America Is Too Stoned Already: We Don't Need More Marijuana Availability
[Clever readers will notice that this is a repost from last week...Ace stomped it after a half hour or so]
That's where marijuana should remain. Smoky dorm rooms and basements where stupid kids and their even stupider older siblings hang out and solve the ills of the world. But it doesn't belong on our streets or offices, and relaxing federal restrictions will do exactly that. Hell, it's already everywhere in some cities...it's impossible to walk down a NYC street and not smell it.
Rescheduling Marijuana Is the Wrong CallWhen it comes to drugs, it’s hard to imagine a Republican president deciding to pick up where his Democratic predecessor left off. Yet that is what President Donald Trump did yesterday, directing the Department of Justice to finalize a process, started under former President Joe Biden, that would recategorize how the federal government views marijuana. In so doing, Trump hands a huge financial benefit to the businesses seeking to profit from making pot more mainstream. There’s no way of understanding the decision without seeing it as a triumph of commerce over long-standing cultural concerns, and of the libertarian, podcast bro faction of the Right over its traditional socially conservative wing. It’s also the wrong move. Improving the commercial viability of marijuana won’t make America’s citizens healthier or her cities more livable. If the goal of federal policy is to make America great, rather than just delivering benefits to a well-connected industry, yesterday’s executive order should be contested—and rescinded if possible.
America has too many problems without adding more of us getting high regularly. Sure, I sound like somebody who just kicked you off his lawn, but what is the benefit to our culture? [Yes, there is a song behind the graphic!]

Bardot will be missed. She had more balls than anyone else in France, and most people in this country. She spent her golden years in court fighting the power for speaking the truth. That homos are wrecking French culture. That Muslims are filthy savages who need to be thrown out of France. That #MeToo actresses are hypocrites and cockteases.
She was persecuted and repeatedly prosecuted by the homos, cockteases, hypocrites, and filthy savages of France, and now every obituary pillories her even after she has no way to answer their calumnies.
But she knew all that would happen, and never once bent the knee.
RIP, Ms. Bardot.

And the shit they sell in the weed shops today is far more potent than they had back then.

There are perhaps 7,000 souls in the metropolitan area of the high desert town of Burns, Oregon. The last time I drove through, Burns had 3 weed shops.

I was convinced that the ridiculous numbers of pot shops in town would dwindle with competition, but instead they have expanded and gotten better decor and presentation over time, and more have been added. There are more pot shops than gas stations in town. More than coffee shops.

On the other hand, weed is legal in Ontario, Oregon which is fifty miles away from Boise, Idaho, where it is not.
Ontario is the largest city in Malheur County, and legal weed sales were recently calculated to be equivalent to $3000 per resident of the county per year.

1) like alcohol, a lot of people cannot use marijuana responsibility.
2) few of the touted benefits are generally applicable to even the target population
3) it still has side effects and downsides
4) as often noted, the cultivars today are way, way more potent than the dirtweed the majority of the "it's not harmful" crowd knew and smoked
We're still about 5 years from seeing what widespread use of gummies and vape looks like.
I don't think it'll be benign.

Weed is now so popular that alcohol sales are falling.
It's not unusual for me to smell weed coming from cars as I drive to work.
Then in my work parking lot I pass by multiple cars that reek of pot. This is almost every day.
I work on an automotove assembly line.
It might not be highly physically addictive, but a lot of people sure seem to need it to get thru the day.

It seems like a small problem compared to the broad range of legal pharmaceuticals that turn kids into beaked-up, dickchopping psycho-killers.
I think our country can multi-task such where we can have Crusaders against SSRI/Benzo/Box Wine and have those who are fighting MJ proliferation.
As a Calvinist, unregenerate human behavior will find its desires outside the camp. When culture continues its Congo line dance away from God through its Pied Pipers of Babylon, the untethered will follow and find its desires in whatever is the greater influence.
That is why I sort of was OK with false piety of State Religions, those on the wide path, or nominal Christians, though not regenerate, would at least not be hostile to righteous behavior and would keep their sin in the darkness rather than out in the open.
As the US has reverted to the norms of human history and has rejected Christianity, reclassification of MJ remains in sync with the cultural rot that continues unabated.

With well over fifty years of both toking and drinking, I've got to say alcohol has gotten me into far more troublesome situations than pot ever has.
But basically it comes down to self control. You've always got to be aware of what you're doing, even when you're doing stupid stuff.

Or drunk. No reason we can't have the same laws for weed as there are for alcohol.
Posted by: JackStraw at December 28, 2025 12:25 PM (viF8m)
Arizona's laws are very strict. If a cop thinks you're impaired, and they find THC in your system, they're going to charge you with a DUI, and it'll almost certainly stick.
Because the cop says you looked like you were impaired.

FWIW, I'm not part of that crowd. Nor would I categorically say that about alcohol.

Legalizing weed is problematic - but the culture has already chosen, for better or for worse. The excessive penalties outweigh the minimal effect the laws currently have. At most, make it a traffic ticket level offense but no more. An enhancement to the punishment for other crimes, if committed.

Marijuana does have some practical benefit for pain patients. And for cancer patients. I would like for it to be studied and those patients given another option for symptom relief.

Virtually everyone I knew in college was either a lush or a stoner or usually both And they all tuned out just fine. The biggest stoner I knew became a really successful Wall St lawyer. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s in the $1000/he range. People have the ability to get high but also take care of business when needed.
The idea that weed turns people into unmotivated losers is backwards. Unmotivated losers are the type who do nothing but smoke weed all day. And that’s ALL they do. But it’s not the weed that made them losers.

Mind you, I've no problem with folks smoking weed.
Like, if I ever reach the no responsibility/ all set/ no goals stage of life, I'd smoke a fuckton.
It's just ... High Times was chock-full of stupid arguments back then.
And digitizing them didn't make them more sound.
Just admit you like getting blitzed and stop trying to rationalize it.

"People defecate in private as well. Should we let them do it in public?"
A Constitutional Republic requires a self-regulating and religious population, for it is incompatible with any other.
The multi-"culture" economic opportunity zone known as the former United States has such a diluted culture of self-regulation that the alternative is strong authoritarianism or widespread chaos. Looking at this heterogenous dissolved country, it appears that there are pockets of Order surrounded by breakaway regions and fiefdoms shoes culture is largely depravity and lawlessness.
I'm guessing that Ordered areas will still remain ordered, and those in Outer Darkness will continue in their quest for divine judgement.

On a constitutional point - I do not believe it is Constitutional for our government to make it illegal for you to grow something on your own land and consume it yourself, if you choose to do so. You are not engaging in commerce in any way by doing so.
If you use that opportunity to engage in commerce, then yes that falls under the power of the state. But not if you don’t.

Agreed. If government wants to help, it should be pumping education out there.
But it seems to have abdicated any role, which I doubt has anything to do with lawmakers being more libertarian, and has everything to do with their preference for stoned citizens.

TRAVELERS have been warned that they could be hit with hefty penalties if they are being unruly on flights.
The warning comes as a Frontier Airlines passenger was slapped with an eye-watering $25,500 fine after allegedly acting unacceptably toward fellow flyers and staffers.
The misbehavior included repeatedly kicking the aircraft bulkhead, screaming obscenities at other passengers and throwing food.
She also reportedly locked herself in the bathroom for half an hour and refused to get out, despite the seatbelt sign being on.

As a former alcohol and drug rehab program director, I worried as much about marijuana as about hard drugs precisely because it was viewed as relatively safe. A percentage of people will always find a particular substance addictive, so the more people who use pot, the more that will have it negatively impact their lives. What I've seen with people who use pot regularly is a diminishment of agency, a willingness to put up with bad situations instead of changing them. Heavy pot users struggle cognitively, as most of us have seen with friends and family members. Many politicians are seduced by another source of taxation, but they ignore the costs, both human and financial.

When legalized weed was on the ballot in Oregon, cops pointed out that they have no standardized tests or equipment to check if someone is too high to drive safely, an it was a public risk. Judging by the driving in town, its still a real problem.

Wine for Communion is one thing.
Weed to better enjoy a Grateful Dead album is another.
I can have wine for Communion and still respond to matters that are best served with sobriety.
When someone has enough weed (I have no idea what level of partaking confers impairment) they are no longer available to respond to emergencies or be of use when action is required.
Thought experiment: Someone does something that requires medical attention. Are you better able to positively respond after a glass of wine or after a typical intake of weed?
Proverbs 31 says that a king should remain sober, a prince light drink but let those with no hope have strong drink and wine to those in distress.
It ain't the Book of Wisdom for nothing.

Exactly.
I have a strong amount of empathy for people who have suffered in their lives, and they turn to pot (or other substances) to relieve them of their pain. Mental and physical (because you often can't separate one from the other).
Those who have the CAPACITY to overcome their struggles, often don't. Because they use a substance to escape from it.
That does NOT contribute to human growth. Sorry, it just doesn't.

I have a strong amount of empathy for people who have suffered in their lives, and they turn to pot (or other substances) to relieve them of their pain. Mental and physical (because you often can't separate one from the other).
Those who have the CAPACITY to overcome their struggles, often don't. Because they use a substance to escape from it.
That does NOT contribute to human growth. Sorry, it just doesn't.

When was your experience? It's different now.
Do more kids smoke pot now than before? Then more kids turn into losers than before. Right? And a higher percent because the THC % is much much higher now.
Just, wait til you're 25, it'll be fine.

Marijuana does have some practical benefit for pain patients. And for cancer patients. I would like for it to be studied and those patients given another option for symptom relief.
Yeah a responsible thing to do would be to have five years of careful studies on what it does before considering lowering penalties and 20 before considering legalization. Surely we can find better uses for pot than smoking it to get a buzz.

Pot is very bad for young minds, 25 minimum is a good limit. Its catastrophic for people with mental illnesses. Most kids don't smoke though, they take gummies or brownies.

A lot of manufacturing companies will start to tolerate a certain % of pot heads. They do this, even though they know there is some detriment to efficiency and safety because if there is ever a need for a good downsizing to placate shareholders but they want to avoid federal reporting the pot heads give them a good 20 - 25 % margin they can walk out with a sudden plantwide drug test. Easy-peasy. The way this is foiled though is if the pot heads come to their manager first and all say, hi I'm a pot head now, then they are required to treat first and put them in a program. So it's tricky.

It's like none of us has ever met a regular user.
—
I’ve met myself, lol.
I was a “regular user” from 17 or so to 23,24.
It wasn’t a big deal. I wasn’t addicted. It was something I did very now and then, just like how I went out drinking every now and then.
By the time I hit my mid 20s I stopped. I don’t even remember why, just wasn’t a thing to do anymore I guess?
This is why I roll my eyes at this “on no you’ll become a vegetable sitting in the couch all day” stuff. No that’s not how it works. A small percent might just like a small percent of people become alcoholics. But for the “regular users” it’s just something in their lives, no different than watching sports or whatever.

Yeah, alcohol has definitely destroyed on a much more brutal level. I never saw a violent weed smoker. What I have noticed over the years is if a person by nature is a lazy sack of shit then weed becomes a way to justify them being a lazy sack of shit. I see it in people around me. Many successful people who smoke, because their core makeup is not lazy. I know other people who are bordering worthless because deep down, thats just who they are. Now you got a whole generation who was taught by marxists that their life is a drag and the planet sucks. Then they feed them weed. The problem started when the marxists started breeding the lazy first.

On a constitutional point - I do not believe it is Constitutional for our government to make it illegal for you to grow something on your own land and consume it yourself, if you choose to do so. You are not engaging in commerce in any way by doing so.
You are treating the Constitution as a license for vice as long as you game it correctly.
Freedom isn't supposed to be "I can do whatever the Hell I want" it is a framework so that people have the liberty to do that which is Right.
By the mere fact that you proclaim that society, outside your personal container has no business to regulate your activity, if what you were doing was benign, why would the outside world care?
So you know its wrong, but hide behind the fig leaf of Constitution protections ignoring the fact that our forefathers didn't write "Life, liberty and Pursuit of Happiness and Vice"

15% is some kind of magic number. About that percentage of people should NEVER touch alcohol and about the same # should NEVER touch pot. Also, starting pot age 15 or so seems to be a disaster for many. The ones I know who did, a significant # became ne'er-do-wells.

Absolutely. That’s what I’m saying too. It’s the backwards cause and effect. Weed doesn’t make you lazy. Lazy people tend do abuse weed. But they’d be lazy either way.

Dope smoking on the job is a sure way to get mediocrity - which seems to be on brand for our greater "culture".
I'm thinking that working while impaired might have some safety, insurance and legal responsibility attached to it. The likelihood of creating insurance claims and lawsuits doesn't go down if the workforce is high.

If that's a serious question, the answer is, back when there was serious research being done, longitudinal studies showed that HEAVY cannabis users, who started in their teens and early 20s, lost about 8 IQ points.
And never got them back, even if they stopped completely.
Also, the aforementioned fatality rates for drivers under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis were shown to be significantly higher than those under the influence of "just" alcohol.
It's also true, there is anecdotal evidence of long time users suffering cognitive decline as they age, much more frequently than those who were casual or non-users of cannabis. However, this has NOT been studied in any meaningful way, so it just remains anecdotal.

Our biggest problem that we dare not face, not in this thread nor in our culture, is that it is completely hypocritical and untenable position to say that pot is bad, but alcohol is good. More specifically to say that use of pot must be criminalized, while the use of alcohol is encouraged and the mass sale of alcohol is extravagantly rewarded.
To the young, this looks like a cynical system to reward one group of industry owners while punishing those who might cut in on their business. As such it guarantees those laws will never be respected, and fighting to maintain that system is inevitably a losing battle. It can be maintained by sheer force for a while, but that always breaks down when the average people view it as simply corruption.

I have seen multiple studies and numerous anecdotal confirmations that substance abuse tends to lock a person into a developmental state. That is, during the time one starts intoxicating substance abuse, their own mental and social development stops and may restart years after the abuse ceases.
If they are doing weed or alcohol in teenage years, and continue well into adulthood, their mental and social development is stunted to approximately when they began, and may never resume.

Lunch time they let us outside. 10 people kick in $2 each, get a half ounce, roll the whole thing up and 20 joints would go around a circle of 10 people, which kinda funny. Then you got out of school and then the real smoking started. I did almost every day, graduated with As and Bs and barely every studied. You could not, no way in hell, carry on like that with the shit they got today. I knew I was done with it when I couldn't get past a 1/2 joint by myself and choked the whole way.

Pot has always been around, but it took the subsection that is the self-celebrating asshole Boomer contingent to normalize it. With the fell consequences will soon see.

Pot should stay within the bounds of the Joe Rogan Experience.
(I don't know if he partakes, but a lot of the conversations sound like "dorm room at 2 a.m."-style Wooooah Dude! stuff, which I love.)

I'm a conservative, and I'd like to see laws/restrictions on pot relaxed. Medical or otherwise. Alcohol is the worst of all. (yes, I drink a little too) Does anyone think people aren't driving and walking around impaired or drunk all day, everywhere! I take a toke or two occasionally and enjoy it. It only takes a puff or two. I'd much rather see much harsher restrictions placed on alcohol consumption. Alcohol is truly a killer!!

It’s interesting how some of y’all are getting uppity and nasty and puritanical about pot.
I think it should be studied. Funded, blind, real studies about the medical/psychological benefits/dangers of use. My dad grew pot for my mom. She was 45 and diagnosed with a wonky, rare, metastatic bone cancer. She was dead in 18 brutal months. Some of her only relief came from taking a couple tokes off a hand rolled home grown joint.
Please don’t be so prickly.

Generally, my position on this entire topic is the libertarian one: Get the government out of the business of policing private behavior.
What exactly is private behavior?
So someone who engages in self-harm practices will NEVER be a burden on society as a consequence of their "private behavior"?
Stuffing one's face with donuts and Coca Cola day after day privately at home dramatically increases the odds that I'm going to have to underwrite their medical bills.
How private is that?
Banging stoned prostitutes privately at home behind closed doors while the kids are fully aware of what is going on has zero effect on their psyche and neuroses later in life?

By the mere fact that you proclaim that society, outside your personal container has no business to regulate your activity, if what you were doing was benign, why would the outside world care?
So you know its wrong, but hide behind the fig leaf of Constitution protections ignoring the fact that our forefathers didn't write "Life, liberty and Pursuit of Happiness and Vice"
Posted by: Unknown Drip Under Pressure at December 28, 2025 12:54 PM (a4flb)
The great genius of the American Constitution is that it is a series of limits on the powers of our Government, NOT a guidebook as to the limitations on our personal freedoms.
There is a very long list of things that are bad ideas for one to do, yet which our government has no business or power to keep you from doing. Drinking too many coca colas, for one trivial example. Or drinking too much bourbon on New Year’s Eve. (Of course they can regulate your attempt to drive after doing so)
But we do not live in an authoritarian nanny state, and this nation was never intended to be one. If we make a personal choice to go to hell, then before both God and man we have the right to.

And at the top of every one of those fraud pyramids is a cabal of rich leftists; at the city, state and federal level.

>>> 59 I noticed the potheads in high school were never really eager to do anything but get high. My ‘theory’ of the drug is that it has an effect on your personality, namely it saps your motivation.
It really does a number on your brain if you're under 25. And your motivation. The kids that were the major potheads in high school rarely seemed to suddenly snap out of it and turn their lives around. It was like it sapped their ambition for life.

Then came the drifters. Street zombies. Whacked out on weed, meth, booze, stumbling thru the streets.
Next, the homeless population exploded. People camping in parks and under highway overpasses and breaking into the commercial properties left vacant by our faggot governor's covid lockdown policies.
All of this driven by the malaise and indifference brought by Colorado's lax attitudes towards everything.
Trust me- there is no benefit to legalizing pot. I've seen the ruination first hand.

That was kind of my point. There is no such thing as "privately" except in the delusional world of "I AM AN ISLAND" type of people who are tightly integrated, whether they recognize it or not, in something called "society".
Even Scriptures order the believer to not forsake the fellowship of other believers - we were designed as social creatures. Granted many truly suck at it, but that is the basic wiring.

Something I'm worried about is the number of teens that vape. At least where I'm at, it's HUGE. It's banned at schools but they all do it.
They are finally getting research rolling in on it, and it's not good. You have teens addicted to vaping that should have glowy, vibrant skin, and it's dull and dry and wrinkly like they are in their 30s-40s. They are going to look like mummies when they're 50.

These are the ones who I'm worried about. The kids who are just barely motivated enough to support themselves getting pushed off that fence because they found a drug they like more than being an adult.
Then they become burdens to the rest of us.

I just read the first section of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and had forgotten what it's about.
Then I closed the book and my phone screen showed me what i'd been reading before the book.. It was Nick Shirley's stuff about the somali fraud.
And I thought, you can't hate islam enough, but islam can hate us more.

Those reports are scripted with keywords they've been made to memorize, whether they actually observe those characteristics or not. That's why there has been such a scandal over sober DUI arrests where the driver was 100% clean. And of course the time honored planting of drugs in people's cars and "lookie what I found!" And the always-festive donut glaze testing as meth.

They also use drug dogs, where the cops wave a hand (which may have something on it), by a door handle, and when the dog then keys in on the door, they now have "probable cause" to search the whole vehicle.

MJ is a gateway drug because the same people your kids buy weed from also have "free" samples of other stuff to try like crack and meth. No medical marijuana dispensary has ever offered me anything beyond MJ and associate products, but they're not criminals.
If you think your kids can't get MJ if they want it, you are a deluded fool.
If people want to sit around and smoke pot all day, they're no different than the people that sit around and get drunk all day. They're also going nowhere in life, only the drinkers tend to be more violent/dangerous. Society's role should be to NOT facilitate their loserdom with SNAP, etc. You don't work, you don't eat.

When my 90+ year old grandma was in massive pain and had no desire to eat, we got "contraband" lotion in it with cannabis brought to us by a relative who lives near you. It helped with the pain, didn't mix bad with all the other meds she was taking, and helped increase her appetite a little.
When she went to her doctor for a check-up and casually mentioned it as one of items she uses in her pain regimen, he was like I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that... I mean, come on! She's 90. He got it. Good doc.

We lived in CO during the first four years of their legal dope thing. Denver along east Colfax or Broadway smelled like San Francisco in 1968.
We lived in Broomfield, one of the few counties that wouldn't approve "dispensaries," but it seemed like a weak meaningless position to take.
We left in disgust with not just what legal weed did but mostly what californication did to what had once been the glorious gateway to the intermountain west.

The studies on this show overall accuracy south of 50%, which indicates it's all based on the cop's hunch, not evidence. Some individual dogs and handlers are even worse. The notion that a cop's lies are now elevated to reasonable suspicion and probable cause for a search because had a dog at the time is laughable and an obscenity against the Fourth Amendment. It should be rejected outright as the unconstitutional farce that it is.

The "war on drugs" gave us militarized police forces, no-knock raids, civil asset forfeiture, and a general erosion of our Constitutional rights. Blowing up Venezuelan boats shipping drugs is war on drugs. Kicking in the door of the wrong house on a fraudulent warrant and shooting a 7-year-old in the head, or confiscating a veteran's life savings during a traffic stop because is what we got.

The police forces are as they are because “we can do anything we want! WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS!!!” And people let them, refusing to hold them to account because people, especially the police themselves, believe themselves to be above criticism.
The rest of your screed is just you justifying losers and loser behavior.

Also, Ida B Wells, her hero, was a pistol packing republican badass. I have a feeling she is far less pro second amendment than Ida was. Ida is NOT your bae, Miss jones, and would be smacking you for tarnishing her legacy.

The studies on this show overall accuracy south of 50%, which indicates it's all based on the cop's hunch, not evidence. Some individual dogs and handlers are even worse. The notion that a cop's lies are now elevated to reasonable suspicion and probable cause for a search because had a dog at the time is laughable and an obscenity against the Fourth Amendment. It should be rejected outright as the unconstitutional farce that it is.
Posted by: K9s pissing on the Bill of Rights at December 28, 2025 01:40 PM (TbWk/)
I saw a story about a dude who was convicted of murder, because a cadaver dog got a "hit" on the car seat in his car.
There was literally no other evidence against him, and plenty to implicate others of the crime, and the dog handler has said repeatedly that it was an unreliable result (for a number of reasons). As far as I know he's still in prison.

You can’t be publicly intoxicated without inviting the cops to jump on your case. I went hiking this weekend in various state parks that featured massive signs proscribing the public consumption of alcohol. I cannot carry concealed AT ALL with ANY BAC over zero. There are still dry counties and cities even here in TX. Try buying alcohol in a liquor store today in TX. Or any alcohol before 10 on Sundays. Until 2021 is was illegal to sell any alcohol before noon on Sundays.
What an idiotic statement.

Now is the time for Trump to hit blue States HARD.
Tell The People the real reason their gas is expensive. Tell them why their Heating Oil costs $0.35/gal more in MA than NH.
That's right. I live on the border of MA/NH, and the same company that delivers the same oil to MA in the same truck charge 35 cents/gal more than NH customers. That's a lotta fucking money.

Man, think of all the people who service dogs (and the less well trained emotional support dogs).
If they allow you to take the dog to prison with you (because, sure, why not. We let you declare your sex when you get there so you can bunk with the laydees), that poor dog.
Sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit!

Like seat belt laws, it is not really a victimless crime.
But only because "society" has agreed to those that can't pay their own medical bills from bad injuries. MJ is worse imo, and most places don't have strict laws on how high one can be without getting a DUI.

But they justify it. Ask them about it and they’ll tell you they have amazing schools, even though the state is always near the bottom in test scores. It’s delusion not lack of info.

I will say this... I know someone who's a counselor for disabled students at a university, and they were legally obligated to serve students who had a disability due to pot usage. I wish I was kidding but I'm not. They smoked pot, their doctor felt they could prove it damaged their brain, and they got disability benefits. And this is in a conservative state! It's probably worse in blue states.
Now is that due to fraud in the education system being too liberal in identifying something as a disability? Or are there actual harms to the modern crop of cannabis use for teens, that are starting to manifest as gen z and gen alpha go to college?
Like nurse said, we need non biased studies for all this! Just pursue the science, and see where the chips fall.

I don't see a movement to re-criminalize pot unless and until there is a nationwide MADD-like campaign. MASD. Mothers Against Stoned Driving. For that to happen, there will need to be xxx number of kids and innocents killed per year because they were driving stoned. Killing themselves and/or others.
I hope enough people see the damage pot can do to lives before driving deaths get enough local news coverage to indicate action is required. Maybe we never reach that point. Does anyone know the number of people killed annually by stoned drivers, machine operators, and idiots?

keep it away from kids (impossible) as todays moonrocks may cause psychotic breakdowns that otherwise might not occur.

Via Grok:
In the US, total annual traffic fatalities hover around 40,000-43,000 in recent years.
The percentage of crash deaths involving cannabis doubled from 9% in 2000 to 21.5% in 2018, which would equate to roughly 8,600-9,000 deaths based on total figures, though not all are directly attributable to impairment.
Post-legalization studies estimate an increase of about 1,400 additional traffic fatalities annually due to recreational marijuana access, based on a 2.2% rise per billion miles driven.
Recent 2025 data from crash reviews indicates over 40% of deceased drivers tested positive for active THC, with levels often exceeding legal limits.
In 2018, about 12 million Americans reported driving under the influence of marijuana.

In the US, total annual traffic fatalities hover around 40,000-43,000 in recent years.
The percentage of crash deaths involving cannabis doubled from 9% in 2000 to 21.5% in 2018, which would equate to roughly 8,600-9,000 deaths based on total figures, though not all are directly attributable to impairment.
Post-legalization studies estimate an increase of about 1,400 additional traffic fatalities annually due to recreational marijuana access, based on a 2.2% rise per billion miles driven.
Recent 2025 data from crash reviews indicates over 40% of deceased drivers tested positive for active THC, with levels often exceeding legal limits.
In 2018, about 12 million Americans reported driving under the influence of marijuana.

I love getting high. In fact, I'm getting high right now. I consider my decision to start consuming Delta 8 as one of the best decisions of my life.
