115. Smoking pot has no negative effect on driving.
And saying stuff like: "Come on, you HAVE to admit it does, because we FEEL that it must," changes nothing.

The only evidence that marijuana impairs driving is based on "truthiness" like the crap this link leads to -- not on science or fact.

This matter HAS been scientifically studied, though, and the existing science says MJ (alone) does NOT impair drivers. In fact, the test evidence says that MJ actually IMPROVES driving. Use the Google and see if I'm not correct. Should take you less than 20 seconds to find it -- if you care what the truth is.

The only 'evidence' that pot is bad for driving comes from amalgmations of contrived drug warrior rhetoric citing flimsy, incomplete 'facts' that, upon close inspection, wind up proving absolutely nothing.

Follow the OP's link. Read what's there carefully and you'll discover that there isn't a single sentence in that link that outright SAYS marijuana is bad for driving.

And the reason it doesn't say that it that is because it can't.
