Reply to comment by ihaveatrophywife in The Granite State Starts to Crack? - New Hampshire Legislators Introduce Bipartisan Cannabis Legalization Bill by CurtD34

I still don't think that affects you at all... you'll get used to the smoke smell just as you did cigarettes, it barely smells and goes away quick. People are going to drive high whether it's legal or not, and I hate to say it but they drive fine. If it was legal they would probably smoke it once they get to their destination more often than when driving too. That's just the best place to smoke and not get caught.

It’s been proven that it slows reaction time and impairs judgement so how does that mean people drive fine? To be fair, road safety is something I take more seriously than most. You can very easily kill people with a car. Any distraction or intoxicant increases that risk.

I'm pro legalizing weed but I agree that people should take driving stoned just as seriously as driving drunk.

Driving tired is another one we kind of just ignore, too.

I assume you're also against alcohol for this reason?

Alcohol is much more easily enforceable (can tell how much alcohol is in someone’s system) and there is a stigma against driving under the influence of alcohol. Meanwhile, there is a cultural norm of driving under the influence of marijuana.
