How would you get home from this place, drive a car?
Just what we need more stoned drivers on our roads.
Hey how bout if we had designated drivers? That would work. Oh wait, no it doesn't. I know, why don't we make it illegal to have parking lots for bars, weed or alchohol? Maybe we would cut down on the "I only had a couple of beers and murdered a family of three on my way home" drivers out there.
If I had to choose, as an EMT, I would much rather have my
friends drive home with someone who has smoked weed as opposed to someone who has had a few beers. Legalities a side, it's much easier to get someone out of jail as opposed to the morgue. But then again, I know and have experienced both substances!
No offense Scott, but really it's uninformed attitudes that keep millions of dollars of OUR money going to black hole projects like Green Harvest to fight a harmless substance. While serious problem drugs like heroin, crak and meth get left unchecked for the most part.
In all my days as a medic and a stretcher fetcher (driver) whether in the city (Dallas) or in the country I've never walked onto a bad wreck/scene where the people were smoking weed and caused the accident. On the other hand, I can't count the times I've responded to an accident that was the cause of a drunk or a tweaker.
I know I know... It's illegal so you shouldn't do it. And I agree with you BUT as long as beer is legal weed shouln't be considered any worse. There's no meritt to Hypocrisy in any society.
Blessings,
