Weed has negliable effects on driving

I want to make sure I understand your argument. If person takes substance X, and as a result impairs their reaction time by 5%, but as a result greatly improves their focus and concentration, would they be worse off? Biologically you're probably right, but if you take the psychological aspect into account, you get a different answer.

Since this is not what happens when smoking marijuana, I have no idea what you are talking about. The increase in focus and concentration is an illusion.



Can I see some of these studies? Do they take poly-drug use into account?

Yes they take poly-substance use into account when applicable. I'll have to go look for them tomorrow as it is about time for me to log off for the night.



You've lost me here. Do you agree that alcohol intoxication impairs driving even when below the legal limit? Do you believe driving under any level of intoxication that causes driving impairment should be illegal?[/QUOTE]

Yes and yes.

Paranoia and caution are directly associated with marijuana use. I don't really see what difference it would make whether or not the caution was self imposed or biologically instigated from a public health perspective.

Self control. That's the difference.
