CO and WA Legalize Recreational Marijuana

All drugs do not have the same effects, clearly, so saying that "if person A uses adderall and can drive safe, then person B should have the same option of driving while high" is pretty stupid. You can't just throw all drugs in the same boat and while marijuana is obviously not as dangerous as alcohol, I do not think that allowing people to drive under the influence of perception changing drugs is a good idea.

His point was that being under the influence of ANYTHING is bad. Therefore i used "anything" to refute that, because there are more drugs than just alcohol and weed that people use regularly often for purposes that make what people do more controlled and safer. But being under the influence of ANY drug doesn't mean it's bad when you're driving. Thanks for supporting my argument, bro.

Also your point about people driving the speed limit while high is crap. I have been in the car with tons of people that have been high while driving. Regardless of the point that we have been safe, some of them speed, others drive the speed limit. It is more personal preference of whether or not you follow the law "or want to be badass" or some sh'it like that that determines how fast you drive. I am not sure how a police officer could check if you were high somewhere on the side of the road without giving you a blood test, which seems too invasive to be adopted as a reasonable option.

My point is crap because people are different? K.

Not only is that implied, it doesn't take much from a research standpoint to get data on that. Take a sample group of sober drivers, observe them for X days or hours. Take a sample group of the same drivers, observe them driving high for X days or hours. Boom. Research data.
