Oh, I agree. The people who act like smoking weed makes them BETTER drivers or that its okay are arguing an idiotic argument and generally are ones I dismiss. However you were responding to Hautey, who wasn't advocating it, when he was talking about the legality of it.
You do understand, at this point I am walking a 6a line here, and Can not respond to this appropriately other than to say, I can show you via pm, where he more than "Advocated it".
What does the fact that Weed smokers do it now have to do with it being illegal now and likely illegal afterwards?
I am not sure I was making that argument. What is it you think I responded to and what position did you think hautey had?
I thought my response to him made my position clear. That some who smoke weed, think it has no effect on thier driving, so much so they would risk others in thier activities.
Making it legal, would not change the illegal behavior of driving high.
You get called on your comment and then say something alone the lines "of well of course other things are bad too" but the way you post and the way you're talking about it you're making it out as if you believe that somehow heavy Weed smokers are this strange minority which are the only ones stupid enough to do something dumb like driving while impaired in some way, when they're just one in a long line of people.
Come on zyph, please re-read my posts. I think, and I have stated numerous times that all the things mentioned are bad. I am simply being topical here.
I have started threads on almost being killed by a cop on a cell phone.
I have also made my position clear in threads by aps I think about drunk drivers.
I have also discussed my positions on cell phones, books, makeup and driving.
And in none of those do I mention weed. Does that mean I held the opposite of your contention in those threads?
Again, I have a true hatred of idiot drivers and the varying tools they use to try to kill me. I hope this and my other posts including my legal seafood anecdotal puts to rest your notion that I think weed smokers are a special breed of idiots... .
Anyway, since this topic is weed:
I will say this though, The ones i have described, the ones who make weed thier lives, This is from my experience true, from relatives, to growing up in the VT, Colorado Snowboarding culture. There are those who make what they are doing, whether its snowboarding, riding a motorcycle, skiing, driving, taking care of thier child, to anything else that they do. To them it is ABOUT the weed first as a life crutch.
I find it a pathetic existence, and yes, That goes for drunks as well. but this topic is weed.
