As cannabis is neither lethal nor physically addictive, it needs to be completely taken off the schedule and legalized, not on "Schedule 3" where federal police (which are provided for nowhere in the Constitution, by the way) can still lock you in a cage for years, merely for possessing the plant.
Meanwhile, anyone can walk into a liquor store and buy enough booze to kill themself within the hour if they choose to chug it - free choice for free adults in a free society. (This is a good thing; let them "weed" themselves out :)
It’s fine to take it off the schedule, but it’s not fine to stop enforcing DUI for people that are high.
I know of multiple fatal crashes because people thought they were fine to drive high as a kite.
And I don’t think it’s okay to be vaping and smoking marijuana around schools and public places just like cigarettes. St. Louis smells like a Bob Marley concert at all times now, and it’s annoying when you’re just trying to go about your day.
Yes but DUI fatalities drop by about 25% when states legalize cannabis.
Fully legal, non-scheduled ethanol is a far worse alcohol problem than THC is.
Drivers under the influence of THC actually tend to drive 5-10 mph SLOWER than usual...almost everyone has experienced this phenomenon, it's a running joke. I've never personally heard of anyone being in an accident due to THC but I've had two close friends die while driving drunk.
But we agree, both options should be off the schedule and up to free adults to decide what to put inside their body.
I’m going to need a study link to show people drive slower after consuming THC and not « everyone has experienced it. »
Maybe have the personal responsibility to not put others at risk by driving high in the first place? 5-10 mph slower on a highway absolutely can cause major accidents.
I don’t know about you, but I get blurred vision when using medical marijuana. I’d never get behind the wheel of a car because I would be unable to make the quick decisions necessary to avoid a collision and would have difficulty seeing the lines on the road.
It’s really quite simple. Don’t be under the influence when you get behind the wheel a vehicle. It’s not that hard.
But because people, including those on this board, have the self image that it « could never be them , » we need some kind of regulations in place.
Federal decriminalization will bring gold columbian back!...haven't seen it since 1978
