There's a difference between recreational use and driving under the influence.


I haven’t met someone who knows that yet.


You haven't noticed meeting the ones who do.


But statistically the number of people who don’t know is enough to cause untold despair, injury, death and sadness. So fuck anyone for having the self propelled arrogance to make that decision on behalf of victims.


Right, because anybody who consumes cannabis must be doing it all the time and willing to drive under the influence.


Some do. The guy who left his car upside down in my front garden after rolling the car through my fence ended up being prosecuted for it.


Good. I'm not condoning driving while the influence but why should we put the occasional, the one puffer before going to bed or the responsible pot smoker in the same box with the irresponsible abusers?


Or some kids crossing a street.


Rationality has left the building.


Why don't you want to think of the children?


How about not feeding children with junk food at school cafeterias? How about providing them with real education rather than learning to pass tests? How about not priming and bombarding children with advertising? The list goes on, there's a lot of work to do.


Why don’t you want to think of the most realistic risks to children, but choose to perpetrate stereotypes and myths based on 19th century racist propaganda?



I was continuing the facetiousness :/


It's a good thing they screen applicants to make sure none of them have used alcohol in the last month. Imagine -- hiring someone who drinks alcohol for a driving job. The irresponsibility would be truly unthinkable.
