That article is over 2 years old.
There was a follow up study. They went back down.
Happy Birthday!

ignore everything, single out something irrelevant
So my original statement was correct, no standard metabolizing rate and no standard impairment test.
legal or not, those that use it for recreational use are idiots,
ah ok how long should we expect to feel safer after states legalize? two yrs?
oh dear did i violate rules by insulting someone? < looks >. nope
“Irrelevant“… 
People actually breaking the law and driving under the influence is “irrelevant”. You are hilarious.
Assuming everyone is breaking the law is asinine.
add more smilies. look smart
As usual, you got NOTHING. End of the road for you, well except for going back to 8th grade science

Amazing, isn’t it?
Facts and context are no longer relevant. Trump is president. Truth is not truth.
I guess go drink a beer with the “smart” people. Lol.
So you didnt read it huh?
Then, in another study forthcoming in the journal Economic Inquiry , researchers used a method called “synthetic controls” to evaluate the same question of marijuana legalization and traffic deaths. Imagine that, demographically, Colorado is a mix of New Mexico and Virginia. The economists created a synthetic (hypothetical) version of Colorado to see what the state would have been like if the laws had never passed, explains study author Benjamin Hansen, an economist at the University of Oregon. “When we do that approach, what we find is that the synthetically created Colorado and synthetically created Washington see very similar trends [as the real states], both for marijuana-related fatalities and drunk-driving and overall fatalities,” Hansen says. In other words, recreational legalization probably didn’t have much of an effect on traffic fatalities. (Hansen is also an author on a previous study about how medical marijuana laws are actually associated with decreased traffic deaths.)
“RIGHT NOW, WE’RE STILL TRYING TO PLAY CATCH-UP.”
Though confusing to interpret, the studies don’t necessarily contradict each other. Lane points out that the effect his paper finds is fairly small and goes away, so it may not have been picked up in the Hansen study. Additionally, the study from the IIHS found higher rates of motor vehicle collisions, but the American Journal of Public Health article looked instead at deaths. Plenty of subtle factors can be at play. For example, even though marijuana impairs driving, it likely impairs people less than alcohol. And while people get drunk in public places and then try to drive home, we don’t yet have a culture of getting high in public and then trying to commute back.
Basicly if you look at the entire state as a whole, doesnt seem to have much of a effect either way.

No more than 5mg THC, one block of chocolate candy or one chocolate chip cookie.

It’s ironic.
There are some who see marijuana users as looking to escape feelings, get numb.
If anything, too much, which for me would be around 10mg, causes feelings that are quite the opposite of numb, intense to the point it’s scary.
Emotions come on too strong if too much is consumed. It’s said with edibles start with a low dose, and, since it takes a few hours to feel the effects this way, don’t consume more while you’re waiting.
Too much really isn’t a good thing.

As usual, wholly fail to make a cogent, rational argument, so resort to the same dumb meme as last time!
Yeah it can cause intense anxiety and paranoia, depends on the strain and person.
If you are having a bad day, it is not a way to “escape” IME.
Great news for Michigan.
Hundreds of thousands in sales on the first day, jobs, prosperity, revenue for the state, it’ll be a very happy holiday season.

Making some good progress in Missouri as well. Lots more applications for patients than expected. Should be seeing the first dispensaries getting their licenses next month, with open business by March.
[quote] The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Missouri has issued close to 22,000 medical marijuana cards in the first five months of the program.
University of Missouri researchers had predicted Missouri wouldn’t reach that many patients until 2021.
The Missouri Medical Cannabis Trade Association estimates that there could be at least 122,000 medical marijuana patients by the end of 2022. [/quote]
