Pot Holiday Linked To An Increase In Traffic Fatalities

[WhatInThe]

The study lacks evidence on whether pot was involved in any of the April 20 crashes ...

Well, gee, I'm glad the analysis was so carefully planned.

Besides everything else that's wrong with this study, this article is nearly 5 years old! Why bring it up now?
