Everyday you can read about drunk drivers, and that is usually just the stories where they have killed someone. Many do not realize that even if no one is killed the results from a impaired driving charge can be devastating - not to mention $$$$ - court, your record, insurance (that will not pay if you are impaired) shame and the tole it takes on a family. They happen every day, at all times of the day - I use to think; I don't like to be out on the roads late for fear of impaired drivers - then I saw a lady on T.V who killed a little girl because she was impaired at 9:30 a.m. I will admit when I was younger I did drive impaired and I have thanked God that I did not kill anyone or hurt myself. We hear about it all the time, we read about it all the time and we continue to do it all the time...
It is hard NOT to get caught up in the cannabis/alcohol comparison when you start to research all of this. If anything should be illegal it is alcohol.
Been there done that.. that is NOT going to happen.
*NOW more proof:

proof that *1 given the option people would rather get 'high" than drink alcohol. Why? Because they know Cannabis is safer. *2 Cannabis does make people more cautious drivers. Well with a couple of exceptions, I've noticed AGAIN its the person not the pot. Aggressive, bad drivers - are still bad drivers. But I have been with many drivers that are 'high' medicated and noticed a sense of calm. I can tell you about a year ago I was having a bad day and took a pain pill for my arthritis, 20 mins. later I was feeling so doped out I had to cancel plans because I knew I could not drive.
I AM NOT saying to drive HIGH either. Different peole are effected by Cannabis in different ways. IF you are not in control of your mind/body you should not get behind the wheel! Guess what makes people the second most dangerous drivers? - Prescribed medications, and then sleep - being tired.
Hmmm.. Cannabis once again seems to be less harmful that several other things.
Also this was only once recent article on the driving thing.. want more proof - start to research it - you will be amazed, confused and angry.
Drive Safe! Please do not drink and drive. xox <><
