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.

I'm not worried about it, not one bit. I will never walk out of my house, get in the car and be worried for 1 second about a possible pot smoker on the road. I used to own a business and it's obvious as hell to any manager if someone's impaired by drugs or liquor, and you send them home. See if drugs were a problem in the work place, there would be separate studies but it isn't so they lump them in with the drinkers. The biggest hazard of alcohol in the work place are the drunk executives cutting deals with Mexico and China to relocate their operations and close the plant.

Stay focused on the big stuff that really matters. Weed doesn't matter. Jobs, Trade, Immigration, FairTax and Peace. That's what matters. Our country isn't going to hell in a hand basket because of cannabis, it's going to hell in a hand basket because of lack of good jobs, trade deficits, illegal immigration, massive legal immigration, income taxes and foreign wars that never end due to the actions of the same people who ban recreational drugs. They were wrong on all the others, so why think they're right on drugs? Nope, they were wrong all the way down the line because they're CROOKS AND IDIOTS.



Man, what a week this has been, huh??!!

"What, Me worry?" You probably won't see them coming.

You notice that after they run over another employee with the fork lift? If you notice it, them it obviously has impaired them. So you send them out to drive home killing someone else on their way. But you won't chalk that up as a death due to pot. It will be AN ACCIDENT!

So you can't multitask!

So we need a comprehensive fix that covers all of these at once!

Why do people waste their time arguing over nonsense?

Boredom?
Attempt to influence others?
Argumentative personality?
Fear of being proven wrong?
Failure to accept facts for fact even when they are provided?
Interest in healthy (and sometimes unhealthy) debate?
Anger?
Time consumer while waiting for "Tucker Carlson Tonight" or "The Walking Dead" to come on?
Too much coffee and free time?

I don't know. Maybe one of the above or something else. Choose your poison.
