Legal pot and car crashes: Yes, there's a link - CBS News
I'm exited they are taking an in depth on this now that they have evidence. Show the true cost of "Chill dude, it's just mj"
Well all you have to do is look at I-25 when a few snow flakes fall, and see all the Texans and Californians in the ditch, lol.
Excited to see more studies into this threat to the roads.
Tell me, is it legal to drive while stoned?
Have you any clue how many people are driving while on prescription narcotics???
If you're on some kind of anti-legal-marijuana crusade, you really need to get your fears into some kind of rational order of significance.
It's not fear, it's a rationale look at drug use. Legalizing weed isn't a magic bullet to solve the social, legal and criminal costs associated. While it might solve one set of problems, legalization has it's own costs that the pro-legalization crowd tends to downplay or ignore.
No one who's pro-legalization here is ignoring any 'costs'.
The only one ignorning anyting is you, ignoring that the 'link' between pot and car crashes is specious.
Like how the HLDI is associated with the insurance companies that don't want to pay out, lol.
So first off, I'm sure they can find marijuana in someone's system who has been in a car wreck, but that doesn't mean it was a contributing factor to the crash as it can remain in one's system for far long than is active.
Secondly, CO has some terrible drivers, and it's not because of legal weed. It's because assholes from Texas and California are moving into this state in droves. Probably because we have legal weed, lol.
Uh huh. Maybe personal experience is biasing me. I mean, after all, pot heads are known far and wide for being responsible individuals who'd never toke up and drive...

There are those who are responsible marijuana users, and there are those who aren't.
No, it's your intellectual dishonesty that's biasing you.
The old "You don't agree with my position so you're stupid" insult trope. How predictable.
No, your position and your promotion of the specious claim that 'they have evidence' are clear evidence of intellectual dishonesty.
To claim that that's an insult is yet more intellectual dishonesty. I mentioned nothing about stupidity.
Funny how that works.

They do show a link, one you disagree with. Instead of having a rational discussion on the merits you accuse me of "intellectual dishonesty" for not sharing your views.
I get it, you think pot legalization is a good thing and I disagree. Let's leave it at that, there is nothing productive in our discussion at this point.

Like drunks?
Time is marching on, evolve or perish.
No, they fall victim to 'correlation does not imply causation' and did not factor in several potential variables quite conspicuously, as has already been pointed out. Rational discussion on the merits has already occurred, and the flaws in the study pointed out.
If you were being intellectually honesty, you would've known that. The link is specious and remains undemonstrated.
I see the whole "We're not going to agree" on this was too much for you.
You have an opinion, one I do not share. I do not think your position is one of "intellectual dishonesty" but you cannot show me the same courtesy. Thus I have nothing further to discuss with you.
The difference is my opinion is backed up by objective reality.
Arrogance.
Newp. Dispassionate observation. You just cant' seem to grasp the reality of the failed nature of the study you're trumpeting.
Eh. Not my problem.
It's so failed you've gone to great length and insults to disparage it.
Yes, I'm aware that not all people that toke up are stupid, but as we know from alcohol, it's the stupid that cause the most problems. Also legalizing weed has it's own set of criminal problems as the states are finding out.
