I don't drive

When a stoner runs you over in a crosswalk because they were a little too slow getting to the brake pedal, your opinion will change.

Sucks to be you

Not as much as it sucks to be you though.

Yeah, they do. Pot slows you down. And their foot is slower getting to the brake pedal in an emergency. And they steer slower trying to avoid something. And they react slower to a dangerous situation.

And all that adds up to more crashes.

We should make alcohol illegal again, too. It would reduce drunk driving accidents since too many people can't exercise some discipline.

I don't smoke pot or drink btw. But, if you think making pot illegal again to make the roads safer, then we should definitely make alcohol illegal again because there are more drunk driving accidents than pot driving accidents.

No argument. I’d be fine with outlawing alcohol again. No problem with that at all. None. Zero.

I'm much more worried about all the sober a55hole drivers in DC who put pedestrian lives at risk due to run of the mill speeding, red light running and assorted dangerous driving behaviors.

Im assuming crashed would be linked to slower reaction time?

My first Maryland drivers suck anyway. They really don’t need anything that makes them even worse drivers. But, the road rage in MD is insane. Maybe pot mellows people out and they are actually safer drivers.

Vodka mellows me out. So it’s fine with you folks if I have 6 or 8 shots before I drive by your kids bustop, right?

Are you 14? You must be, because my dumbass kid is 15, and even he’d never say anything that stupid.

Hey...moron. Most people DO drive slower when stoned. Nobody said about being more attentive while stoned.

I'm the same. Pot smokers got a good deal and are blowing it, pardon the pun. They're apparently too dumb to unobtrusively smoke pot without bothering / endangering others. Throw the book at any violations

Who knew pot smoking causes aggression?

Does it give you road rage too, PP?
