Sounds like what a drunk who just left the bar says 10 mins before he kills a family on their way home from the water park.

So what do all the sober people, who cause most of the accidents, say?

I drive around "impaired" every time I drive, because I vape all day. Amazing how I can still dodge all those sober assholes, but yet somehow Im gonna kill this family coming home from the water park? No, sorry, that's gonna be someone else who just simply wasn't paying the fuck attention, for whatever reason. And as I drive by, high as a kite, it will only serve as a reminder to continue to drive defensively until I get to my destination.

You think you can drive well high, but that's only because you are high. You are putting innocent peoples lives at risk. Stop being selfish before you kill someones baby.

Why should people be able to listen to a radio, to eat, to talk to the passengers, to do makeup, to take cell phone calls?? Why not just enclose the driver in their own little bubble with no input for safety!!

a lot of what you named is already illegal explicitly or under distracted driving statutes.

you mean through roadside sobriety tests, aka an officer's favorite way to collect evidence which they can interpret in any way they wish?

any lawyer will advise you to refuse a roadside sobriety test. offer what implied consent dictates you must and that's it.

Roadside sobriety tests keep drunks off the roads - imperative for public safety. Have you been done DWI before?

The test will be a saliva swab. I don't drive anyway.

I have a limo
I sit in the back
I lock the doors
in case I'm attacked

But, you guys are in trouble. Sex crazed Stoners bouncing around from lane to lane foaming at the mouth.

a breathalyzer does the same thing and a cop can't just make up what he "perceived".

got a DUI when i was 18, court-appointed lawyer for all of us indigent folks told us all to never submit to one. offer breath or blood instead. roadside sobriety tests are just an evidence collection mechanism for cops and in no way required of anyone, ever.

So you feel drunk/high driving should be legal?

And they wonder what is wrong with the world today.

So you feel it's okay to drive impaired? You have no issues with people who jeopardize the lives of innocent people? You think it's "creepy"?

People legally prescribed pain medication are routinely given DWI citations in my state.

I have a friend who had this happen and he had taken a pain pill the day before. It stays in your system for 3 days or something. He had a valid recent prescription. His attorney told him not to present the prescription as an excuse because often prescription equals impaired.

Don't be driving after getting stoned. It's not as bad as alcohol, but it still impairs you.

You're right to smoke weed ends on the highway. You have no right to endanger me, or others with your "medicine."

I would get more fucked up from a cigarette than I would a joint while operating machinery.

I don't advocate doing complex functions that could jeopardize other's lives while under the influence of marijuana, but if I had to pick a poison, it'd be pot.

I will say that I believe that some measure of impairment must be defined. Same as with alcohol. To fail to do so is irresponsible.

You are accusing me of being "creepy" because I feel driving high is wrong. How can you justify that?

And stop calling me "dude".

When my tolerance is up I don't feel that I am impaired one single bit to drive a car. To intensely focus on a spread sheet to do a P&L statement, yes.

The reality is that my ability to react quickly to a sudden road hazard is slightly impaired, as is yours.

Some folks who partake are affected more than others.

We can't have laws to allow me or you to have some level while others get a lower limit.

It has to be the same for all. Although the impairment isn't as severe as alcohol, it still exists, and when you're piloting a multi thousand pound vehicle that can take the lives of others, you do not have the right to diminish your ability to operate it at the expense of increased risk to others. However small.

We, the weed movement, need to get behind the punishment for driving impaired on it. Failing to do so, or worse still arguing that it be allowed will only give stoners a bad name and hinder the movement.

I'm sure none of these people intended to get high and kill anyone..

Marijuana playing larger role in fatal crashes
As more states are poised to legalize medicinal marijuana, it's looking like dope is playing a larger role as a cause of fatal traffic accidents.

Columbia University researchers performing a toxicology examination of nearly 24,000 driving fatalities concluded that marijuana contributed to 12% of traffic deaths in 2010, tripled from a decade earlier.

-
MAJOR CAUSE OF
INJURY ACCIDENTS
the leading cause of death for young
people.
By Roger Morgan, Exec Director, Coalition for A Drug
-
Free California
Marijuana is the illicit drug used most often (70%) by drivers who drove after drug
use and is a
major factor why motor vehicle crashes are
the leading cause of death for American young
people
(NHTSA, 2000)
http://www.drugfreecalifornia.org/PDF/trafficaccidents.pdf

Pot-related fatalities up
Marijuana use once caused one-third, or about 33%, of drugged driving deaths in Colorado. However, drugged-driving fatalities caused by marijuana use crossed the 50% mark in 2010 — the year dispensaries started to take off in this state. In 2011, marijuana use was cited as the cause of 56% of drugged driving deaths.

About 85% of drivers killed in collisions in Colorado have their blood tested for alcohol and drugs. In 2011, 51% of those dead drivers who tested positive for any impairing substance, tested positive for drugs. The remainder tested positive for alcohol, or a combination of alcohol and drugs. Driving impairment because of drug use is no longer a fringe problem. It is becoming dominant.

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.
