Spread the knowledge...
Your comments on how to handle yourself in front of an officer are valid. You don't have to prove anything to them and sure don't have to incriminate yourself.

However the last paragraph is flawed logic. Your assumption is that it is 'logical' that herbs do not affect concentration or coordination. WTF is that about?

Just because it is an herb doesn't mean it can't or won't %$@ you up! You ever smoke Blueberry Haze or Isolator Black Hash? Please don't tell me that this stuff does not cause a highly altered state of perception and an inability to concentrate. That only shows you've never been exposed to it.

I've been around *a lot* of smokers and *a lot* of dope. It may hamper your concentration depending on who you are, and what kind of herb. Not to mention other factors such as what you've eaten, not eaten, how tired you are, etc... Not to mention how much you smoke. And just like drinkers, most smokers think they are "OK" long after they are repeating themselves 4 and 5 times, losing thought mid sentence, and unable to get up and move around.

I'm not talking about one puff on a joint. I'm talking about driving while high or stoned.

I am on a pipe and cigar board as well. There are folks there who will INSIST that because you are not inhaling, you won't get cancer. And have 'studies' to prove it. That is just ignorance of both medicinal history and statistics.

Just run a web search on "Marijuana concentration motor skills coordination". don't even use the word impair or damage. The VAST number of medically valid results indicate that it does affect these facilities.

this site is very unbiased, politically speaking:
Howstuffworks "How Marijuana Works"

as is:
Marijuana

Don't only believe propoganda that suits your tastes. Just get stoned with friends and throw a ball to the person sitting next to you if you want proof of impairment.
