    The way most of those are prescribed, that prevents one who is taking them from driving . . . those aren't an 'as needed drug' like a pain killer would be.

    I did use an exaggerated example, but pain killers, and drugs that makes you drowsy are more typical

    A drunk is far more dangerous, The pot head is moving sow at best, but neither should be driving. And factuallt Booze takes more lives off and on the highway.

    Don't get why someone has to do either... drink or smoke pot...I never saw the need for a crutch to get through life's problems. If you really need help...PRAY...it works better than any drug. It lasts longer too ...like an eternity!
     
    7-UP and mje Thank this.

    But not when they have the availability and know-how to get in and try to operate a vehicle that is 70ft. long , bends in the middle, and weighs 40 tons.

    There are many, many more drunks behind the wheel of four wheelers than there are behind the wheels of trucks. Driving a rig with a BAC of .04 is illegal. We all know that drunk driving is bad, and it has been cracked down on more, but there are always people that have to break the rules and do stupid stuff.
     
    T...Street Thanks this.

    Not all of us are religious, even if we don't drink or smoke dope. That's another choice we all have.
