POT TEST NEEDED

I'm totally appalled now that I am a adult; but in my teens -- I would
have been dancing/driving drugged in the streets.

I smoked a fair bit too much in my younger years. I have experienced
the devastation of drug abuse.

Personalized use is now being encouraged, without past legal
intervention, past fines and court appearances.

Lest we forget how may lives have been devastated by the
carelessness/irresponsibility of drunk driving.

How may years did it take, lives lost, to enforce the breathalyzer
test?

Now a device has been created to protect the weak drunks from turning
on the ignition because they are repeat offenders of driving drunk.

Try to keep the roads safe. Do we know the related health risks of
over use of pot? Is the cancer less painful than tobacco use/abuse, do
drugs cause every child to have allergies? What we need here is a
device to measure the amount of pot in a drivers' system.

God forbid we do not care.
