There's this thing called a balanced perspective. Aside from the problem of people driving while stoned, I can't think of any other reason that weed should be illegal. But I still have that one serious reservation about stoned driving. If we are going to have legal weed, then we need to actively discourage stoned driving just as aggressively as we do drunk driving.
Because if you have reservations about legalising weed for the same reasons that alcohol is a problem, but think that alcohol should stay legal, then that's inconsistent.
So we have a campaign to seriously deter people from driving while stoned. Easy enough. We do it successfully with drunk drivers.
No, it's not inconsistent. You are just engaging in whataboutism. I said that if we are going to have legal weed, the we need to actively discourage stoned driving just as aggressively as we do drunk driving. So I'm completely consistent.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
