Subject: Re:Legalization of "softer" drugs has worked in other countries, but politically unacceptable in many places.
Czuch: It's a crime here to be under the influence of any substance while driving. Drink/drugs.. anything that impairs your ability including prescription drugs and any illness that could cause an accident.
NO actual deaths from just smoking Marijuana have ever been recorded as far as I can tell.
As to growing.. as far as I can tell, the states that allow it do so that the grower is under license. Better that then imported via drug cartels. Personally I feel it rather wrong that a drug baron gets money from medical 'pot' in the same regards I do not agree with the massive trade in prescription drugs on the internet (eg Viagra) that has sprouted.
As such there is no excuse here to have smoked and then drive. The advertising about the dangers have been going on for years in the UK.
