States that legalized recreational weed see increase in car accidents, studies say



The penalties in this country for driving under the influence are weak
Drunk driving is a real problem. You get caught, you should lose your license permanently.
Drunk drivers kill. Kill a lot.
Alcohol
I wont touch the stuff
Even though its legal and easy to buy, I consider it a hard drug
Its a drug that can really severely incapacitate you.
No thanks, fine with a slight buzz, no interest in getting drunk and wasted.

I was a way better driver
when I drank.
I was a lot more dangerous on a motorcycle.

We used to measure distance traveled by how many beers it took. [in a vehicle]

Occasionally in the paper here, I will see someone with a 3.0 on a breathalyzer and in their sixties. You know they have been driving drunk for years to build up that kind of tolerance.

Some people need drugs to get thru
the day, others can handle reality just fine
without them.

They say the habitual drunk driver gets
busted once for every 50 times he
drives drunk. The judge knows this,
that's why your 2nd arrest is always
worse for you than the 1st.

I knew a guy in Santa Barbara who
got busted 3 times in one week. He
never showed up for court because
he knew it meant jail. So he skipped
town and got a fake ID for 6 years
and lived life on a bicycle in SB.
Drunk all the time, of course.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

When I was working at the DUI attorney we had several clients who had to "consolidate" multiple charges. The attorneys would laugh about it before they arrived.

Why not a birth lottery instead of a culling?


Because that would just limit births, not weed out the deadwood. You would still have people turning out to be long-haired-dope-smoking-maggot-infested-FM Types.

It seems any state or country that legalizes mmj, for the first year or two, there is a lot of money to be made selling the product. Could be a good niche market with the snowbirds that need to fill scrips while visiting?

Tried talking my kid into a weed product store in AK, but she was to busy. Could have made a goodly sum of money before everyone has a store.

Maybe you can push weed on those Scientologists and get them to really witness god? : )
