POT IMPAIRS DRIVER ABILITY

Dear editor,

I am writing in response to Russel Barth's letter in the Dec. 3
Gazette.

Mr. Barth claims the new drugged driving bills are an attempt to
profile marijuana users. The next line says that marijuana use poses
no threat to road safety.  Really?

If someone is stoned and driving their vehicle, is he saying they are
not impaired? That's the biggest load of bull I have read in a long
while.

I am certain this law is to catch those who are driving while under
the influence of marijuana, not those who got stoned last week. The
idea that this law is going to be used to profile marijuana users is
paranoid and delusional.

Perhaps a side effect of marijuana use?
