I think most people agree that driving stoned is not nearly as dangerous as driving drunk. Most studies show that after smoking pot, the only noticeable side-affect in studies, is driving too slow. It also reduces your reaction time, and as a chronic smoker, i can testify that i've been way to baked to drive. It does reduce reaction time, and i know you can be distracted if you aren't used to the psychedelic effects.

Either way, if you were a first time smoker, smoked down some BC bud and buckled up, you'd probably cause an accident.

I think it should be a judgement call, there is no way to test for it.

This is NOT just a local law. I know people it has happened to in 2 states. I'm would wager very good chances it is done in other states as well.

Please give me a link comparing drunk vs. stoned driving and ability. i would love to read a study.

and as for a judgment call being the grounds for decision....i think most people who have too much too drink have this grandeous idea of driving coeherently...so they drive despite obvious reasons not too.

Like i have earlier proposed, driving sober is driving safest. When the weed is legalized, it still will be regulated in manners such as traffic law.

Legalization does not equal Thunder Dome.  :tongue:

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Michigan is one of ten states that have enacted so-called "zero tolerance" drugged driving laws. Under Michigan's law, it is a criminal offense for an individual to operate a motor vehicle with any detectable level of a Schedule I substance present in his or her bodily fluids

My best friend just got his DUI thrown out in court. He had his license gone for 30 days while waiting, and got fired because he spent 3 weeks in court! 3 weeks!

The cop never had a breathelizer, but instead decided to mark him as "refusal to blow" because when he didn the field sobriety test, he couldnt walk a straight line well. The cop did not care that he had a broken left ankle though. This guy who never drinks, was *obviously* drunk ...

He should try to sue the police dept for damages caused to his life for going through the whole ordeal and loosing his job.
