With marijuana legal in 33 U.S. states, a new warning emerged about car crashes involving use of the drug. An AAA study looked back at 10 years of traffic …
this was from a google search: Fatal Car Accidents In Washington State Fatal crashes went from 508 in 2016 to 525 in 2017, resulting in the death of 555 people. This number has stayed relatively steady for the past decade. The highest number of crashes occur on Saturdays. The month of November held the highest number of crashes throughout the year. since pot is sold publicly now you would expect that the people since then might have participated…that being said if pot had anything to do with the crashes then there would be more crashes in that timer frame…the crashes are the same and so the pot had no effect on the number of crashes…the pot was present yes…the crashes would have occurred statistically with or without it ….thc stays in your system for 30 days the effect does not…
Of course more people have it in there system because it’s becoming legal? Just because someone tests positive doesn’t mean there impaired. It can show up in tests months after. They need to come out with a better testing method for roads and jobs. Just more scare tactics to keep it illegal.
Using your phone while driving seem a thousand times worse. I've actually heard some people drive better when they're high because they concentrate more on the road and want to drive perfect to not get stopped by police.
Its not the Marijuana … ITS THE FACT THAT THE ILLUMINATI MIND CONTROL OVER PEOPLE IS BRAKING DOWN , THE MIND CONTROLLED PUPPETS GLITCH OUT BECAUSE PRESSURE IS ON , PRAY TO JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE ITS THE NEPHILIM ! THERE ARE CLONES AND AI THAT ARE INHABITED BY DEMONIC SPIRITS ( Vampire type shapeshifters )
and here too https://norml.org/library/item/marijuana-and-driving-a-review-of-the-scientific-evidence... …..Nevertheless, this impairment does not appear to play a significant role in on-road traffic accidents. A 2002 review of seven separate studies involving 7,934 drivers reported, “Crash culpability studies have failed to demonstrate that drivers with cannabinoids in the blood are significantly more likely than drug-free drivers to be culpable in road crashes.”
Most of the people that are using this marijuana and driving would have used and drove BEFORE they could buy it legitimately… they just weren't getting it from legal sources….so now suddenly…they just can't drive anymore??? they were driving before so if there is an increase in accidents…could that be tourists??? unfamiliar with the new place….people away on holiday acting stupider than they would at home??? could they be drinking too??? never tried it before…no legal place to use it….
what about interpretation of statistics….. twice as likely to crash sounds bad…instead of one in 10000 it is now 2 in 10000…2 in ten thousand does not sound as bad…what are the so called numbers…how many people were surveyed… who was asking the questions… If you want your lies to fly …just turn the comments off…we will still not believe you…but you may trick some of the dumber people….. fake news…
about that ridiculous last comment: if you have 200 epileptic seizures a day and you take cannabis…it might improve your driving(being that you will not have any)…..this is an exaggerated example….pushed to the end of the scale to see the contrast…when musicians use this substance it allows them to focus on the music in an enhanced way….no one will deny that caffeine will enhance your driving too….the reason that cops will catch so many people driving and getting high is because they have been doing it for 50 years… because it was the only safe place to go sometimes… it might be the new people that are having trouble but for sure it is not the people who have been using this for the last 50 years that are crashing into things…i'd say we should study this for at least 20 years to make sure we have the facts correct before we make a decision…
how about this fact: Nationwide, 43 percent of first-year drivers and 37 percent of second-year drivers are involved in car crashes. Advanced Driver Training has reduced that rate to 4.6 percent of first-year drivers, as determined in a four-year study.
that is new people….how many people that get into crashes have NOTHING in their system???? sometimes life just sucks for no reason….can you say texting…sleepy….crazy…maybe too dumb to drive….
I will tell you what I tell everyone ….I knew dozens of people who drove marinated in the seventies ….NOW they test for it ….never worship the bogus God of statistics !…..yes they drank also and ate doritos !🥰🥰🥰🙃🙃☠️☠️
A recent poll indicates more people involved in fatal accidents are vegetarians. Does that mean vegetables are causing accidents or more people are eating vegetables?
Marijuana made me stop drinking.

There's kids..
Uughh. It's going to be legal no matter what. All we have to do is vote for it.
How many of those cases strictly involved one factor – marijuana? Did any cases involve alcohol, phones or other drugs?
These drivers are ruining it for the rest of the states for marijuana to be legal
Using your phone while driving seem a thousand times worse. I've actually heard some people drive better when they're high because they concentrate more on the road and want to drive perfect to not get stopped by police.
This is ridiculous.
Or maybe the people coming off narcotics experiencing withdrawal when the switched to cannabis is on the rise….
Alcohol does causes the same things, and it's legal in all states.
Marihuana is LSD. Its a sicko drugs.
Time to call Dominos y'all!
Stop 5G ! Its used to mind control and to manifest evil spirits because they are negative energy based beings

political bs
try this:

and this: According to a new study commissioned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, people who smoke marijuana have a minimally higher risk of crashing than those who stay sober. During a 20-month study of 10,858 drivers in Virginia Beach https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15357119/marijuana-doesnt-pose-significant-risk-in-car-crashes-nhtsa-says/

What a cliche news guy lol
I haven’t seen a PSA since I moved to New Mexico 30 years ago, Cross at the green & not in between! Would cut down on ghost bike sightings!
This isn’t your grandpas marijuana!
Yall are lieing. Stop it.

I will tell you what I tell everyone ….I knew dozens of people who drove marinated in the seventies ….NOW they test for it ….never worship the bogus God of statistics !…..yes they drank also and ate doritos !🥰🥰🥰🙃🙃☠️☠️
Their horses are pretty high.
Fake News
They must be new smokers when I first started smoking I would never drive I would walk. But its the same thing with drinking especially.
STFU
A recent poll indicates more people involved in fatal accidents are vegetarians. Does that mean vegetables are causing accidents or more people are eating vegetables?
