What did people expect when they passed the legalization of marijuana along with the lack of prosecuting those who get caught using while driving. I smell the use of marijuana while driving on our road ways two-fold. On a recent road trip I noticed people parked at gas stations taking a marijuana break after gassing up (at least their not smoking an driving lol). People who voted for this are to blame. We had enough airheads walking the streets but now it has become disgusting.
You are correct. People used to be drunk and drive now they are either high and drive, drunk and drive or both. We expect the police to catch and prosecute but the courts let the offenders go.
Ahahahaha blame it on weeed when the last time someone died from smoking weed LET ME KNOW ol SMART ONE
Lmao… its not legal until July. And believe me alchohol and opiods on the road is what you need to worry about not MJ. I use to be on pain meds still should be but I have no intestines. They expected me to drive on morphine N oxy UMMM NO WAY. INSTEAD of being glad that I was responsible they were upset I didn’t take them all day.
There are a lot of dumb posts on this site. This one has been placed in the running for dumbest of 2023. I don’t understand why people insist on showcasing their lack of knowledge and functional illiteracy for everyone to see.
The increased use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle. The law is toothless and not being enforced. People don’t take the law seriously. Even teenagers that are not supposed to be using them at
all, are not afraid of being caught. I also smell marijuana coming from cars while driving all the time.
