Notice that his so-called "statistics" don't mention whether the people with cannibas in their systems were
at fault in the accidents, or even whether they were driving, and that they only include
illegal drugs. They are therefore meaningless.
Overwhelmingly, the most common drug found in people who cause traffic accidents, is alcohol.
Well, of course, but since alcohol is a "social" drug, and it's deemed legal, it doesn't matter - pot is bad because it's illegal and anyone who smokes pot should should have all their assets taken by an administrative court (with no constitutional protections), regardless of whether they are convicted of anything or not, in order to fund the investigations of other people smoke pot... yeah, that's a great idea - I think I'll write a letter to congress and tell them that it's an idea who's time has come...
And then, to celebrate this victory against the Devil Weed, we can all go get drunk at the corner bar and drive home in righteous smugness - not caring if we run into a staion wagon full of nuns on the way or not because, at worst, we'll get a stern talking to and a suspended license for a few months...
Overwhelmingly, the most common drug found in people who cause traffic accidents, is alcohol.Alcohol may be the most common drug found, but even if you eliminate it,
- neither are the roads safe
- nor are the other accident causes eliminated (including drugs, speeding, road rage, etc.)
Impaired driving is impaired driving. Injured is injured. Dead is dead.
I sure hope we work on the non-alcohol-related causes, too.
