I am in total agreement with you about Alchohol the laws need to be tougher, I mean how many get into major DUI incidents all of the time. There are very few who know how to drink responsible anymore these days. Statistics or no statistics it still lowers your self-esteem and it really can turn into a serious addiction. | That is a good point.
Last night I was at a late party with my friends and I ended up driving home with my cousin at 4am. On the highway, I saw a car ahead swerving from the far left lane to the far right lane..then hitting the brakes randomly. I knew this guy was drunk out of his mind...I should have called the cops but I didn't. I really don't even know if that guy could of made it home driving like that..
Now if someone smoked a good amount of pot, I'm sure that at 4am they would not be swerving out of control. Actually, I saw a video online of someone who volunteered to smoke a lot of pot so they can observe his driving habits, before and after. I believe he was going slower, and trying to be more careful when he was high. Now if you do the same test but with alcohol, clearly the effects are going to be different, and worse in the case of alcohol. So why isn't pot legal??
Well it seems that HotShotGG was right on the money. |
