I've already buried one mate because of cannabis use. While it might get recorded as a road accident, the accident was actually caused by him being under the influence of cannabis.
Don't believe you.
Did the cannabis tell him to drive? I'm not meaning to be disrespectful but if someone gets behind the wheel drunk it's their own fault whereas if they drive while influenced by cannabis it's the drugs fault?
Let people take what they want but remove all ability to use it as a defence. Prosecute any crimes committed under the influence with the full weight of the law. i.e. a slap on the wrist and some community service
If you use the argument that no one should be allowed to use cannabis because people "might" drive while under the influence then you have to advocate a ban on alcohol as well or you are opening yourself up to being labelled a hypocrite.
