POT LEAST OF DISTRACTIONS

To the editor:

Now that marijuana is becoming more accepted in our society, people 
are fearful that we will have lots of motorists driving around on our 
streets impaired. Here's a news flash: We already have drunken 
drivers, people texting and playing games with their cellphones, 
people trying to eat a three-course meal while steering their vehicle 
and a host of other distractions once we get on the road.

Let's face it, the streets are a jungle and it is survival of the 
fittest. People smoking pot and driving is just one more spoke in the 
wheel, no more or no less dangerous than any of the other factors.
