Heck, a lack of proper sleep will impair you more than smoking a joint. Not that I condone toking and driving. It's not harmless as some people suggest, but then neither is Vitamin A or water. Too much of either and you're going to have a bad day.
However, some police are even beginning to question just how much marijuana impairs a person's ability to drive, although unquestionably there are some strains of marijuana that one definitely shouldn't plan on driving while or after toking.
And I will also contend that in most accidents where pot is the leading cause, it isn't so much a case of impairment but a case of toking while driving. It's especially difficult to pass and receive a joint while trying to drive. The distraction level is huge, unless you have a nice pair of hemostats.


I would say "no problem"...............unless they can determine how much is safe, then zero should be acceptable!

With legalization comes hefty consequences that stoners have overlooked.

By legalizing, the Feds won the war on drugs.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Anyone know what all these people on welfare are going to subsidize their low income with, now that pot is legal?
What new crime will be their new revenue?

"It is often said that little is known about the psychological and physical effects of marijuana on the human user. This is a simple error of fact. In addition to many hundreds of significant papers reporting marijuana research through the past century, an impressive series of official investigating bodies have reviewed all of the available evidence and have presented their findings at length. The most important of these official marijuana investigation reports are listed here."
The Le Dain Commission Report

My god, you sound like a smack addict.
please see my post above if you have trouble telling the difference between pot and opiates
like the pain killers the Doctors hand out like candy so that some pig farma can make billions

My take on Marijuana is as follows, Medical marijuana should be easy to obtain with a prescription and the tax on it should be nil- minimal. Recreational marijuana should be legal (from designated sources) and the taxes should be high enough to discourage its purchase and low enough to make it difficult for the "bootleggers". Medicinal marijuana should be no different from medicinal penicillin or medicinal insulin but W.T.F. has heard of recreational penicillin or insulin? :)

Yes well the regulators can do whatever they wish with marajuana the cannibis however, in all it's variants, must be exempted from government tampering of any sort. It's great utility should be fully realized accross it,s medicinal and friberous spectrum. The fact that it isn't is a crime against humanity.

The fibre and food idea is easily trumped by flax. Medicinal uses are marginal.

Until the double blind research comes in its anecdotal.

Have every user do a 'taste test' at certain levels of intake and the VR driving machine will tell if they are impaired or not. Then do the ones for the drunk drivers at the limit they were at when they were arrested and compare the two.

I'm going to be the first to call a scam if pot comes in two flavors, 'medical' which is prescription covered and recreational which is better but not covered and you have to initial the receipt as proof you know the risks.

Medicinal uses are marginal.

Let's give you one of ailments it helps and suddenly it would be a plant worth it's weight in diamonds.

Well look at that LudLowLife's brain waves on drugs and then again when he is not on drugs. It explains a lot.
