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

Thatâs honestly a very odd reaction, for what itâs 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 itâs 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⊠Itâs odd, Iâve 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.

Sorry for making you angry!
Yeah, itâs hard, itâs not like youâre wrong that driving while baked is more dangerous then sober, but to your point I think the way our infrastructure is built where pedestrians are an afterthought if thought about at all, definitely contributes to make it even more dangerous.
I wish we had more walkable/bike-friendly locations, itâs just not super likely given how large the US is

Nothing you said was rude. In fact everything you said was correct on all counts. I think the other person was just joking

I donât think this is âcar brainedâ. Theyâre not saying anything around public transit, just that we need to have a test for DWI and weed. People shouldnât 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 âdonât drive while bakedâ will be the next infomercial you see in a few years.

Missing the point a bit, we shouldnât base legalization around if people are going to drive their cars on a substance.
abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago
100% agreed. Like I said I think it should be legal regardless, the punishments are way too severe for what it is. But on a completely different note, we do still need the tests. I love drinking and I love smoking, but there are rules of the road, and one of those is âdonât drive the death machine with impaired judgementâ.
But yes youâre right, the legality shouldnât be based on if âbut what if they driveâ. Iâm more saying âif you do some life-disregarding level ignorantâ shit youâre still getting in trouble.
