This really doesn't suprise me... Pot doesn't fuck with your perception like alcohol does... What suprises me is that a government-funded anti-drug program is actually admitting they're wrong...

All they needed to do was ask. Of course pot makes you a better driver. You're not only more cautious (possibly because you're paranoid, or just more observant), but more focused on the task, and the speed limit suddenly seems like it is just about fast enough, thank you very much.

Sober I cruise the freeways at 70 mph, weaving through traffic. High, I stay in my lane and shake my head at people going over 55.

I'm so glad science has decided to back up potheads, who've been saying as much for years.

Spider mentioned this in one of his books. It was a hoot.

I loved "A cannabis specially imported from America".

What's *that* supposed to mean?

Now they need to do further tests on professional occupations, such as airline pilots, surgeons, and nuclear-power plant operators. If more of our politicians were stoned there would probably be a lot less military conflict.
