Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3219183, member: 9326"] Right, and I get that, I'm simply saying that the reason you and I both know we can drive a car 2 hours after having 2 beers but that we'd likely need to wait until later the following day if we knocked over a bottle of wine or spirits is because those guidelines exist and we've been educated accordingly. You certainly weren't born knowing how standard drinks worked, it's something a scientist worked out and the government funded the education campaigns for. They did this because whilst drinking and driving was a problem, they knew that simply blanket banning the whole thing was impractical and unfair. If that principle worked for alcohol, why have we not applied the same logic to drugs? People are not going to stop doing drugs and driving because no law and penalty imposed has ever completely eradicated any crime. If we know that this is the case, how about we use the revenue we're happy to grab from infringement notices and reinvest it in doing the research to determine the safest way to consume drugs and avoid motor vehicles for a sufficient amount of time. Seeing as safer road use is supposed to be the purpose of traffic regulatory bodies, this seems to me to be a bit of a no brainer, just a shame it isn't extremely lucrative, so no one in power gives a **** about it.
