Well the report probably didnt tell the
circumstances of the wreck... was it
raining? snowing? And if HIS car was
split into two pieces it really makes me
think that it wasn't his fault...
especially if the pieces landed 80ft
apart... To t-bone someone and have their
car in 2 pieces 80 ft apart means they
were going pretty damn fast...
So even if this story is true and it was
the drivers fault then this is what i can
conclude.
Deaths caused by Marijuana a year = 1
Deaths caused by alcohol a year =
300,000+
Sorry but im convinced that your story is
A. Bullcrap
B. an exaggeration
Or C. We dont have all the facts.
And where i live, you can get pulled over
on LSD and even if the officer knows it
they can't do a thing about it unless you
posses the drug on your body. So until
its illegal to drive when under the
influence of marijuana i'll keep doing
it... i have been driving high for about 4
yrs and have not been in a wreck... i
haven't even come close.
I haven't ever even had a ticket. I think
you are right, the story smacks of
propaganda B.S. even if it wasn't made up
by the person who posted it...it just
doesn't ring true.

Driving is dangerous period, and accidents
do happen. What if smoking pot was not
the main cause of the accident? People do
have just.. accidents. I don't care what
studies say, there is a huge difference
between smoking and drinking while
driving. You will not know, until you
have experianced both.
Cell phones, heavy affection from a lover,
finding the right CD, or a spider on your
arm can all raise your risk of an
accident.
I am being biased here, but only because I
have experianced both in my early years.
Driving while drunk is scary, once you
realize it. I have to say that your
chances of an accident are very high.
Driving while high, has a very low risk
compared to being drunk, or even buzzed on
alcohol.
I would never suggest doing either thing
while driving. I don't even answer my
cell anymore.
