Smoking marijuana barely affects driving performance.
Researchers from Hartford Hospital in Connecticut and the University of Iowa had 85 subjects participate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial where they were tested on a driving simulator before and 30 minutes after smoking a marijuana cigarette.
The researchers found there were no differences between the performance of marijuana smokers and those who were given a placebo in either the simulator’s baseline driving segment or its collision-avoidance scenarios. In fact, the only difference between the two groups was that the subjects who got the real stuff were more likely to decrease their speed during certain parts of the simulation.
Nevertheless, this study didn’t address the vicious way marijuana smokers have been known to attack their roommates’ bottles of Nuttella. Which is the real reason why the ancient herb must remain illegal.

Regardless of any scientific evidence.. the police now have the authority to demand drug impairment tests, if they ‘suspect’ that a person who has pass the alcohol test ‘appear’ to be under the influence of ‘other drugs’..
The problem being that traces of cannabis in the blood, is not evidence that a driver is ‘high’.. its stays in the blood stream for days/weeks after the effect has worn off !!
But try telling that to anyone who supports a blanket prohibition on any drug besides Alcohol or Tobacco.. “BOOOO”
