Nearly half of drivers killed in crashes had THC in their blood...

[QuickBpBp]

It’s all part of the master plan. A dumbed down and high populace are easier to control.

Not only this but many move on to harder drugs and I can’t say much more than that here in the general forum…

the wild thing is that now that they are doing studies on THC/weed, they are seeing its not as good for you as they legalize folks wanted you to believe for decades. there was just no science either way before recently.

apparently Colorado has had a huge issue with it. its the cause of and involved in something like 80% of all traffic accidents.

The same kind that can easily be duped into climbing rooftops attacking random citizens, yep....

Not only that, if nearly half of them are self-offing themselves, then that also fits neatly into some
Gates-named fellas' world view of reducing the world's population by several billion.

Maybe the stoners are the ones texting. Just sayin'.

Maybe the stoners are the ones texting. Just sayin'.

Maybe stoners who text are is a special group that somehow seem to represent 75% of the drivers on the road here in California... Throw in a drivers license with no name and the lack of driving skills here in this state are very understandable... Not acceptable.... But understandable...

Could you cite some sources on that please?

THC can typically be detected in the blood for about 1 to 2 days after use, while alcohol usually remains detectable for only about 10 to 12 hours. However, heavy or chronic use of THC can extend its presence in the blood for up to 25 days, long after the affects have worn off.

 

[icetech]

From that article
" The rate of drivers who tested positive for THC did not change significantly before or after legalization (42.1% vs. 45.2%), indicating that legal status did not influence the behavior of those who chose to drive after use. "

This is awesome news, it shows that making it illegal had no positive effect (as far as driving is concerned) at all. Just wasted billions and billions on legal **** that never needed to happen.

I have never driven buzzed and wouldn't... or been with someone who does (since highschool)

One thing i find funny bout this is that guys that will act like weed is some horrible thing will go out and drunk drive or have DUIs and act like it's nothing

One last thing... Sanjay Gupta went into do this story thinking it was all BS.. you can see how he changes by the end.. it's a pretty good watch... Helped Charlotte soo much...

Charlottes web story.

health affects? here you go: this is just one of them.

Whether It’s Smoking or Edibles, Marijuana Is Bad for Your Heart

That's not what you said..... the legalize it people didn't say it makes you healthy.. and just like anything if you do too much it will harm you.. you can literally die from drinking too much water.. (hyponatremia)

The legalize people (for medical mostly) put forward that it helps with a lot of issues especially in cancer patients and people with other medical problems with appetite or pain issues. As for recreational... no one in their right mind thinks ingesting smoke in any form is actually good for you I haven't see a single new study that has said something new about the risks of it though.

No science recently either way is not correct.. here is an article from 2001 that the says the same basically as the one you posted.. the risks/rewards have been known for decades already..

P.S. not rally arguing.. just bored at work I don't get how some people can put alcohol in their bodies.. to me that is insanity...

[j-c-c-62]

Not even surprised.. The. other half probably have licenses issued by California with "No Name Given"

"Not Sure" has been replaced?

 

[j-c-c-62]

This comes as sort of a surprise to me, I admit:
Nearly half of drivers killed in crashes had THC in their blood

Perhaps I've been a bit naive ?

Naive like many here falling for click bait agenda, being:
1. Correlation does not mean causation
2. For a real "Science Daily" organization I should not even have to mention that
3. They fail to mention any other possible and likely intoxicants found in testing like cocaine, alcohol, meth, Oxy, etc.
4. They don't mention cause of the accident, speed, road rage, weather, etc
5. They don't mention whether the THC driver was the at fault driver.
6. They don't mention whether the deceased were wearing their seat belts

It's been my experience drivers inhibited by the effects of THC only are not prone to speeding, road rage, aggressive driving, etc although of course they still can be dangerous, but to a possible lesser degree.

Common Definition of propaganda is the intentional use of SELECTIVE facts to sway, alter or change another's position, belief, or standing on a topic being discussed for the benefit of the author's agenda and not to inform or widen the discussion.
Propaganda subtly insults the intelligence of the listener.
I think I have made my point.

Actually, the THC stays in your system for far longer than has been suggested here. It stays in one's hair for over 2 weeks, even though a piss test says otherwise. Now, for testing purposes, one can be tested by their hair, and nails, as the THC bonds to the human proteins and will linger there for quite some time. My generation smoked weed routinely, and I did so when a lot younger. But when I decided to return to the USAF, I decided that my career was way more important than ruining it by smoking it. Most of my fellow service members were drinkers, so that became the norm for us after a stressful, long day. After I retired, I started to smoke it again and found that it wasn't like the old days, as it was way too powerful and the highs were hard to manage. Plus, the ever-present "MUNCHIES" put some unwanted pounds on this ol' frame. Add to that, being diagnosed with COPD and Asthma, and my exposure to the burn pits in Iraq, my lungs couldn't take smoking anything to include tobacco. So I no longer smoke nor take any edibles as it just ain't worth it to do so. So now I have basically no opinion on the subject because I really don't care what others may want to do and keep my head on a swivel when driving for just in case...cr8ccrshr/Bill

I went bout 20 years without myself... just got bored.. but i use it to relax now and helps with my drumming and peace of mind.. I have asthma, i use a vaporizer (not the "Vape" pen things) a real one that doesn't burn but vaporizes so it doens't make me cough my guts out.. I agree about too strong.. i grow my own (so i know what's in it.. no pesticides and ****) and some is insane.. some is nice and easy like it should be..

you are talking about the medical advocacy teams, and that is something different.


but my whole life, those who argued for "legalize it" were always toting, its from the earth, it cant hurt you, its natural, and so on.

alcohol is bad for you. no doubt. its not an either or thing. its just the truth.

Thank you. Points 1 through 6 are the most important as well as every other single word you wrote.
And the last paragraph BANG ON. The main reason many people here cannot watch certain types of news outlets.
