Drunk driving is generally much more dangerous than stoned driving. Drunks tend to grossly overestimate their abilities which leads to the inevitable. The opposite usually applies after having a sesh.
There's still too many lulz to be had from this thread to kill it.
What country doesn't?
The one with the cup was better.
QFT Swim has found when his system is free of cannabis, he drives a little faster. His speed only goes up on average maybe 3-5km/hr, but he also finds himself drawn into minor competitive behaviours with other motorists, whereas as a stoner, swim travels slower and safer. Swim said he always waits a while after having a sheesh, before driving, but heavy stoners are used to the effects of cannabis...... and in a manner quite opposite to alcohol in a very important way.............heavy stoners are used to the effects and can drive sooner....... and safer............than a non stoner or newbie.
Bit like giving half a beer to a tee totaller with a nervous dispostion.
Swim said he has seen non cannabis users need to retreat to the bedroom after a couple of light tokes
Swim's mate at the old cannabis club used to smoke 3 grams a day of primo bud, function reasonably quite well, but he was a very big man
Whether it be true or not, forget going down that path. For there to be any hope of seeing a change in the law there will be nothing to be gained from trying to convince anyone that stoned drivers are better than pissed drivers.
Impairment should be treated as impairment - prescription drugs included.
Possibly about 70 pages ago.
Sleepy drivers are worse than all the above. Half the issue with the drunk or drugged is that it makes them sleepy. The first half of Katman's last sentence sums it up except I would include sleepiness and anger, even being zoned out, as things that are often not considered as impairments.

I have to agree there, anger has a far greater effect on my driving than being stoned (back when I was a heavy user) when angry I tend to speed (more) take a few risks and become quite competitive, although the act of driving tends to calm me down too, but so does the act of smoking weed.
I read a study the other day, it was done in France it can be found on the California norml website (links are a bitch when you use a phone to post), to do with drug and alcohol impared drivers and crash rates, the upshot was that alcohol increases risk of a crash by between 300 and 4000 percent, whereas cannabis increases the risk between 160 and 300 percent, even so, for the purpose of enforcing the laws the rules should be similar between the two. Whatever happened to the saliva swabs they were trialing in Australia, they might be appropriate here, or I would be happy to submit to American style roadside impairment tests

Ed, what if I went to California and get a prescription for weed. Would you be ok with it then?
