CNN) – The National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that the probable cause of a crash that killed 12 people on a church bus near Concan, Texas, in March 2017 was that the 20-year-old man whose truck hit the bus was under the influence of marijuana and a sedative.

People have booze. Get a buzz or have too many, and then sleep off their hangover the next day.

Happens every week in this country on Friday or Saturday.

we have laws regarding the exercise of all natural rights.

We have laws against driving while impaired by alcohol, and we ought to have similar laws regarding pot - but no more - unless alcohol DUI is a good argument for banning alcohol (again).

My sincere condolences....anyone who said legalizing was a good idea was foolish. Workplace injuries, vehicle injuries and deaths....decay of society in general.
