I was an all-day pothead for 16 years with hundreds of thousands of miles behind the wheel. I had zero at-fault accidents and 2 speeding tickets during that time. I find it hard to support regulating something like THC or other metabolite threshold testing because I feel like it completely ignores the overall relationship to impairment.
Driving with an anger management issue is a much more serious problem in my experience. Why don't we test for that?
- cortesoft 7y agoThis really means nothing. There are people who drive drunk all the time who can say the same, but that doesn’t mean it is not dangerous.
- jjulius 7y agoI foolishly drove drunk home from shows, clubs and restaurants for about five years, and I mean drunk. Never had an accident, never got pulled over. I'm sober now and completely regret that and realize how dangerous it was. Just because you and I were capable of getting home safely does NOT mean that everyone else is. You cannot use anecdotal experiences to support this kind of argument. Edit: I'm also an all-day pothead (yeah, I've obviously got my vices...) and I don't trust everyone to be able to react quickly or remain focused or not get paranoid when they're stoned and driving.
