San Fran to expunge over 9000 cannabis convictions

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.

Your original post didn't exactly express this same sentiment. Having a reservation about the legalization of weed means you're sort of skeptical about legalization, as if this one limiting qualification is enough to make you question whether or not cannabis should be legalized. That's how your original post came off to multiple people, not just me.

This seems inconsistent when you openly cited incomplete research to try to prove that cannabis causes car accidents (which, the very research you quoted openly admitted it was making no such claim), while you never expressed any "reservations" about alcohol and fatal car collisions. This comes off, to some, as inconsistent. It seems like you have a bone to pick with weed while you're happily giving alcohol a pass.

I'm not claiming you're saying that, but you have to understand that this is how it is coming off to people.

Even if a correlation was completely established between cannabis use and an increase in reported car collisions, this isn't a valid enough reason to combat legalization. This means, as others have stated, we need increased awareness and education surrounding cannabis use, especially in correlation to using a motor vehicle.

You distort the concept of having a reservation. You people are so damned "You're either 100% for things, or you're 100% against them" that it is just about impossible to have a discussion about anything with any of you. You shut down discussions.

I had one reservation. It was a valid reservation. An intelligent discussion probably would entail what we think should be done about that valid reservation. Several people posted that people who are caught driving while stoned should be prosecuted. That's a rational response to my reservation.
