If it is possible to be neutral on such a topic that is me, I would not vote for it but I would not fight against it either. There are those that would be more than happy to take away my right to have a nice cold beer with my dinner or while reading at night. Are they any different than those fighting against pot? I think the difference is that you can drink without getting drunk. People drink in moderation and never get drunk all of the time. Wine with dinner, and so on. But people don't smoke pot for nothing to happen. No one engages in it just to have a smoke in the evening. They are smoking to get the high. There is no point to it if you don't get the mind altering effects. My question is how those mind altering effects impair judgeement and reaction time on the road. www.nor this shouldn't be made into an argument about driving when high, because the law still say even though you can smoke it you still can't be driving under the influence. it will be treated the same way that alcohol is. I'm a medical user myself and i can say from personal experience that alcohol is worse for the body than marijuana if you want more information check this out www.norml.org this plant has many medical uses and you can't say that about alcohol. All of that misses the point. The point is that the effect of driving impaired is the same when drunk or high. They both slow your reaction time. If you are driving down a street and someone crosses the street and you just keep going because it takes longer for the message to slow down is received, you end up killing someone. That's the point. It's not an argument about which is healthier or better for you. Both impair judgement and no one smokes recreational MJ not to get high. People with impaired judgment think they are just fine and drive home alright. They end up killing themselves or someone else. What we don't need is one driving drunk and some other guy driving high and innocent people now having to dodge both. You got that right ..Brother Now I wonder how the laws will be for driving under the influence of marijuana ? The same as those drunken drivers ? Some are still in jail with 3 DWI's.

People killed by drunk drivers all of the time. Thousands of them. Now, in addition to drunk drivers behind the wheel, we now also have to deal with potheads getting high and then getting behind the wheel. The streets just got more dangerous thanks to the liberal stupification of our society once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ninhao Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Once again, you are under the assumption that people are not driving high already. I can say this with confidence, that at least 30% of drivers are probably driving high. Is this why they named Highways ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was before becoming a christian. Pot would completely incompacitate me. I could not understand how someone could drive while smoking it. I couldn't do anything! Linear time just doesn't work anymore. Everything feels so slooow, then you forget what you are doing and where you are. It feels like being in a cartoon or something. I wonder what purpose it serves? God made it for a reason right? Maybe it helps animals during labor or somthing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it helps animals during labor or somthing. :24: This was pretty much my experience when hitting the ol' bong before I got saved. Driving? 15 mph felt like 75! And the cotton mouth made me drink way too much beer, which only made things worse because then I was drunk and stoned. Riding a bicycle wasn't such a great idea either because its really difficult to balance and all when stoned. Stoned people tend to turn into furniture for a reason. Maybe that's why "they" want it legalized. Stoned people don't demonstrate or riot. They just go to Denny's, Taco Bell, and convenience stores for the munchies.

Why does it matter that marijuana is "better" than some other drug, when both are drugs and both are harmful to the body? I have failed to find a real scientific study that has shown marijuana is harmful to the body By "real", I take it you mean someone that is a user of marijuana? There are tons of scientific studies that show that it is harmful, but they are not even necessary. Because everyone who has been a habitual pot smoker, or knows one, knows what a stoner looks and acts like. You can pick them out from a mile away.

Eyes blood shot and wide open . It stones your brain and mobility and time is all in slow motion. Plus if a person drinks alcohol and smokes pot , it intensifies the effect on a person like your body weights a ton.. takes forever to get to where you want to walk to. I don't need drugs or alcohol .... I rather be in my normal straight mind and be on a natural high with life . Thank you Lord ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
