That's not surprising. I see people driving and smoking all the time.

Yeah - no. It's WTOP, and their source is the MD State police.

Are you always paranoid? Or just when you are stoned?

What solution do you propose, op? Locking up all users again? Even the ones sitting on their couches?

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.


I didn’t want weed to be illegal, until they made it legal. Now I hate it, because of all the dumbasses who can’t maintain or exercise some discipline and discretion about when and where they should get stoned.

When your insurance rates go up, you’ll care.

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.
