Not to mention they fail to explain how any marihuana related death was possible in 2010 since it was illegal at the time. Don’t they know prohibition works? /sarc
But in all seriousness this is a classic example where the old phrase comes to mind, “there are lies, there are damned lies, then there are statistics.”
I have been a prosecutor and defense attorney for nearly 8 years and I can say without a doubt alcohol is way more dangerous to drive on than marijuana.
There are plenty of people safely driving around while taking hydrocodone or oxycodone because their tolerance prevents the impairment that might otherwise result. Marijuana is not much different.
Also, these statistics are pretty useless and until they show a direct connection between the fatality and the alleged impairment. For instance, if a guy smokes weed and is driving down the street and a little old lady (sober as a priest) runs a stop light resulting in both of their deaths then is it properly included as a “marihuana related death”? I don’t think so.
Lots of agendas going on here.
Most of it has to do with all the government jobs that are attached to the endless losing WOD.
Agreed on all points.
But the real thrust is this: Nobody is saying it should be legal to get high and drive.
