Poll of the Day > 19 y/o Girl High on MARIJUANA caused a deadly CRASH that KILLED a Man!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

19 y/o Christina Diaz from California was arrested and charged after she drove while HIGH on CANNABIS that caused a hit and run and killed a man on Tuesday!!

She is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, a DUI with injury, hit and run and vehicular manslaughter.

She was driving a 2004 Toyota Camry at 630pm when she initially collided with a Dodge van.

She lost control of the vehicle and crossed into the centre median and into the eastbound lanes striking a mercedez-benz sedan.

45 y/o Andrey Tagintsez was killed at the scene and the people riding in the Dodge van suffered minor injuries

Police arrived at the scene and Christina hot tailed it from the scene before she was arrested.

Driving under the influence of marijuana is illegal as Police Chief Ronald Lawrence said "This tragedy is an unfortunate reminder of the dangers of drugged driving"

She is currently on $395,000 bail..

Do you think conservatives will use this a sticking point to KEEP recreational marijuana banned?

Let's review the score card:

Marijuana - 1
Alcohol - 583,762*

*(I don't know the actual number of alcohol-related fatalities over the entire history of the automobile, but I'm sure it's higher than Christina was)

Marijuana is so irresponsible, she should have been drunk behind the wheel instead.

Or instead we could acknowledge that driving under the influence of any mind altering substance is literally stupid and should not be taken lightly, and I have no sympathy for more sever punishment for getting caught doing it.

No she didn't.

I think I heard on the radio something about this. His mother was talking about how bad weed is and that it shouldn't be legal as more people will die... LMFAO what a dumb bitch. Weed kills hardly anyone unless your allergic to it and rarely impairs people enough to kill people. Why not talk about alcohol and it's dangerous effects? Man some people are so ignorant and stupid its just not funny anymore.. just sad.

Agreed. We should have much harsher sentences for driving under the influence, and loss of driving privileges should last longer and there should be less offenses before they're permanently revoked.

When will people learn?

Good point, ban alcohol. (Granted, there have been more marijuana-related deaths than just that and part of the reason why marijuana-related deaths are low is because it's banned.)

Sadly, we've learned that if you try to ban alcohol, the crazed addicts will just prop up mobsters and other violent criminals in order to get their fix until the government has to relent.
Banning it will never work, all we can do is severely punish its misuse. Increasing the tax on it wouldn't hurt, either. apparently taxes on alcohol haven't kept up w/ inflation and thus the % of taxes on alcohol are almost nothing compared to the cost of the product now. We should cigarette law this shit, impose huge tax levies on it. If nothing else, it'll make it way more expensive to binge drink.

And marijuana being illegal really hasn't impacted its spread much. It in particular is just too easy to grow and distribute, compared to say...meth (kaboom!)
there's probably a few other DUI deaths caused by marijuana, but it's still going to be 1/10000 th of the alcohol DUIs.

I like that tax idea. And agree with your weed points. You get it.

the biggest difference between alcohol and weed is that every agrees alcohol can be bad and lead to bad things sometimes. there's a 24/7 legion of fucking stupid stoners that just wait for somebody to bash weed then link dump all the health benefits despite them using it recreationally... and missing the point when stuff like this happens.

Those people were stupid before the started smoking pot.

Yeah, so, a big fuck you to anyone who wants to ban alcohol? This is America you fascist fucks. Drinking whiskey on the rocks while I clean my AK-47 is an important part of my life. It's like yoga or some gay shit like that for me.

Almost everything banned props up criminal enterprise, but that's not an argument to unban it. The solution to violent child trafficking rings isn't to regulate child prostitution.

You could *also* regulate the fuck out of it. Only allow people to drink *at* bars and push for more qualified bartenders who, in addition to everything else, would be empowered to detain drunks.

However, banning it *could* work. The way that they chose to ban it was pretty much the worst way imaginable so it failed (not to mention that law enforcement wasn't nearly as coordinated at the time). A more realistic approach would be a gradual scaling series of restrictions until people are weaned off the bottle -- although you'd also want international cooperation.

Because alcohol use is probably a thousand times more prevalent.

Uhhhhh pretty sure waaaaaaaay more people use weed than meth lol. Half the people I work with smoke pot and I have never known a meth user. Weed is not going to kill you or make you kill people, maybe the odd dumbass like you that smokes weed will do something stupid that could harm or kill someone but that's rare.

These anti smoking folk will use anything and everything to try and get things banned. I however don't think marijuana should be banned. It should be made legal and taxed just as tobacco is. If folk want to smoke these drugs that should be their choice.

Before Marijuana was made legal in any state it was the #1 cash crop in America. You are kidding yourself if you think no one does it because its illegal. You are also listing a ton of drugs that are way less commonly used, I have never met someone that used meth or heroin meanwhile I know about 40-50 people that have or still use weed.
