No not interesting at all. That has been proven to be bullshit. Because it doesn't differentiate between someone who did 25 dabs and then drove vs something who smoked a joint a few weeks ago. There was no proof that it was infact marijuana that caused the crash just that it was in there system when they died.
Did you actually read the article?
The trend suggests that marijuana is playing an increased role in fatal crashes, said Dr. Guohua Li, a co-author and director of the Center for Injury Epidemiology and Prevention at Columbia University Medical Center. The researchers examined data from the federal Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), spanning more than 23,000 drivers killed during that 11-year period.

A study conducted by The American Journal of Epidemiology has been proven to be bullshit? If it has been proven, show proof.
Did you actually read the article?
But they use words like "trend" and "suggest" No where did they actually state that the marijuana caused the accidents, but by studying 23,000 cases, there is in fact a correlation. If you aren't familiar with statistics, a sample size of 23,000 is huge and gives a very good representation rather than studying 5,000 and applying percentiles and error. They also mention alcohol is still the worst, but no one is debating that, we are simply debating you stating weed does absolutely nothing to your driving.

I don't need statistics to know that when they legalize weed more people will be using weed therefore of course more people will have weed in their system. It's not rocket science. The fact that you and the media are pointing it out and using it for bad is just absolute laughable. Also it doesn't state whether or not marijuana caused the crash so then why is marijuana even relevant. Why even post it?

And those are just the first three off Google. And remembered that I don't even combust it I only vaporize although if you read those articles even if you smoke it it really doesn't make a difference.
And I'll let scientific evidence tell me whether or not to drive while high. **** I'll be the evidence to show that yes it my impairs me a little but not enough for it to make a difference in my driving. If that were the case then no one should be able to drive after drinking coffee as that is a stimulant which is actually a drug, right? Why stop at marijuana? See do you see that the actual impairment does matter and until there is evidence that backs you up then I'll continue to say otherwise. How about you just forgive and forgot and I'll do the same.
ONE LOVE!
