Once again the topic is about the STUDY in the OP and how it has no validity, do you have anything on that subject or no?

So far the study has been proven to be complete crap and there hasnt been anything posted that supports it. DO you have anything that changes the fact the OP/Study is a complete failure?

Damn -- my apologies -- I thought we were supposed to discuss the issues .... I didn't realize these are good ol' 4th grade pissin' contests.

Scratch any intelligent commentary ... go back to spraying the schoolyard.

Pot problems in Colorado schools increase with legalization Read more: Pot problems

GRAND JUNCTION — In two years of work as an undercover officer with a drug task force, Mike Dillon encountered plenty of drugs. But nothing has surprised him as much as what he has seen in schools lately.

Dillon, who is now a school resource officer with the Mesa County Sheriff's Department, said he is seeing more and younger kids bringing marijuana to schools, in sometimes-surprising quantities.

"When we have middle school kids show up with a half an ounce, that is shocking to me," Dillon said.

The same phenomenon is being reported around Colorado after the 2010 regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries and the 2012 vote to legalize recreational marijuana.

Ive made no assumptions, many posters including myself only pointed out the fact that the OP/STUDY has been destroyed, debunked and is a complete failure.

DO you have any facts the support it and make the study meaningful in the way it was presented?

LoL, you're an ass. The point I was making is that pot never caused any real problems for me. With everything else I did there were significant consequences which made quitting a very good decision. Other than driving stoned or trying to do anything important stoned, what could possibly be bad about it? Its far tamer than alcohol in every way and there is very little scientific evidence it presents much risk at all. The "brain damage" claims are unsupported hysteria.

You know what's not there, whether or not marijuana had anything to do with the crash. Pot says in your system a long time, you could have smoked last week and you'll still test positive. But if you got in a wreck a week after you smoked weed, weed had nothing to do with the accident even though you'll still test positive.

So not a lot of actual information here, just paranoia and hysteria.

Ya know--surprisingly enough--that information is left out of drunk driving stats, too.

The problem is that like drunk drivers, those who drive while impaired by other drugs tend not to just kill themselves; but others who have the misfortune to be in their path.

In fact, one thing about drunk drivers is probably also true about marijuana-impaired drivers, is that due to a more relaxed state, they are more likely to survive the collision that they caused, than others who are victims of that same collision.

If they only ended up killing themselves, then I could accept it as improving the human gene pool through natural selection.

I agree, this is why i want any facts that support the failed OP/study

and I also want the logical questions that were asked answered, since they debunk the presentation of the study and prove it worthless.

The study doesnt prove anything except more people had weed in thier system :shrug:

anything else is a PURE GUESS lol

Colorado Law Enforcement Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)

• Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) are law enforcement officers who are highly trained to recognize
impairment in drivers under the influence of drugs, and to identify which category of drug is causing
the impairment.
• The number of certified DREs has risen from 86 in 2005 to 173 as of July 1, 2011. There are expected to
be over 190 DREs statewide by the end of 2011.
• From 2005 to 2010, the number of evaluations conducted by DREs each year has nearly doubled, from
465 (2005) to 910 (2010).
o 2005 – 465
o 2006 – 511
o 2007 – 668
o 2008 – 729
o 2009 – 810
o 2010 -- 910
• On average, between 2005 and 2010, roughly 58% of all DRE evaluations came up with a result of
marijuana as a drug involved.
• From 2009 (391) to 2010 (599), there was a 35% increase in the number of DRE evaluation that came
up with a result of marijuana as a drug involved.

Yeah, unfortunately, druggies could care less about others just like alcholics. Even Serious drug dealers know better than to use.
 
Re: Study: Fatal Car Crashes Involving Marijuana Have Tripled

Poor AJ, he failed to get the memo:

 Colorado’s Fatal Crashes Involving THC Increased 148%.

Between 2006 and 2011, 240 people were killed in Colorado in crashes where the driver tested positive for THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The number of fatalities with drivers under the influence of marijuana has increased over the years, while state-wide fatal crashes have decreased.

In Colorado during the five-year period, 2006 to 2011, fatal crashes involving THC increased 148%.

THC Total State Percent
Fatal Crashes Fatal Crashes THC
Year
2006 21 721 2.9%
2007 23 789 2.9%
2008 31 712 4.4%
2009 37 653 5.7%
2010 42 600 7%
2011 52 587 8.9%

That's the best you got, really? Sorry, but your links are sorry to say the least especially when dealing with pot. Try again, your posts are amateur.

The problem is you LIKE alcohol and refuse to see the similarities with YOUR drug of choice.
