    A 23-year-old Markham man has been charged with drug-impaired driving after a high-speed crash involving a transport truck spilled diesel fuel onto Highway 7 early Friday morning.

    York Regional Police say an SUV was travelling eastbound on Highway 7, near Commerce Valley Drive, at around 2:30 a.m. when it sideswiped a transport truck.

    The SUV then struck a light pole before rolling over.

    Been all sorts of stories in the news lately about the increased number of crashes in states that have "legalized" pot.

    Growing pains. Drunk and distracted driving will still be a much bigger problem than high driving. Portugal legalized everything a little while ago and offers not only safe sources for all drugs and paraphernalia, but rehabilitation programs to help people quit.

    Making it illegal and putting people in jail isn't helping the rampant drug problems. Proactive solutions are needed.

    People dying in car accidents must be part of the solution, eh?
    To solve a problem, one must first identify the cause of it. What causes people to want to get high all the time?
