Anyone who thinks driving drunk is similar to driving high is an idiot. Obviously driving when you are extremely stoned is not smart but when you are high, you can actually think compared to when you are drunk.
Think about it normally, who is most likely to get into a fight? shoot someone? break stuff? Someone who is drunk because you can't think when you are drunk. People act like morons, they drunk text people for no reason and do **** they regret the next morning. Not saying being drunk isn't fun but being high is definitely WAY safer. When you are high, it's almost like your instincts and reflexes are still there but sometimes you question yourself. Huge differences.

First you legalize cannabis, then what's next, GAY MARRIAGE?
You are missing the point. You are still impaired and should not be driving.

I agree but comparing driving drunk to driving high is stupid. Driving tired is probably more dangerous than driving stoned. I'm curious to see what the DUI laws would be and how to determine how high an individual is
Perhaps you are right. However legally I think they should apply the DUI laws to driving high.

It's exaggerations like these that hurt the pothead's case.
There is less than 1,000 prisoners per state for any type of marijuana offense let alone simple possession.

And hundreds (thousands) in jail in every state for marijuana. I don't think he was off at all. I think the only person who was off is the moron who told you only 1 person is in Utah State Prison for marijuana.
As long as we're only putting around 1000 people per state in prison when they absolutely don't deserve to be there I guess I'm okay with it morally. I mean they're only human beings and their freedom isn't that big a deal because there are so few. As long as they arn't having their freedom impacted by paying too many taxes it all evens out in a way. Except for the people who live in prison instead of at home, working, taking care of their families.
Oh, and calling this a pothead vs non-pothead issue hurts your case.
