E-O-M -“I am sensing some blantant outward animosity and labeling so ill stop making points.”
Really -is that how I’m coming across? Perhaps it’s because I’m against people taking drugs for no good reason(s)?
“Ok last point- your opinion of drinking and driving versus smoking and driving is just that- a matter of opinion, based completely on how you feel instead of being based on any fact whatsoever. I, for example am of the exact opposite opinion of yours regarding this matter.”
It is Not just my opinion -there are statistics behind my opinion. And here is one:
“Driving after smoking even a small amount of marijuana almost doubles the risk of a fatal highway accident, according to an extensive study of 10,748 drivers involved in fatal crashes between 2001 and 2003.
A study by the French National Institute for Transport and Safety Research published in the British Medical Journal found that seven percent of drivers involved in a fatal highway crash used marijuana.
The researchers estimated that at least 2.5 percent of the 10,748 fatal crashes studied were directly caused by the use of marijuana.”
While alcohol at a certain % level is involved in more crashes than Pot this is because alcohol is legal -so people drink and drive, even above the limit. Pot is illegal and still there are accidents because of it -so you can just imagine the amt. of accidents there would be if they legalize Weed!
