simple solution, if you use “medical” pot then you are prohibited from driving. period. no drivers license until 30 days after the “treatment stops” and six months of automatic monthly drug testing the “patient” pays for consisting of 8 random tests with 8 hours notice.

People die now due to someone drunk and driving. Is that sufficient reason to ban alcohol?

Same rule for alcohol - or prescription painkillers?

That's laughable. Rx painkillers and booze are far more dangerous on our roads than pot will ever be. If you had real-life experience with smokers, you would know pot makes people slow down and drive more carefully. Cell phones and other distractions are far more dangerous.

Booze makes people more likely to drive faster, take more risks and impairs far more. When mixed with prescriptions, it puts people completely out of their minds and blocks memory completely. Even someone doing their best to overdose on pot (impossible) can never get close to that level of impairment.

By your logic, we should ban driving for people with prescriptions or those that declare they drink.
