Your "Legal weed in Leftpondia has been proven to reduce drink and drug driving" was that "justification. None of the above. The FACT that legal weed reduces both drink and drug driving was not my justification, it is just one of the positive side effects. Why are you so vehemently opposed to legal weed in the UK? Do you drink alcohol? I pointed out that boith are risky and that there is no (good) reason for taking your uninformed line. I seem to be more informed on this subject than you. Like you I was brainwashed as a child to believe 'Drugs Are Evil'. As an adult I have done my research and formed my own opinion. You either didn't see that point or you pretended that you didn't see it. One of those has to be true. There are no other explanations for the content of your replies. Let me know when you are prepared to have an ADULT discussion. Let the world know when you are going to stop asking for "the point" after it has been explained to you. Legal weed in the US has led to a reduction in both drink and drug driving. Prove it. Do your own research. The data are out there. So, once again, what was your point? What... OTHER than the fact that you are talking out of the wrong orifice, you mean? More childish insults. |

Ah, of course - if our lords and masters have decided to make something illegal it must be wrong. And your point? It's obviously too complicated for you, but for a normal person ought to be more obvious: there is no gain in swapping drunk drivers for drugged drivers. Even you ought to be able to work out why. I have never knowingly taken cannabis products (does this mean I don't qualify as a normal person?). No doubt you can explain why there is no gain in swapping drunk drivers for drugged drivers. |

Smoking weed gives an almost immediate high so you cannot overdose because you will pass out long before you get a lethal dose. Alcohol has a delayed effect and you can overdose before you know it. |

Nothing makes me certain of that. But *you* insisted that legalising illegal drugs reduces the incidence of drink-driving. *You* are saying that there is a connection between the two, and that connection can only be people moving from drink-driving to drug-driving. Well, unles the drugs so incapacitate its victims that they can't find their keys. No one is proposing Weed Bars where you can go and get high then drive home, as happens with alcohol.
