Imagine being so car brained that you base personal freedom around it

HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone āØ15ā© āØhoursā© agoThe only issue I have with weed, and most other drugs, is that you canāt easily test for them in a personās system, meaning that you canāt know if someoneās driving under the influence. This wouldnāt be as much of a problem if not for the fact that we have have such a car centric society. I donāt like people endangering other people just for a buzz.

I honestly despise you for calling me ācar brainedā. That insult hurt me more than any other Iāve received. I want to protect pedestrians and cyclists from people driving cars under the influence. I want to limit driving peopleās freedom to make life better for everyone. Fuck you.

Thatās honestly a very odd reaction, for what itās worth I meant it lightheartedly.
Of course I think pedestrians and cyclists also deserve safety.
I would like to point out however that a majority of incidents are drunk drivers who do not already have a device like that in their car, so itās a tad bit absurd to indicate your hard line for legalization is that when it would only apply after the fact anyway.

Sorry, that was too rude, I just got really upset⦠Itās odd, Iāve never really gotten angry at internet comments until now.
I just wanted to point out my single issue with weed, which is more an issue with car centric infrastructure.

I donāt think this is ācar brainedā. Theyāre not saying anything around public transit, just that we need to have a test for DWI and weed. People shouldnāt be jailed for 30 years regardless of the presence of the test or not, but we do still need some other test. Otherwise I guarantee that ādonāt drive while bakedā will be the next infomercial you see in a few years.

Missing the point a bit, we shouldnāt base legalization around if people are going to drive their cars on a substance.

You can easily test if theyāre in someoneās system with a saliva test, so your argument doesnāt make any sense.
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone āØ3ā© āØhoursā© ago
Can you hook a saliva test to a carās ignition system to only allow sober people to start the car?
Diurnambule@jlai.lu āØ10ā© āØhoursā© ago
I am 100% on bike I see no argument on there. Just donāt smoke 3 day before you have to drive.
Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works āØ11ā© āØhoursā© ago
They have mouth swabs they use now that can tell for smoking.
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone āØ11ā© āØhoursā© ago
Those canāt be used on the road and canāt be integrated into a carās startup system.
Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works āØ11ā© āØhoursā© ago
They can be used when pulled over just like a breathylyzer (although this is the law in my state and Iām in USA all places may not have the same rules) but I do see what you are saying about hooking it up to the car like the breath machines.
Man, someone could potentially make a lot of money to be the first ones to roll that out.

Eh, you can still do a blood test in conjunction with a field sobriety test. Its not as cut and dry as something like alcohol, but to be honest it really shouldnāt be anyways considering how much more dangerous driving while drunk is.

The best way to eliminate this risk is public transit.
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone āØ3ā© āØhoursā© ago
Yes. I want to ban cars too.
