We can agree halfway with this Forbes story that claims cell phones and marijuana are killing American pedestrians. We’ve seen people looking down at their phones as their about to cross the street, narrowly escaping a car making a turn. But marijuana. Given the strenghth of most of today’s weed, we think all but the most seasoned pot smokers probably stay inside, locked to their couches. Of course, if anyone gets behind the wheel stoned, they deserve whatever hell traffic court can send their way. (I leave out one friend who has smoked consistently since their teens, and is a calmer, more rational person for it. For them, I might go to court and testify we’re all better off if their stoned. Anyone else, throw the book at them).
