Think Marijuana Isn't dangerous

Many people think that marijuana is a harmless drug, however an accident last week proved that idea to be wrong.

Last week, an officer pulled a car over for a regular old traffic stop. The officer got off of his motorcycle and was at the side of the car he’d pulled over. Then, a pickup truck driven by a 20 year old male just out of his teens swerved and hit both the officer and the car he’d pulled over. The driver of the car was killed and the officer is now in critical condition.

What caused the pickup truck to swerve? Well, that hasn’t been figured out yet. However, the driver was found to be under the influence of marijuana and a pound of marijuana was found in his truck. So, not only is this guy being charged with a DUI and drug trafficking, but now he is also facing the charge of vehicular manslaughter!

So, next time you think “It’s just weed!” think again. This drug can be just as deadly and dangerous as any other mind-altering substance.

Right, because no accidents ever happen without being under the influence of marijuana. Studies have shown marijuana can actually make you drive more safely. You're fucking stupid.

makes you drive more safely Osama? I've smoked and grown a lotta pot in my time and think it has it's pluses when used correctly and it's minuses when it's not but I would never say it made me a better driver under any circumstance...Hey is that your signature at the end? Nice touch but I think you might be the idiot.

I agree that the blod is a falicy. The person did not die from using pot. The person dies from smoking pot and driving. if the person did not dirve. they would not have died had they of not driven. the blog should have been about not driving under the influence. marijuana does not kill pepople. show me one study that it does. please provide link. drugs are dangerous, pot can ravage lives of addicts. but alone, marijuana does not kill. get it right
