DON'T JUST TARGET THE POT SMOKERS
While I applaud the intention, there is something disingenuous about
singling out marijuana users for drug-impaired driving censorship
without also including prescription drug users.
Bedtime sedatives, anti-anxiety agents, or non-prescription cold and
flu medications with anti-histamines should be included with marijuana
in any impaired driving initiative.
Marijuana users are certainly no more impaired than the so-called
white-collar addicts, who abuse drugs like Tylenol with Codeine,
Valium, Ativan.
Less politics and more science please.
