you'd have noted my objection was that alcohol was not eliminated as a co factor. That's critical thinking. Accepting a small study from one state at face value is not.

Why do the anti pot people never object to this? It's a dishonest study from one state on top of other dishonest studies that never considered anything but a positive result to cannabinoids.

Pot is likely to make drunks worse. However, the major problem is the alcohol.

In the meantime, to aid your own progress toward critical thinking, I offer the following: "Thus, there is evidence that subjects in the marijuana group were not only aware of their intoxicated condition, but were also attempting to compensate for it. These seem to be important findings. They support both the common belief that drivers become overconfident after drinking alcohol and investigators' suspicions that they become more cautious and self- critical after consuming low doses of THC, as smoked marijuana.
