Yes. You will absolutely remember every detail of the explosion for the rest of your life.

Fortunately, it is part of my agenda AND I recognize that proper statistical analysis can point the way while junk statistics are better suited to hidden agendas.

So, were the second group perfectly psychologically healthy before they started smoking so much? Perhaps they were the few who were on the road to going postal one day but by the grace of THC they are able to at least live peaceful lives?

I have no doubt that chronic heavy use is bad for you. I suspect but cannot prove that at least some of the people who fall into that pattern had an underlying problem in the first place that they are self-medicating with varying success.

It wouldn't be too surprising if like alcohol, some people should avoid THC for their own good.

Given NHTSA's sloppy reasoning and screwy statistics WRT alcohol, they aren't a particularly good source of information.

An elderly man (a teetotaler) has a heart attack while driving and collides with a restaurant that serves alcohol. Fortunately, it is closed at the time so the only fatality is the driver. According to NHTSA's definitions, it is an alcohol related traffic fatality.

All of the stats you cite are such that no reasonable conclusion can be drawn. For example,

First, that's a pretty wide swing, can't they narrow it down if they have actual data? Answer, no because they extrapolated the data from a small (possibly cherry picked) sample.

Of that 4 to 14 percent, how many were currently high? You test positive for THC long after the high is gone.

What percent of drivers not involved in an accident tested positive for THC (or would have if anyone cared to test)?

Of that 4 to 14 percent, how many were concurrently drunk?

For the 3,000 Australians, were they at fault or were they 'at fault' because police found a roach in the ash tray and so decided they must have been at fault (quite common). I hear a question being begged.

Meanwhile, none of that has a single thing to do with overdose.

The DEA's criminal actions would, if anything, weaken the apparent results. The evidence really DOES strongly point to a reduction in prescription deaths where medical marijuana is legal.

How many hours of your time do you waste in a week trying to hunt down people you figure owe you $0.01 for the time you spent exchanging nods in the elevator?

Interesting but please fix the links.

Actually evidence suggests 8 hours a night is NOT what we're supposed to do. In the middle ages people would go to bed shortly after dark and sleep heavily until somewhere around midnight. They would then be quietly awake for a couple hours and go back to sleep (the beauty sleep), then wake around dawn.

The problem for most people is they don't allow themselves enough sleep at all. Hopefully if they can at least be OK with naps, they'll be a bit better off anyway.

It all comes down to tolerance. With a high caffeine tolerance, a small amount from a single cup of coffee has less stimulant effect than the relaxing effect of the warm beverage.

That's a knee slapper.

Not to mention that running the report will itself become part of a bizarre ritual. Not less than once a month, the report must be run, printed in triplicate, placed in a folder (yes, all three copies in the same folder) and filed away unread. It will remain there until the filing cabinet fills whereupon it will be moved to a larger filing facility, still unread. Meanwhile, the electronic copy will be moved from the file server to an archival tape in the library. Years later, the unread paper reports will be shredded (but not recycled, they contain vital information that must not get out) and the unread report on the archival tape will be sent to long term storage (still unread) where it will be forgotten. It will be kept under 24/7 armed guard because it contains vitally important information that must not leak out.

Perhaps if you call and ask them to turn off the malware filter for your connection...

Best solution: Have all 100,000 claimants file in small claims court instead.

But I bet if you ask UPS they'll tell you that.
