Reply #128: there's a lot of support for the claims.

you can take past and present statistics and extrapolate- and you can bet that insurance companies have probably already done this, and use the info to help lobby against legalisation(that's how government works anymore)- for fear that they will be making more payouts if the day ever comes.

and before legalisation can occur, these types of issues will HAVE to be considered and prepared for. we can't and hopefully won't, just blindly legalize it, hope for the best, and see what happens- as that would be extremely short-sighted.

as far as the use of the word intoxicant- it's use was meant to indicate that smoking pot will impair a person's driving ability- perhaps not as acutely nor in the same manner as alcohol- but especially for people who aren't used to it, it can be a dangerous level of impairment.
