Why not UK

Legal weed in Leftpondia has been proven to reduce drink and drug
driving.

Is stoned driving better than drink-driving? They're equally risky and
both illegal (in the UK and USA, and almost certainly also in Canada).

Ah, of course - if our lords and masters have decided to make something
illegal it must be wrong.

Define "wrong".

And your point?

It's obviously too complicated for you, but for a normal person ought
to be more obvious: there is no gain in swapping drunk drivers for
drugged drivers.

Even you ought to be able to work out why.

I have never knowingly taken cannabis products (does this mean I don't
qualify as a normal person?). No doubt you can explain why there is no
gain in swapping drunk drivers for drugged drivers.

Neither category is in full control of the vehicle, of course.

Are you feeling alright?

What makes you so certain legal weed will result in drink drivers becoming drug drivers?

Nothing makes me certain of that.

So why did you claim it does?


But *you* insisted that legalising illegal drugs reduces the incidence
of drink-driving.

Empirical evidence from USA proves it.

You are the one who is certain of it. I have questioned y0ur certainty.

And I have provided evidence to support my position.



*You* are saying that there is a connection between
the two, and that connection can only be people moving from
drink-driving to drug-driving.

*You* are saying that, not me.

You are saying the first part of it. The second p[art of it is an
inescable conclusion from what you are saying.

No it is not. *You* are assuming adults who use the recreational drug THC have less self control than those who use the recreational drug Ethanol.
Do you have any basis for that assumption?


Well, unles the drugs so incapacitate its
victims that they can't find their keys.

Drugs like alcohol, you mean.

Yes... well... we have a law against that.

No one is proposing Weed Bars where you can go and get high then drive home, as happens with alcohol.
No one is suggesting you should be able to order 'A selection a rustic breads with cannabis infused olive oil dip' in a restaurant.

This is how it works in Colorado.

Those interested in FACTS can skip to 2:50.
Those wishing to maintain their ignorant, uniformed prejudices can say 'I'm not going to click on that link.'

It's up to you to put your argument. I shall not be doing any part of
your Youtube research for you.

I have done my research. Both research and real world data show legal weed is beneficial to society.
The only argument against it is 'Nanny knows best.'

So tell the government.

They already know. The government has admitted there is no reason for weed to remain illegal but they are going to keep it illegal anyway.

I'd like a citation for that claim, please.

A nice big explicit one.

Life is full of disappointment.

Indeed. But not in thise case. All you have done is confirm that your
assertiuon (and a silly one at that) was made-up.

It should be easy if what you say is true.

Then why not try doing your own research for a change?

You don't understand this discussion and debate business, do you?

The onus is on th person asserting to prove that their assertion is not
unsupported.

If you say that 3 + 4 = 9 and can prove it, you've won.

In Watership Down 3+4 was Hrair, 9 was Hrair therefore 3+4=9.

1/0=infinity, 2/0=infinity therefore all numbers are equal.

I seem to have won.
