Absolutely, although I wouldn’t say NOS is substituted for weed all that much. Also, the legal limit for weed and driving should be raised, particularly since the government asked the scientific community where the level of impairment was and then set it lower.

I’m in favour of legalising drugs, but driving is dangerous and should only be done when you are sober and able to give your full attention.

Absolutely, however if the level of intoxication is below the level of impairment, then the drug is not having a negative effect on driving.

We have this discussion currently about Weed in Germany. Its so annoying to See articles with headlines Like “cannabis behind the wheel” etc. Noone ist advocating for people to Drive under the influence. But If i smoked a Joint on friday and get stopped on monday, i’ll lose my drivers license even though im sober. Drugs stay in your system way longer than the actual effect.

Neither is alcohol. But with freer access to cannabis in Canada fewer are drinking as much.
