Yes, that's true, and it's called: FREEDOM.

Yes, freedom, liberty, happiness and not having some other American tell you what to do.

What about the freedom, liberty, and happiness of those that die from someone high on pot killing them in the workplace, on the road or through some other idiot behavior because their decision process was impaired? I temporary high is not worth the misery the drug can cause or the negative costs to our society.

Take a look at the many problems caused by alcohol and prescription drugs. If the drug is legalized, there is no going back because it is an industry controlled by greed.

What about the freedom, liberty and happiness of those killed in the work place by sober people? Just like people on the highway, far more are killed by sober people than drunk people or people on weed.

Ridiculous argument not worthy of a comment. Guess that was 'Judy' getting in the last word.

No, it's just a fact you should think about every time you want to treat someone involved in an accident differently because they smoked a joint last weekend or had a beer with their lunch. Accidents are accidents. Sure, the super drunk person is dangerous and can easily cause an accident, but every day more accidents are caused by cold sober distracted and aggressive drivers than by drunks and pot smokers.

So the loss is no big deal to you as long as it is not the major cause. Some accidents are caused by unforeseen failures such as a tire blowing out. But even then, the alertness of the driver can save the day. Near Palm Springs, on the 10 Freeway, a bus driver rearended a stopped truck. He apparently was sleepy and didn't notice the truck. IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT! But if he was alert, it wouldn't have happened. Most accidents involving vehicles are mistakes made by one person or the other. Some people develop skills so they can avoid the mistakes of other drivers. These ones may go their whole life not having an accident. Then there are others who are constantly getting in accidents. Lack of skill, distraction, even drugs make them a danger.

You are so eager to accept the weak link as the standard. Like I said in another thread, if they are on their own property and cannot harm another, drug your mind out. But if they have access to vehicles or an opportunity to harm someone else, they must have their rights restricted.

Why do people waste their time arguing over nonsense?
