Not the first time we've been here. But, in the past, social forces would usually be able to effect change. Different world today. We spend a ridiculous mount of GDP on homeland security. When even a limp-dicked movement like occupy wall street draws that much gub'mint ire, what chance is there of anything revolutionary? News flash, Obama announces that NSA may not keep our mail in the future. Hooray (golf clap) How low have our standards gotten?
Tail v dog. I contest the order.
if the law is changed, what's to stop 45 from changing it back?
i don't recall him ever saying that. care to quote what he actually said, or shall i?
it would be much harder to change a law back, say like the aca, then it would be to enforce something that's already in law..
wanna know how easy it would be to change it back? one stoned driver takes out a little girl. boom, see ya.
I can't unequivocally say that. But it would be fascinating to look at the statistics. My guess would be that gunshot wounds though more damaging upon exposure occur far less frequently than knife wounds. So though more dramatic and with a greater propensity to morbidity and mortality with each exposure the sheer rate of occurrence could make knife wounds the greater public health issue.
umm, never, because i don't believe cannabis impairs driving in any way like alcohol does.. i've yet to see any test that shows me otherwise.. i drive stoned all of the time.. i've also driven drunk at a much younger age.. i've wised up and realize driving drunk is a bad idea, but some how the same wisdom hasn't lead me to believe the same about driving stoned..
i just googled "stoned driver kills..." and no shortage of ammo there.
plenty of people get killed by drunk drivers, but the 21st still stands..
and zomg, a news agency would actually publish a sensationalized piece saying that stoned driving was bad?? get out of town, i don't believe it, how dare they..
I just spent some time looking for relevant statistics. I didn't have much success. Too many partial or filtered or conditioned studies for me to make heads or tails of them, or to trust suck potenntially massaged datasets. I'll bet the data have been compiled (and analyzed 5 different ways), but they seem to be gatekept.
this has been on my radar for some time. We've seen the power that big pharma yields in this country and sativex is blockade to legalization.
literally chuckled out loud at this. I got pulled over in high school 4 doors down from my from the house. I told the cop that I didn't think I was speeding, he said "no son, you were doing 5". Luckily he went to school with my sister and had a crush on her. He followed me home and made sure I went in. That was the 80's, the 00's I would have been arrested.
