[QUOTE=kentuckykingfisher;533170]No deaths from it? [url]http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_25475533/denver-coroner-man-fell-death-after-eating-marijuana[/url][/QUOTE]

That brings the total to.....one.

Long ways to go before we reach this.......

I'm not necessarily for legalization, but we really need to be cracking down on something with statistically based evidence - not a 1950's reefer madness movie.

Yes I'll agree with you on that one. Never saw the movie I guess that's what someone was referring to in a previous post about some 7mph thing and no deaths.

[QUOTE=Tim_T;533151]You made plenty of mistakes in this debate. All you have is opinion, but science proves otherwise. You do realize the movie "Reefer Madness" was not real don't you?

As for your comment "easy to tell the users," it just shows how foolish you are.[/QUOTE]

Like I stated earlier, I make no mistakes in my observations. Sorry, maybe it is you that needs to touch base with reality.

Bluegrass pipeline? LOL, just wait. I promise I will remind you that I told you so just like the pot deaths, I didn't supply a link because you have google and I know how fragile your internet ego is.

I understand that you still live in the 50's, but many of us live in today. Science has proven you wrong on multiple occasions. Weed will be legal in this state long before any pipeline that has no benefit to Kentucky will make it across private property..

First it sounds like you have seen some research on traffic fatalities due to "weed". It's taken awhile but it seems to be getting out.

Second, I don't live in the 50's I grew up in the 80's,. when everyone knew what potheads were. They were the same individuals that spit on our troops returning from Vietnam, hippies. That is true still today. I still do not know any "professionals" that "smoke weed", likely never will.

The pipeline is already halfway across Ky, I should probably say 75%.

Both booze and weed can cause deaths when abused. Given, no contest.

But cars still kill more than the 2 combined. Maybe we ought ditch the cars, and hit the weed and brews but ride bikes.

If nothing else, the bikes would be cheaper to insure, no air bags to repack, and no need for a CARFAX when buying.

Anyone paying attention to traffic fatalities rates DUE TO MARIJUANA in Colorado? How about the number of children using now? Homeless?

Sounds like marijuana isn't the harmless drug some claimed! Glad other states fell on the sword so Ky doesn't!!!

No not really. Care to supply us with a link that supports you and your infinite wisdom?

ALso, when you post a link, make sure it includes a study that shows me a direct cause and effect correlation showing acute intoxication directly caused the accident. Not some "well toxicology reports showed 15.46756% of drivers in accidents had a THC content of 5 nanograms when the accident occurred". You can test positve for a good while after you smoke - if there's weed out there that keeps you intoxicated a week after you smoke it somebody's got a major gold mine on their hands.

Now with that said I'm not really for legalization. However I understand that "correlation does not equal causation". Show me valid statistical analysis and not "well my daughter died in a wreck and the driver smokes weed, so it must mean he was stoned when the accident occurred". I'll wait.

When I googled "Colorado traffic accidents marijuana", the first link was this one.....
