That's a pretty meaningless statement in and of itself. Marijuana can remain in your "system" weeks or even months after any psychoactive effect has disappeared. THC is fat soluble.
Right...none of these accidents...zero...would have happened unless there were drugs/alcohol involved.
I know the current “heroin/opiate/fentanyl” epidemic has resulted in accidents, one can research it. So, yes, I lend credence to the story.
If one wants to talk about marijuana, I suppose it is there, I suppose states such as Washington (per Michael Medved, talk radio) has seen an increase in accidents but I would want to look at the data myself.
I guess the hippies were right when they said “no worse than alcohol”
A nation rots from within. Throughout recorded history, hedonistic debauchery preceded the final collapse of nations. Sadly a near majority of American have embraced neo pagan values and behavior.
Potheads kill.
Tests that detect marijuana's active ingredient, THC, don't always do so in a way that reflects whether a person is impaired, as traces of THC can remain in the system long after use and individual tolerance varies widely. But the group says it is reasonably certain to believe that marijuana has contributed to the causes of some crashes and increased the risk of driving for some motorists.
Then percent of drivers in CO say that being high makes them better drivers!
So this is a statement they just pulled out of their rear end. I don't want to go much farther with this because I am certainly not defending pot or driving stoned but I like to see real objective evidence in these types of articles.
Yep. It’s a bit like saying “the money tested for traces of cocaine.” Pretty much all money not fresh out of the mint will test positive for cocaine residue.
i.e. meaningless.
Honestly, I’d worry more about texters.

In before the first pot apologist says "Marijuana stays in your system long after the high is gone".
You are late.
Meaningless statement?
Tell that to Ron’s fiancé Barb.
OOPS! I should’a read #2...
So zero tolerance for booze and pot, IOW a BAC of zero and a zero for THC. Wouldn’t bother me a bit.
Why is this startling?
And there are a lot of FReeper potheads. At least Soros is happy.
Too late
