12. Why no driving? Its not alchohol.
Alcohol affects the central nervous system and motor coordination; it makes sense that drinking and driving is illegal. Pot does not affect driving, except perhaps to make one drive more slowly and more carefully. And because pot lasts 30 days in the system and can be detected, you might as well say no driving at all within 30 days of smoking.

If you are going to be consistent, then there should be no driving while on any prescription medication, or driving while smoking cigarettes.

Pot is not alcohol, and it shouldn't be compared to it.
