I am getting really tired of the overly-dramatic political ads with teary-eyed parents warning me that I should vote against marijuana legalization because of the potential for impaired driving (I’m looking at you @AAAauto). That position is disingenuous and insults my intelligence.
There are any number of credible reasons to oppose marijuana legalization, but it is hypocritical to cite DUI as a reason to maintain criminal penalties for marijuana and not be equally devoted to reinstating prohibition.
I confess, I am not objective and I’m cranky because my back hurts. Then again, my back always hurts because a drunk driver broke it 30 years ago…..I don’t care how you vote (much), but DO vote.
Now, can somebody get me a drink or something.
