Lol ... I suppose slower speed is a benefit. Personally speaking I'm not sure enough has been done to test roadside similar to alcohol.

This outta be an interesting beta test

The good news is that pot users have dramatically lower accident rates than other intoxicants. They are impaired, but the drug makes them think they are more impaired than they are and they adapt accordingly.

Alcohol makes you think you aren’t impaired, hence all the drunk driving wrecks.

fact

same with fighting/aggressive behavior. No pot head picks a fight with anyone, drunk guys on the other hand.

IMO, the law has it backwards on pot and alcohol. I don’t use either, but the pot heads tend to be much more pleasant on average than the drunks. It wouldn’t bother me if pot was regulated less and you had to pass a personality test to buy booze.

I’d much rather accidentally run into a pot head searching for munchies than a pissed off drunk looking for a fight.
