I'd say the average pothead smokes a joint a day, probablly much less. Also, marijuana does not need to be smoked. It can ingested orally too, mixed with food or otherwise.

Driving? Sure, driving under the influence of anything should be heavily heavily discouraged, but you should read up, because pot doesn't really present a cause for worry on the roads. Unlike alcohol, cannabis doesn't inhibit risk-taking in an individual, and actually causes them to drive more cautiously, causing them to overcompensate for their intoxication.

Much like alcohol, marijuana inhibits the functions of short term memory and attention. So regardless, these people should stay the hell of the roads.

Which is what I said.

Yes, but you also said "Pot doesnt really present a cause for worry on the roads". Intoxication of any kind is potentially lethal when driving, however much or little is taken, from whatever source. Inhibiting attention doesnt lead to over-cautious driving.

Beer and grass is all I need thanks.

Oh and anyone against weed should do the following:

Throw out most of the music you have because most of it was written while influenced by at least pot.
