STATES ALLOWING MARIJUANA SEE RISE IN DUI FATALITIES

No matter how defensively you drive in Florida, not having an 
accident is usually by luck, not skill. Almost every day we read 
about fatal DUI accidents. Usually the driver at fault, already has 
had 4-5 DUI convictions and is driving with a suspended license.

In Florida, we will be voting whether to legalize pot. In some states 
that have legalized marijuana, fatal car crashes have doubled.

I for one will vote against the legalization of marijuana. If you 
disagree, tighten your seat belt and hope you survive the carnage 
caused by impaired drivers who may be under the influence of both 
alcohol and marijuana.
