Marijuana is transforming into a legal social drug. Is it a good idea, based on this one interpretation of one study, to condone toking and driving as a safe practice?
What say you?
The tone of the summary: Yah! Driving stoned is safe!
The zealous presentation of the evils of alcohol (commonly understood, mind you) at the end of TFS only serves to reveal the author's bias, rather than clarify his argument. It's like arguing, "Punching someone in the nose is okay, because murdering them is so much worse."
It is an impossible distinction to make when attempting to determine who is a hazard on the road under the influence, and who is not.
It is "much more difficult to get pinched smoking a doobie while driving around". Hogwash. As a regular smoker, you are probably not aware how long the smell lingers inside your vehicle and on your clothes, but you should be aware that you are quite vulnerable to random search by LEOs in your vehicle driving down the road.
Whenever inaccuracies are reported as fact, it makes the rest of the information less credible.
FWIW, I condone neither drunk nor stoned operation of a motor vehicle. Sober drivers are distracted enough with ubiquitous cellphone use, eating and talking, putting on makeup, turning around to correct backseat children, et al.
If the macrophages do this with tattoo ink, they no doubt do it with other things, as well.

But hell, if you put it like that, there's no controversy.
FWIW, I an a big fan of renewable power generation too, but I recognize that we're not there yet for reliable grid electricity generation. The nuclear option should not be off the table.
Trust me. I work for the Temporal Bureau.
The UK already does.
California also does this. We have ads on billboards with guys holding limp cigarettes in their mouth. The anti-smoking ads in California are funny, and very effective.
How the hell do they get the actual money OUT?
Bypass encryption from a Country not beholden to cooperate with the U.S. Sadly, the list is growing.
Here's the craziest part of the whole story. One of these banks may not have cashed a check I had, made out to me... by my employer
$Tens of millions U.S. leaves out in the night without any real-time human authentication.
It became clear to me years ago that I could only make something fool-resistant, since as soon as I imagined foolproof had been achieved, they kept making a better fool.
My takeaway: The most devilishly clever security system, devised by the most gifted programmers, in a scenario where money was no object, can still be compromised because of the human user element in the implementation of the system.
it seems unlikely a longer list will cause cigarette sales to plummet.
