Who could have seen this coming? A few beers and a toke or two...

States that eased marijuana laws see more impaired driving, report says

According to DFAF, the 18 states with less restrictive marijuana policies have seen far more cases of impaired driving of this kind, something that medical research shows can be very dangerous.

Impaired driving or driving with weed in their system.

That article does nothing to mention serious accidents or anything. It just talks about how driving high CAN be dangerous.

Everyone knows weed stays in your system for a long time. Most of those drivers are likely not actually impaired.

almost exactly like how all deaths from natural causes and the flu, were all listed as covid deaths when it benefited them to do so.

funny how that works, that they support false narratives at will when they want to blame it on something

I don't even like taking ibuprofen... Saying such a thing is the height of intellectual laziness. You are not a conservative if you relish the thought of the government dictating what you can and cannot put in your own body. So long as you are not causing harm to unwilling participants, such as driving under the influence, I couldn't care less what someone does to themselves.

Making a substance legal increases the number of people willing to try it that have no idea wtf it does to their body. More on this story at 10.

It’s always been bull shite to equate the affect of weed with alcohol on driving. But it’s an easy target for the state to raise revenue and taint people’s lives.

Rejoice boomers. You get to keep drinking and beating your wives while keeping the big bad weed illegal.

This is Chestersons fence.

The cultural and legal prohibitions that exist around drug use, exist because of the practical problems that drug use brings, and because of the social damage that ensues from them.

You are no different than a liberal wanting to ban things.

You aren't conservative if you are trying to restrict someone's freedom to kill or maim people while getting high.

Of course not

And it's not like people have a difficult time finding weed in states where it's illegal

I don't even smoke and could get some within a couple of hours tops
