Come up with a "ganja breathalyzer" and you're a lot closer to seeing legalization IMO.

At the risk of shattering all that you (By the way "you" does not equal scottthorn, "you" is collective.) have been told to believe, and making you mad at me...... um..... there's no need. If you're too messed up to drive because you've been tokin' the ganja, then you need idiot intervention, not a curbside "ganjalyzer". Sure it makes you relaxed and giggly, but please don't let the government's "facts" get in your way, taking a toke doesn't make you go drive like a cock and kill people.

In fact, every person I've ever seen drive while high? Yeah. That's right. They drove better than they do sober. They followed every speed limit and signalled every turn.

Just $0.02 for your change bucket, I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed like hell now. (By the way "you" does not equal scottthorn, "you" is collective.)

The theory is that those high on marijuana are more aware of their impairment and compensate by driving more carefully. That brings up an interesting point. People don't smoke dope and get into barfights. Pot makes people quiet and sedate.

But as I said earlier, Scotthorn, that doesn't make sense. It uses a supposition that by making marijuana illegal nobody is actually using it. We know that's not true so we need a road side ganjalizer ANYWAY, no matter the legal state of the substance because people will, and are, using it anyway. It's easier to experiment with it if it's legal!

You don't have to; it soaks in by itself.

CEMaine, that wasn't meant to offend. I know many people who partake in cannibis who are fine upstanding citizens. It was more of a dig at polititions who make decisions based on what gets them re-elected vs. what is the right thing to do.

It is political suicide to say you are for legalizing pot. I vote libertarian whenever I can!
