...and I'm pretty sure that somewhere, at some time, a drunk driver crashed into a bar. At least once.An 18-year-old man was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of driving while high on marijuana after he crashed into a marijuana dispensary in Happy Valley.
Alan Alcantara hit an empty parked car near Stumptown Cannabis on Southeast 82nd Avenue around 1:05 a.m. and then crashed into the back wall of the business, according to a probable cause affidavit. He caused more than $1,000 in damages to the other car and the building, court papers said.

Why is this so strange to be noteworthy? :shrug:

It merely underlines the stupidity of intoxication and how marijuana is just as bad an impairment as booze. Making this crap legal, is as stupid as it gets!

I'll overlook the fact that many studies have shown that THC impairment isn't really comparable to alcohol impairment.
But you seem to be pushing for the return of prohibition?
True, but impairment is impairment. If someone ask me what's better, someone driving high, or drunk, with my child in the car. I'd punch that person in the gut and say 'neither'.

what a vandal, creating so much havoc and damage... He caused more than $1,000 in damages to the other car and the building ...

So, in response to simply being asked a question, you'd resort to battery.
Explains a lot.
"Neither" would be the right answer, and I'm certainly not trying to say driving high is ok. But to argue that THC impairment is so bad that legalizing it is stupid is a terribly flawed argument unless one is also pushing for the return of prohibition.

Am I to presume that your attitudes fall thusly?Yep, that's right, just keep denying that legalizing marijuana is a step backwards for our society....
Haha literal people are so adorable. Almost like liberals. One in the same.

Alcohol impairment: :yawn:
Marijuana impairment: :2mad:
For most of this country's history, marijuana was totally legal, so it's a step back in the right direction.
Knowing history is a good thing. I highly recommend it.

Show me the benefit to our society that pot brings that out-weighs the death of even one child.
Fair enough. I respect consistency. I don't agree with your position in that I don't see all bad, and I see your point-of-view as being that we should bring back prohibition of alcohol, but I can respect it for being consistent.Nope. I think that both are bad for society. Adding one more bad thing to our society is not a good thing. Everyone who support legalizing pot seems to throw out the same tired argument, but I've never stated anything like that. I've stood by the idea that we should working to make our society better, not worse, and adding one more legal method for stupid people to make our society worse is a bad idea.
