Every state issues alcohol permits. Are they liable for drunks murdering people every year?
Can a state be sued for allowing the sale of alcohol?
Can a gun manufacturer be sued if a gun that they made is used in a crime?
Can an open carry state be sued if a gun is used in a crime?
No, Democrat politicians are never responsible for anything, except when my tax dollars goes to fund their vote buying.
Nothing close to the misery and mayhem created by alcohol
Watch out the drugatarians and “victimless crime” crowd are coming with torches and pitchforks. Never even look like your getting between an addict and their fix.
To my knowledge there is no test that can determine whether or not a person is high on marijuana so I’d say the question is moot unless an accused person states that he or she was high on marijuana.
Different way to ask the question: Can a State that allows for the selling of a product/user in their state, that is illegal in another state, be held liable for the miss use of that product in the other state.
Assume: State A allows for selling of alcohol to 18 year olds. State B requires 21 years old.
Case: a person legally buys in State A, then drinks and travels to State B and causes a loss.
Question: Does State A then have a liability for some of the loss?
I say generally no.
This is what the gun grabbers do - just replace “high on pot” with “armed” and this could have come verbatim from a Soros hoplophobic propaganda factory.
Are you kidding? The niparty is more than happy to have a drug addled population under its control.
Just like Hillary, are ya? She wants gun manufacturers held liable for shooters who kill.
In two of the big problem areas associated with alcohol, domestic violence and DWI, I don't recall ever reading of someone high on pot committing a serious offense, although I am sure that this must happen sometimes.
>>...can they be held responsible for creating/enabling an environment that contributed to an accident or a crime?<<
Good grief. This is just about as dumb as it gets.
Can anyone spell....A L C O H O L?
Not defending pot use, but come on. Far more folks have been killed or injured because of alcohol.
Can you sue the state when someone is drunk and commits a crime, because the state allows alcohol to be sold?
2 words - Illegal Immigration.
I read down 25 responses and no one else said it. It’s real, the raping, the pillaging and the plundering. I’m a Medical MJ patient in Montana. I think you have your priorities a little messed up.
This will be huge - there are now bona fide marijuana overdose deaths. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2548669/Devout-Christian-mother-three-31-woman-Britain-DIE-cannabis-poisoning-smoking-joint-bed.html
