Marijuana's risk to drivers debated

[Bennyboy]

44. It helps me drive, quite simply....

I drive a LOT and always have and been stoned for at least 90% of the driving I have done. Like 200 miles a day, for forty years..... No accidents since I was 18 but one (that one I was totally straight at the time and had been for thirty days (Job test)....damned traffic circle.

It calms me down, makes me more aware and better for concentrating on the job of driving. I am also way more courteous, less likely to speed, tailgate and more likely to use the cruise control. I also never talk on the phone nor eat while driving. Because that is dangerous.

I damn sure know it is better for me than any other thing I could take for pain and less likely I am to abuse it (I use for chronic pain) by taking more than my usual dose. I take no prescription drugs and I ahve carpal tunnel and bad shoulders that the pain is so bad that if I did not puff I would be taking Oxys......
