The Congressional Research Service just released a study showing Cannabis has no effect on driver impairment. Myself and surely millions of others could have told you that a long time ago.
“There is as yet no scientifically demonstrated correlation between levels of THC and degrees of impairment of driver performance, and epidemiological studies disagree as to whether marijuana use by a driver results in increased crash risk.”
This is what happens when we ASSume: States all over the country are arresting and prosecuting people for an imaginary crime. We ASSume that, because there is limited knowledge on the topic due to decades of illegitimate suppression, we’ll just keep it right alongside our favorite vice alcohol, for traffic enforcement purposes. Brilliant. I bet some southern states even still have a racial clause about it hiding somewhere in their punitive traffic codes.
