DRIVING STONED
Why would you think legalizing marijuana would increase the amount of
stoned drivers? There is no test now, what's to stop people from driving
stoned now? How will legalizing it change that? There wasn't always a test
for alcohol either.
In fact, by legalizing it we can better control underage access to cannabis
and therefore reduce the number of teens driving stoned. It's much easier
for teens to get pot than alcohol simply because alcohol is legal and
controlled. The government checks ID, pot dealers don't! By legalizing it
we can then openly educate people on the dangers of driving stoned.

behind the wheel if they're high)
