Recreational Marijuana Going Legal in Michigan

lol

“explicitly does not show…”

there is a correlation. moore didnt state that was caused by high drivers because that was outside the scope of the research

there is a strong correlation, given Co had the highest increase and had it legal the longest in contrast to other states where it was legal but for not as long

unless you got a way to show the increase was definitively not caused by rec pot influence, you’re nothing but shutters trying to bang out your narrative in the wind, as usual

No link to what? All I did was cite your article, and it doesn’t state what you claim it does.

Good question. The study you cited in the CNBC article does not prove causation. As I already ask, do correlation/causation need to be explained to you?

yes, i believe pothead lefties (aka “libertarians”) dont think their driving is impaired while high.

that’s purdy obvious

Thanks for finally admitting that the study you linked does not prove what you tried to use it to prove.

Correlation is not proof. Next!

That’s literally not now scientific research works. You made a claim, and you provided a study that does not prove what you claim it does.

Try again.

I asked for you to cite someone who doesn’t believe their driving is impaired while high. You replied with “I do.” and that you were the source. That leads one to believe you are a pothead leftie (aka "libertarian) who doesn’t believe that driving high impairs you.

So, can you cite people who don’t believe that driving high impairs you?

that is exactly how science works. lol

you find (strong) correlations, move on to next experiments to confirm

(except in climate science when you run screaming “the science is in”)

think back to 8th grade science now…

mmm yeah no you didnt. i made a claim. you asked who believes that, and i replied that i do as i am the one who made the claim

please try and keep up

Yes, please think back to 8th grade science where it seems you slept through the “correlation does not prove causation” lesson.

You tried to use a correlative study as affirmative proof of causation. You were wrong.

Show a single post where I have done that. Just one.

If something as seemingly benign as vaping can cause such health issues so quickly it is a certainty that THC will be found to have a negative health impact.

The only question is how significant will it be.

It will impair judgement leading to accidents like has been presented.

It may lead to more serious medical consequences.

Could be that those are worth using it to help with cancer treatments.

Could be a different scenario if using to cope with back pain.

I would like to see more medical uses and less recreational advocacy until we have a couple decades to study this.

I asked to back up the claim by citing anyone who believes that driving high doesn’t impair you.

You said “I do.”

Then you tried to play cute word games about it, so I asked the question directly, and here you are parsing the conversation, with a little dash of snark (and hey, I don’t mind snark-just pointing it out).

And then I asked again if you could cite people who don’t believe driving high impairs you.

And then you continued to deflect and parse more.

So here we are, again. Easy question, since you made a claim:

So, can you cite people who don’t believe that driving high impairs you?

This makes no sense. People have been smoking marijuana for 1000s of years. The vaping issues have nothing to do with THC or marijuana.

Why do you want big mommy government telling adults what they can smoke?

yawn…

so anyway, here’s a little more on pot and driving:

“Marijuana significantly impairs judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time, and studies have found a direct relationship between blood THC concentration and impaired driving ability.”

do dee do dee do…

oh look:

“Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found in the blood of drivers who have been involved in vehicle crashes, including fatal ones“

ho hum…

oh geeze, look:

“Two large European studies found that drivers with THC in their blood were roughly twice as likely to be culpable for a fatal crash than drivers who had not used drugs or alcohol“

these are all referenced btw. here, in another “random” “fringe” publication:

making pot widely avail and legal is a menace to society, based on how it will affect driving alone

People are impaired enough by being coddled through media and government agencies.

Add in some mind altering THC and it gets worse and I have to deal with it.

be careful out there camp. things are getting crazy (crazier) thanks to the pothead left who feel roads are too safe

Must be why they want self-driving technology so much.

I certainly don’t want to be navigating roads with machines or THC addled operators.

sorry lefties, but truckers dont seem to think this is “progress” either, but then they actually work for a living:

Did you actually read that article?

It’s not about the opinions of truckers on weed. It’s about the confusion trucking companies are facing between state laws and federal law.

So who are the Libertarians you cited who believed that smoking weed does not impair your driving?

People are smoking THC regardless
