4skers89 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 As marijuana usage becomes more prevalent, incidents like this will be more common. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/27099320/driver-16-arrested-auburn-announcer-death The statement said a toxicology analysis from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences confirmed "the presence of marijuana in Taylor's system. I don’t expect MADD to change their name to MAID anytime soon since as their article mentions, the technology doesn’t exist to measure level of impairment for any drugs other than alcohol. They’ll continue to push for tougher drunk driving laws and lower the BAC since that is something that can be done and will keep donations coming in. https://www.madd.org/press-release/madd-statement-on-increase-in-vehicle-collision-insurance-claims-in-states-with-legalized-recreational-marijuana-use/ On June 22, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) released a “Status Report” on the potential effect of legalizing recreational marijuana use on crash rates. The report found that highway crashes (based on crashes of all severities reported to auto insurers) increased by 3 percent overall in three states after the legalization of recreational marijuana use.

Do they/you know what a confounding variable is? Did the population increase in those states? Did the number of drivers increase in those states? Did the number of highway crashes increase in other states? Association does not imply causation. 1 Quote Link to comment

I should have stated that I was talking about purchasing personal fireworks; there's something to be said for fireworks being one step away from just lighting money on fire. However, big firework shows do entertain me. Quote Link to comment

But I like going to the shows every so often. 1 Quote Link to comment
