    Gotta agree with jheyson. I am not a smoker myself, so its not possible for me to criticize driving ability while affected by pot. However, I, like jheyson, have riden in the car with people stoned, and also followed stoned/drunk friends home.

    Hecka, not arguing with your evaluation that it is usually safer for a stoned person to drive than a drunk person. But i would much rather not choose between two evils if given the choice. Why should we be comparing which one is 'less impairing'? If it impairs your driving ability you should not be on public roads, flat out.

    I have absolutely no quams with anyone smoking weed on their own time and place, doesnt affect me. However, it does affect me when people start driving around impaired. At that point it should be punished to the same level as any impairment; alcohol, drugs, texting, distracted driving, tired driving.

    Just my $.02. All I know for sure is I dont want people driving around looking up into the sky looking for UFO's because they are stoned

    No one in this thread has disagreed with any point you made Bro...

    No one want's to share the road with those who are impaired...

    But the comparison of behaviors...weed vs alcohol...IS germane, IMO, to the topic at hand, which is: legalization.
