Driver accused of crashing into marijuana dispensary while high on marijuana

An 18-year-old man was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of driving while high on marijuana after he crashed into a marijuana dispensary in Happy Valley.

Alan Alcantara hit an empty parked car near Stumptown Cannabis on Southeast 82nd Avenue around 1:05 a.m. and then crashed into the back wall of the business, according to a probable cause affidavit. He caused more than $1,000 in damages to the other car and the building, court papers said.

So for every 5000 drunks that hit buildings, one guy does while high.

I just voted to legalize in my state, free up some jail cells, give some policemen some time off to eat doughnuts....

Can you spot the nonsensical use of statistics in your link ?

Regardless - even if the article was not a bunch of nonsense, this still would not change the fact that alcohol and pot are not even close to similar with respect to driving.

I say so is not an argument. Which seems to be your only argument here.
so you concede the point.

I did not say I had refuted anything. You need to upgrade your reading comprehension. I have not made any arguments yet in relation to my claim ... and nether have you.

Have you ever smoked pot ?

Actually unlike you I posted an article that supports me.
All you have is I say so. That isn't an argument.

Sorry I don't involve myself with that stuff. I value my life family and job
A lot more than sitting around getting high. It has no benefit.

I concede only that trying to talk sense to someone who will deny the sky is blue is foolish.

So far you haven't refuted anything. you are simply attempting to say your opinion is fact.
Driving while high is just as much of a risk as driving impaired in general.

Sorry bub, but you are wrong. Driving under the influence encompasses a wide range of stupidity, pot only being one of those. Dumbos who use pot and drive are having more accidents and receiving more citations than ever....in Colorado and Oregon. IMO, legalizing pot is dumb.

It's all about the money for the states and endangers people's lives even more.

In addition to that, there have been many armed robberies, assaults and murders, related to pot growers, just in the greater Portland area. Use of drugs, just to get high, is nuts.

It merely underlines the stupidity of intoxication and how marijuana is just as bad an impairment as booze. Making this crap legal, is as stupid as it gets!

Then let's get rid of booze.....Wait, we already tried that one, and it created Al Capone.
