I know that drivers under the influence of alcohol can generally be more dangerous and idiotic than those that are under the influence of weed, but smoking weed still does make people slow and less quick to respond to things and can cause accidents, and depending on how the individual metabolizes it, they can have hallucinations and be more at risk to develop schizophrenia and be a hazard because of those problems. I know it may seem harmless to legalize it, but if it was legalized, wouldn't that cause a spike in the overall use of it by the general population and therefore cause even more accidents because people drive around under the influence of it? How can legalizing a hallucinogenic substance make it safer than when it was illegal, and how can we not expect there to be more problems if people start using it because it's not against the law?
And no pulling facts like "because there's no proof that it's dangerous" out of thin air. It's obvious that weed does have bad effects...
