Marijuana CAN Kill People

6. Mary Jane is in the process of being legalized here in Canada

And now we are getting a lot of conservative reefer madness ads on radio and TV. A lot of it smoking underage, and driving while high alarmist ads. What I fear now is the police will feel compelled to develop a roadside pot test. And that limit will be so arbitrary and conservative. Now I'm not for driving while blasted, but study after study, even by our own Canadian Senate, has shown that smoking a low/moderate amount, without alcohol, has a neglectable impact. What it boils down to basically is that driving TOO cautiously, (perhaps because you are more paranoid) is way less dangerous than driving too reckless (because of the false sense of bravado that alcohol brings).

But I can see them developing something where if you only had a puff or two in the hours before driving you will be deemed "impaired", costing you thousands and higher insurance, and maybe even your license. I'd have preferred it be kept technically illegal as it is now, with cops just looking for alcohol and if they find any dope, they just confiscate it, as it would tie up the courts too much for every nickel and dime possession charge.
