14. ASbsolute false equivalancy there. being Stoned is NOTHING

like being drunk and for you to make that comparison is absolutely dumb and, really, if that is what you think then you have no purpose in this conversation. Only ONE drug does what alcohol does and that is alcohol. Pot does not impair your coordination, force you to make poor decisions (Well I did see Kiss (without the makeup) while i was stoned)..

I will drive with anyone loaded but won't drive with anyone that has a few beers.

It does make kids, especially young males, better drivers. they slow down and are more attentive.

it def makes me a better driver. I have driven at least a million miles in my lifetime and the only accident i had in the past 40 years I was straight as rain. I know it calms me down and makes me more aware of my surrounding. I am also less aggressive.
