("Hassles follow drug claim," Jan. 28.) Every peer reviewed study ever published proved cannabis smokers are safer on the road than those "high on life." I wonder why no one bats an eye about those who use pharmaceutical drugs? There must be tens of thousands of them on the road and on the job at any given moment. Cannabis does not cause impairment to motor skills similar to the alcohol experience demonizers would have you believe. Cannabis causes drivers to relax.
