Yes I have, and my ability to drive safely was impaired.
This is why it's illegal to drive on a cell phone.
Driving isn't illegal. Talking on a phone isn't illegal. The problem comes when you combine the two.

I do believe it will go up, you seem to think that drug testing doesnt hinder ones choice in what they do? What about providing for themselves and their family? Many who do not have jobs will not chance smoking if they have to go for a drug test to get employed, many companys have a random drug test policy where they can instantly fire someone for being on drugs.
I do believe this hinders or at least causes pause with many people who would likely do drugs but have such a policy in effects.
The fact that alcohol is legal to use doesn't stop employers from firing people who show up to work drunk.
Seriously...why do you care? Why do you care whether a stranger chooses to smoke pot or not? If he's doing it in his own home, not driving, just smoking pot watching a movie and going to sleep...what is your interest in stopping him?
quote:
From my knowledge tobacco does not kill brain cells, it does not impair ones ability to drive. However I know first hand pot does have that affect. There have been deaths related to smoking pot.
I'm pretty confident more people have died from tobacco-related illnesses (cancer, emphysema, circulatory problems) than have died in marijuana-related accidents.
quote:
I guarantee, that the number of accidents and fatalities involving smoking pot will increase if the drug becomes legal.
I guarantee the number of accidents and fatalities involving motor vehicles will increase if driving a car is legal.
I don't understand, you seem so confident that a law against marijuana will stop people from smoking it but you don't seem to apply the same logic to a law against DWI.
