Most doctors have agreed that a glass of red wine a day is very good for you, in many ways. It's good for the heart, lowers LDL, and is filled with antioxidants. But a bottle? The same benefit and help a glass does for the liver would be completely reversed by a b costs oottle a day. What were they smoking while he did the study?

I have a problem in my own country also... I am completely against weed legalization as such, not that I am against it... there so much dorks consuming the propaganda stuff(using same slogans as you did now)... thinking of the benefits... okay okay... I just don't want one day to be ran over a doped car driver... you now... I just wonder why in hell you have the movement the US now... WTF IMHO. It is costly as hell... and for what... for few smokers leisure seekers? Give that money to homeless people education, give free education?. I cannot understand that a government controlled leisure mechanism is a key to overall wealth to society and country?

Most people who know how weed effects them actually drive better stoned believe it or not.

I had weed a few times it only gave me a bit of a buzz and I was able to build a computer, config a network, and make it home just fine.

Clearly he likes his wine. And I'm sorry but weed does not make you drive better. Maybe less scared or nervous but not better

There are far less cases of accidents when the driver is high compared to being drunk.

And even less accidents with people that are not under the enfluence of anything. But If you ment a person on weed drives better than on alcohol then yes

Lets be honest here, what do you actually have against marijuana other then being hit by some high person driving a car, because that could happen even if they person was completely sober. And Costly as hell? For who, as far as I know the government is making money off of it, at least here in Washington state. Marijuana is taxed like 2-3 times before it gets into the hands of the smokers.

The comparison between weed and alcohol is ridiculous especially if you are trying to gauge levels of impairment.

Driving while under the influence of drink or drugs? just dont do it, OBVIOUSLY

This thread just makes everyone aggressive due to it bringing up opinions on drugs and alcohol. Can it be closed before more insults are thrown out?

Based on what historical evidence?
Testing for drugs is only recent, where as testing alcohol content has been going on for quite a while, and as been mentioned, this thread is about wine, not illicit drugs.

I think you should just unsub from it if you don't like the conversation, rather than spoiling it for everyone else.

Look, I get that you mean well, but as the OP, I'm not exactly thrilled to have someone suggest that it should be closed down. If I feel it's getting out of hand, I'll suggest it myself or perhaps a cleanup and I've done so occasionally in the past.

Oh I think the topic is interesting, but when people get aggressive for no reason, it kinda spoils it for everyone else. Don't get me wrong; I'd love for the thread to stay on topic about which does what and what relates and all that nice science stuff.

I voted yes but my opinion is that you can get away with a lot of drinking when you're young. At my age it gets harder to do and probably my body takes more of a negative hit health wise than a younger person.

Off topic: I smoked a lot of pot when I was younger. It does affect your driving. You think you're doing 45mph and you look down at your speedometer and you're only doing 25mph. It affects your reaction time too. I don't think it harms the health as much as alcohol though. The govt here in the USA might as well just legalize it and tax it like they do alcohol and cigarettes Instead billions of dollars are flowing out of the country to Mexico and South America when that money could be spent here.
