Mass Hysteria!
If
In Colorado, according to the Department of Public Safety's Division of Criminal justice, DUI cases dropped 15% overall between 2014 (the year cannabis was legalized there) and 2017. The number of people being cited for driving while high is going up, though. There's probably a really good chance that the only reason for that is that they're looking for it now. People have always been driving high, and not just on cannabis.
Frankly, drivers high on cannabis aren't ideal, but they're lower on my list of dangers than these options:
- People looking at their mobile phones while driving (aka most people)
- Drunk people
- People on opioid painkillers
- Crazy people with no insurance and/or in stolen cars (happens all the time here... usually teenagers stealing minivans)
Anyway, the easiest way to find stoned drivers is to put up road signs that say "free pizza buffet at next exit" and just wait.

You can often find me in here:
drivers smoking cigarettes are just as bad (if not worse) in my opinion :)
Sometimes, I'm tempted to honk at people who throw cigarette butts out the window, but then I remember how many people pull guns out in road rage incidents and I just decide to let karma get them later down the road instead. ha.
