Parent said doing drugs, not dealing or driving while doing. Both dealing (in the victim-ful sense of black and gray market dealing) and driving while intoxicated are still heavily prosecute, no one is easily forgiving those

Most people doing drugs are driving with them as well. Addicts aren’t going to stop just because they need to drive to the store.

Not all drug users are addicts but addicts, especially functioning ones, are doing the day to day stuff everyone else does.

Doesn’t matter if we like it or not scientists are trying to develop a THC test for driving in legal states. It’s going suck for a lot of people until they get it right.

FYI, I believe in a form of decriminalization for drug use. I call it carrot or stick.

The same could be said of alcohol, but I doubt most people who are drinking are also driving while under the influence.

There’s a test and a legal limit for alcohol. At the moment for drugs, even prescribed ones, any amount is enough for a DUI. In my state, I can legally have 3 beers in an hour and drive but couldn’t have one hit of a joint and legally drive.

I don’t avoid driving drunk because it can be tested for. I avoid it because it’s dangerous.

It’s absurd to think that most people who do other types of drugs are willing to drive while intoxicated while they aren’t while drunk.

I didn’t say what you alluded to in your last paragraph. Legally people can and do drink and drive, it’s illegal to consume drugs and drive in any amount (in my state).

My personal experiences in high school and college lead me to believe a lot of people think it’s ok to smoke and drive and to some extent do other things. While they will avoid drunk driving just because it’s much easier to detect alcohol.
