I hate to break it to you but there have been a lot of people driving
under the influence of pot for close to 50 years, and it has never been
the problem that alcohol is, and is not as bad as cell phones and
texting. Meanwhile, we have people zonked on prescription medication,
antihistamines, pain killers, cold medication and from the effects of
old age, illness. Heck, if we can hook up a car to be driven by a
person in a wheel chair and under the influence of variety of
medications, how serious are we about impairment in general?
