Once again, who ever said that?
Like I said. Anyone who thinks that smoking dope doesn't increase your chance of a fatal accident is, well, smoking dope. Astoundingly, many dope smokers think it actually improves their driving. It also appears I underestimated the ignorance of the non-using public. 23% of these people who don;t smoke also believe MJ doesn't impair driving. Which means even the non-smoking public is misinformed. If they knew the truth, more would be opposed to legalization. Unfortunately, the biased press who wants it legalized is not providing accurate information. Fake news again. The ignorant public doesn't understand the true dangers of MJ and driving.
From Washington State Report April 2018 - Washington Traffic Safety Commission see pg 2. The whole report is pretty dire.
o 39.1 percent of drivers who have used marijuana in the previous year admit to driving
within three hours of marijuana use. This is similar to the results from Washington’s
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (33.5 percent).
o More than half (53 percent) of drivers ages 15-20 believe marijuana use made their
driving better. This is a significantly higher rate than drivers ages 21-25 (13.7 percent)
and drivers ages 26-35 (17.4 percent).
o Among drivers who have used marijuana in the past year, only 36.6 percent believe that
it is very likely or likely that marijuana impairs a person’s ability to drive safely if used
within two hours of driving, compared to 77 percent of drivers who have not used
marijuana in the previous year.
