[QUOTE="Jones, post: 157560, member: 4805"] Put me on the list of those in favor of decriminalization. Actually Tie, what the ER Doctor said (according to Trick) was that he had never seen a patient admitted for potsmoking or the results thereof, which is a bit different than claiming that pot smoking has no ill effects. I was curious about that though so I did a little research, and from what I could find the incidence of "stoned driving" accidents/fatalities is so statistically insignificant that the NHTSA doesn't even track it. Alcohol, however, was a factor in 16,972 traffic fatalites in 2005, the last year for which the stats are available. That accounts for 39% of all traffic related deaths. I did find reference to another study that purported to show that narcotics (it wasn't drug specific) were invloved in 18% of all fatal traffic accidents, but in almost every one of those cases alcohol was a factor as well. Based on that it seems fairly plausible that an ER doctor could go 25 years without seeing anyone admitted to the ER specifically for smoking pot, especially when you consider that the health problems inherent with marijuana use (lung cancer, short term memory loss) aren't things you typically see in the ER.
