• Stoners Are 'Safer' Drivers Than Lushes

According to the first study, drivers with a BAC of 0.08 are 400% more likely to crash their vehicles than a sober person, KUSA-TV reports.

 

However, drivers who test positive for THC—the mind-altering ingredient in pot—are only 25% more likely to crash, which drops to just 5% once age, gender, and other factors are accounted for.

 

 

 

How can this be true? With the strength of Marijuana these days doesn't it make it difficult to concentrate and not stare for long periods?

 

Anybody have any input on this?

So we're saying it's safer to get kicked in the nuts by someone wearing Birkenstocks than by someone wearing steel toes? Good to know.

"drivers who test positive for THC"

 

THC can stay in the system for weeks.  It doesn't mean these people were high and driving.  That little detail can skew the results.

That's because they are all stuck in the drive through searching every part of the car for change for those 99 cent tacos.

The most annoying part of the marijuana debate is the claim that driving while under the influence of weed is perfectly safe.

[mtangelsfan]

Of course they are safer, they need to safely get to the 7-11 to get their munchies and then get safely home to eat them.

 

No brainer man.

I am not surprised however I hate when articles come out like this.  Both are stupid and dangerous.

And the survey says.....texting and driving is the winner!!!

I'm more concerned that people are still using the word "lush" in 2015

Stoners and Drunks are safer than this guy.

In my prison there is a woman who was driving under the influence of Marijuana who plowed through a median and killed a group of teenagers cleaning up litter along the highway.

• Marijuana about 114 times less deadly than alcohol, study says

[Redondo]

Is Marijuana Safe? It's More Complicated Than You Think

There are at least 10 drugs that are more deadly than marijuana, including some that are legal, such as alcohol and nicotine, a new study by researchers in Germany and Canada finds. In fact, drinking alcohol — the deadliest drug on the list — is about 100 times more dangerous than using marijuana,…

 

[Blarg]

So Marijuana is one of the top ten deadliest drugs? Doesn't sound safe at all.
