San Fran to expunge over 9000 cannabis convictions

So are you being careful with throwing numbers around when you go and look for the lowest number you can find?
Did you notice that your source is older information?
Did you notice that my information was from the most recent studies?
I didn't exactly pull the 6% number out of my ass.  More studies are being done.

It's pretty much a fact that states with legal weed are having more accidents.  I'm not happy about this either. I basically think that smoking a little weed on our own time in our own homes shouldn't be illegal. But we do apparently have some dumbasses who think that legal weed means that it's OK to drive while stoned. I'm not arguing that we should not legalize weed. But we certainly need to address the stoned driving thing.

I didn't "look for the lowest number," I simply found the IIHS article that your article was referring to. The article you posted is referencing the information put out by the IIHS. If you have a study that is supposedly newer than the one done in 2017 by the IIHS, please link it so we can both be clear about what we're talking about. The article you posted also says, "The new reports do not prove there’s a direct risk caused by the use of marijuana among motorists."

You seem to be much more concerned about cannabis than about alcohol, with drunk-driving contributing to over 10,000 car deaths annually. If the issue is lowering the number of deaths from impaired drivers, certainly we should be weary of keeping alcohol legal as well.

Like I said, with the information we have, it's POSSIBLE that cannabis is causing more reported car collisions, but it's not proven. I also think it's very early in the game to start making any blanket statements.

I seem to be more concerned about cannabis than alcohol? Where the hell did that come from?  Of course I have a problem with drunk drivers. A huge one. And if we have a problem with drunk drivers, then it totally makes sense to have a problem with stoned drivers as well.
