Only one problem with your “solution”-—what about the innocent non-druggie people they kill along with themselves? I have long wondered about the people in the lanes on either side of me when the lanes were especially narrow, curved, or the weather demanded top driving skills. If they were in any way impaired, they could cause harm to me, a decided NON-druggie, and others who never smoked, drank, etc.

To quote Mary Shafer, an engineer who used to fly in one of the last SR-71’s in operation,

“Perfect safety is for those who don’t have the balls to live in the real world.”

You have to deal with all manner of hazards on the road. Always have, always will.

The “drug war” has been an expensive failure, both in terms of money and in terms of civil liberties. The number of people who have been killed in their own homes, without cause, by police pretending that they’re taking down a “drug dealer” is now reaching absurd levels.

I’ll deal with the druggies on the road every day if it means that we can fire half the police in the nation and forever prohibit no-knock warrants and SWAT raids on nothing more than drug informant information.

Read the study. It appears that fewer innocents are killed when pot is permitted (either the stoners stay home instead of going out to bars, or are safer when stoned than when they used to be drunk.)
