I have a family member who is a cop in a state that has legalized pot. 100% of the highway fatalities or people responsible for fatalities in the last 6 months had marijuana in their systems. Some had alcohol too, but that was not the majority.
Also, now in that state, people are taking their kids out of the public school system because the schools cannot control marijuana use, since kids now get “legal” pot from their parents or older friends and sit outside smoking dope and the school and law enforcement has been told to ignore it.
Bear in mind that the major exporters of pot, hash, and opium were the Islamic countries, where alcohol is theoretically forbidden, but where they are apparently stoned day and night. Men only - the women do the work, but since they have several wives, I guess that’s enough to support them.
I have always felt that the pot legalization campaign had a big connection with Islam, and I think we’ll find that in the future...when it’s way too late.
I call BS. Which state?
As a retired high school teacher, I cannot tell you how many times I smelled marijuana smoke in stairways or halls, or witnessed obviously high students in my classes. They were dreamy eyed, not 100% connected, and their normal social inhibitions were missing, so they'd blurt out just about anything. Thinking about this first-hand experience at normal thinking processes so changed by weed terrifies me as to the effect on driving or operating dangerous machinery. How would you like your airline pilot high on weed? Or the air traffic controller? Or those monitoring nuclear energy plants? Or the guys driving to the left lane and right lane of you?
