There is one problem with legalizing marijuana in New Jersey

There is one problem with legalizing marijuana in New Jersey, and it's massive

In August, a New Jersey grandmother was charged with vehicular homicide in the deaths of her grandkids, ages 5 and 2. Police determined she was high on marijuana when she crashed her car with the children aboard.

The tragedy was horrifying. It might not be isolated.

If New Jersey fully legalizes marijuana under the next governor — a move that frontrunner Phil Murphy supports — there is one nasty side effect we’re ill-equipped to tackle.

In Colorado, weed-related traffic deaths jumped by 48 percent after full legalization there in 2014. The problem: There is no reliable, efficient field test for stoned driving.

inconclusive? The fact remains the woman was high when she had the accident. Are you just going to dismiss that? You're the expert round here, so let me ask ... does smoking the weed impairs one's judgement? I don't know... so I'm asking.

Overall, we conclude that the weight of the evidence
indicates that:

1) There is no evidence that consumption of
cannabis alone increases the risk of culpability
for traffic crash fatalities or injuries for which
hospitalization occurs, and may reduce those
risks.

2) The evidence concerning the combined effect of
cannabis and alcohol on the risk of traffic fatalities
and injuries, relative to the risk of alcohol
alone, is unclear.

3) It is not possible to exclude the possibility that
use of cannabis (with or without alcohol) leads to
an increased risk of road traffic crashes causing
less serious injuries and vehicle damage.

1st was ganja the only factor in the crash ,I am sure the insurance companies had opposing perspective as per cause,2nd I wont dismiss anything and I will agree its best to be pro active to prevent accidents although the science is inconclusive ,3rd Impairment does not mean cause!

Can you tell me as a Jamaican who has a cultural experience with ganja,what sacres you about it and ask yourself with google at your fingertips is it justified ?

you know how long THC stays in your system? 10-15 days...so if i smoked 2 weeks ago & have an accident that would be considered a marijuana related accident...

[Sir X]

That's all the facts the agenda needs as proof of inpairment,frigg Any other causative agent of impairment,like just being a bad driver with a fear of fast moving vehicles.

Ban alcohol!

That is such low hanging fruit....legalization. Should be accompanied bycanni tense education campaign and proper oversight complete with regulatory authority with teeth...
