Dangerous to whom? The user? No idea. To others? Definitely; if the user
drives his sense of time and space is warped...no need to slow down yet,
that car he is coming up on is a block away. Whoops, no it wasn't.

Personally, I have nothing against weed. I haven't used it for 60+ years
and would not if it were legal; nevertheless, I would like to see it made
legal. Same for cocaine, heroin, speed...all drugs. Additionally, I would
like to see them readily available at a realistic cost (free of taxes).

I would lke to see those things because the "war on drugs" is an expensive
farce; it is a war that will never be won (oh, it MIGHT be won if draconian
measures such as summary execution were taken but that is not going to
happen). If all were legal and available, crime related to illegal drugs
would virtually disappear. I would also like to see very stiff penalties
for any crime committed or injury caused while under the influence of a
drug, including alcohol. By "stiff" I mean a mandatory minimum of 5 years
for a first offence,10 years for a second, etc.

Would useage increase? Why should it? Anyone that wants anything can get
it now. Being legal, the "bad boy/girl mystique" is no longer in play.
Just wanna try it? OK, but remember the stiff penalty thing...

Apparently, you have zero experience with driving while smoking cannabis.

There are tests being run, right now, on how cannabis use effects
driving. This cuz medical cannabis is prescribed by real doctors.

Initially, smoking drivers, are not good drivers. After awhile, they
become used to driving while "high" and actually become better
drivers. This is unlike alcohol, which literally decreases one's
ability to function. Alcohol physically impairs a drinker's motor
skills. Not the case with cannabis.

I tried driving after a few joints *just the once* and never again.
I had a session at a friends house and I thought I was doing about
30mph, but on looking at the speedo it read about 8mph :-)
Since then I only toke late in the evening in *my own house*.
No harm done to anyone else.

When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and didn’t like it. I didn't inhale, and I didn't try it again.

It's only enjoyable if you inhale.

I might, if it wasn't all nonsense.

Alcohol is legal cuz it provides lotsa income fer LE and is a huge thriving
industry, jes like cannabis is destined to be.

Notice how all states now have insanely high fines on drunk driving
laws, yet alcohol consumption has never been pushed harder. Blue laws
are rescinded, liquor licenses have never been easier to obtain,
hard liquor ads are now on TV, yada yada.

In fact, TV is a huge influence. Ever watch Blue Bloods? Who pushed
fer this series, the Scotch industry?

BTW, I'm seeing more and more smoking in movies outta Hollywood.
What's up with that?

Actually, I have a fair amount.

No idea about motor skills but it definitely affects their ability to judge
distance and time. Both of those are necessary to drive safely.

The least harmful drug is the one you don't take.

In fact, TV is a huge influence. Ever watch Blue Bloods? Who pushed
fer this series, the Scotch industry?

What's up with that?

there have been proposals to ban smoking in movies and tv, electronically editing of old shows like i love lucy and twilight zone......
