Fatal crash report finds nearly half of deadly wrecks tied to illegal drug​

THC levels in hundreds of crash victims far exceeded legal limits across all states​

A growing number of marijuana users are driving while high — and it’s costing them their lives.
More than 40% of victims of fatal vehicle accidents over the past six years have had elevated levels of THC in their blood, a new study shows. The drug screenings were performed during the autopsy process.
The Wright State University-led study, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, reviewed data for 246 deceased Ohio drivers.
The researchers found that nearly 42% tested positive for THC, with an average blood level of 30.7 ng/ML, according to a press release.
Those levels remained high over a six-year period, despite the state recently legalizing recreational cannabis.
"I was surprised to see that level," said lead author Akpofure P. Ekeh, a professor of surgery at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, in the press release.
"An average level of 30.7 ng/mL generally means those people must have consumed marijuana at some time close to driving. This isn't about residual use; it's about recent consumption."

Marijuana Is Too Strong Now

As weed has become easier to obtain, it has become harder to smoke.

I don't find this surprising at all. Many times I've gotten up and left the house at 7:30AM and smell that nasty pot stench, a couple weeks ago I was sitting at a traffic light and a guy in the car next to me fires up a joint and hands it to a woman all with two kids in cars seats in the back!

This could have been easily predicted. Weaving through traffic at over 100 MPH is consistent with people who are high on pot. This is much more dangerous than drunken drivers, who tend to slow down. Now that pot was made legal, it will be impossible to ban it again. We are fucked.

There are a shocking amount of stupid people then. I’m a trucker, and a motorcyclist, and I notice shit… it’s the smell. Everywhere in the state is full of people actively smoking weed while driving.

If it is propaganda, it’s pretty on point when I compare it to my observations being out and about at all hours, for many hours at a time, around all manner of different people.

Haha, how could they know, in 100yrs. there hasn't been any research on this class 1 drug according to the media.
Where did they come up with the "levels" of intoxication, off the 6' covid study?
Taking any drug, including heart meds, water, can cause a form of intoxication.
How about the government doing what they are supposed to do, they are not our daddy, just like a gun, if you commit crimes you pay the fine what ever it is. People can inject gasoline for all I care; it is of no business of the government until a crime is committed.

Weed doesn't make you high for days.

The metabolites stay in your blood stream / body fat for a long time, relatively speaking.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the active psychoactive compound in cannabis that causes the "high," while THC metabolites are the inactive breakdown products created by the body as it processes and eliminates the drug. The metabolites don't impair you at all.

www.ryanpigglaw.com

What is the difference between active THC and the metabolite of marijuana?

Many employers require post-accident drug tests when you have been involved in a workplace accident. As this article explains, a urine test may detect metabolites of marijuana in which case your employer will attempt to blame you for the accident. If you are in this situation, you need to hire...

Pretty much this. The genie is out of the bottle and there's no way the states that have "legalized" it are going back after getting a taste of that sweet, sweet revenue stream. It's super hypocritical considering all the prosecution in the past, and we all know it was never about health, but it is what it is. Just like alcohol, it's here to stay. Better get used to it.

And who was the drivers and who were the passengers? Were the cops high or drunk? As we have a drunk cop in the Syracuse area and one more near by both have drifted off into the memory hole.

Even the new pot gummies may keep you high for days...............Fox news Jesse Waters took one and was fucked up for weeks, he said.

People do stay high on the new pot and from my long acquaintance with people who used the stuff, I have seen career destruction in the majority of them.

I'm not promoting cannabis use, but it doesn't keep you high for days or weeks, lol. Jesse Waters is full of shit if he's saying he was high for weeks from eating a cannabis gummy. That's like saying you drank 1 beer and were drunk off it for weeks.

Detectable by a urine test is not the same as keeping you "high" or impaired.

Cannabis urine tests primarily screen for the metabolite 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-COOH). This is an inactive, non-psychoactive compound that the body produces after breaking down the main psychoactive component of cannabis, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The metabolites stay in your body for much longer than the actual impairing chemicals.

Most of this above is wrong.
You never stay high for days unless you keep ingesting every x hours.
Waters is full of BS no possibility he was fucked up for weeks let alone days, if he even got high off 1 gummy.
Emergency rooms 20% , BS people have been ingesting it for thousands of years new or old, how ever you can over indulge just like anything and have the same problems.
How quick we forget the world wide scam the "professional medical community" pulled on everyone.

Those of lower youth IQ have been found to have almost no effect from pot use, regarding psychotic episodes, but they do suffer short fuses and poor judgment for life................................

Those of higher IQ or older ARE having psychotic episodes, needing to be treated with haldol or thoriazine.

Pot IS a hallucinigenic drug..............far out man.

Not a recent discovery...50 years ago people, were being taken to the ER for smoking pot laced with animal tranquilizer.............turned out to be just pot.

20% of the population cannot tolerate pot..........

Keep lying to yourself that pot is safe................it is not.

See you in the ER.

Make sure you have enough gummies when you cannot smoke it.

So much reefer madness bullshit in this thread. lol

If it's on the internet, it must be true, am I right? Ho Lee Fuk! :confused:


It's like a beer thread saying that if someone drinks a beer or three, they'll be drunk for a week or more.

Weed is weed, it's just weed, yeah, it's more potent than it used to be. But in the end, it's still just weed. The reefer madness in this thread is ridiculous.

This thread is giving me a better understanding of how the covid scam was able to take off as it did... Facepalm.

Don't like the smell of it, don't like to be around those using it, don't have any scientific data, just my own observations from the 60's and what I saw it do to people that I knew very well. Do what you want, just stay the fuck away from me. To me, its' the fodder of sheep and their bizarre rationalizations.
