    Human use of cannabis is what, 5,000 years old? LD50? It's not toxic, even if you eat kilos of it. Maybe you would die if half a ton fell on you from a great height. Compared with tobacco or alcohol it is harmless. As for the article?

    Does the use of cannabis increase the likelihood of fatal car accidents? Yes. By how much? Unclear

    If it's unclear the why answer yes? How about:

    Does the use of cannabis increase the likelihood of fatal car accidents? Don't know.

      If a legal limit for alcohol has been set for drivers why not set a legal limit for cannabinoids? Why the big discussion?

        This is my only real major concern with legalization, the inability of a roadside test. With alcohol you have the breathalyzer, with other drugs it's going to have to be blood, and that's going to be a hassle.
