An argument isn't going to prevent any more death, just produce more hatred.

Though I think it's already been explained that this guy wasn't drunk, I know a few people who have been known to drive after a few drinks. It's a STUPID decision. It really is. We all make stupid mistakes. Instead of playing the blame game, why don't we try to prevent more mistakes?

I'm sure everyone here is aware that drinking and driving is bad. Let's encourage others not to get killed. Don't drink and drive. Even one or two drinks, though it may be legal, kills people.

I think the other thing that may be a factor in this death (though I can't be sure) is smoking weed and driving.

A LOT of people think it's perfectly safe to smoke and drive, and there are lots of conflicting studies. I know I've done it before, and a lot of other people have.

Maybe that's something productive we could all do. I've been so high I can't operate the television remote, so logically I know it can't be safe to operate a ton of metal at 60mph.

Even if you CAN drive okay while stoned, even sober people crash, and if you get in an accident and you just HAPPEN to have some THC in your system, you only add to the case against marijuana.

I was actually the first of my little group of stoner friends to say "Hey, maybe we should just take the bus or walk". That was about one month ago. At first everyone looked at me funny and just said "YOU can fucking walk", but as I started to recruit more and more people, I don't think I've ever had more fun smoking weed. Every time we smoke it's an adventure. We meet TONS of new people all the time. Also, I've probably lost 10 pounds (I didn't really think I had a weight problem before, but I feel good so I can't complain).

Also, we have a "designated driver" rotation that applies to pot, alcohol, or any other drug we decide to do. Most of the time nobody has a problem being the designated driver because the driver gets free gas, food, concert tickets, movies, or whatever we're doing that night from the rest of us. Also, when we're smoking a bowl the green hit always goes to the last designated driver.

Just a thought. Anyone agree with me here?
