      I honestly … for calling me “car brained”. That insult hurt me more than any other I’ve received. I want to protect pedestrians and cyclists from people driving cars under the influence. I want to limit driving people’s freedom to make life better for everyone.

        That’s honestly a very odd reaction, for what it’s worth I meant it lightheartedly.

        Of course I think pedestrians and cyclists also deserve safety.

        I would like to point out however that a majority of incidents are drunk drivers who do not already have a device like that in their car, so it’s a tad bit absurd to indicate your hard line for legalization is that when it would only apply after the fact anyway.

          Sorry, that was too rude, I just got really upset… It’s odd, I’ve never really gotten angry at internet comments until now.

          I just wanted to point out my single issue with weed, which is more an issue with car centric infrastructure.

            Nothing you said was rude. In fact everything you said was correct on all counts. I think the other person was just joking

              I edited my comment. I said that I despised them and said “fuck you”. Not that bad, but I changed it to be a little less abrasive.

      I don’t think this is “car brained”. They’re not saying anything around public transit, just that we need to have a test for DWI and weed. People shouldn’t be jailed for 30 years regardless of the presence of the test or not, but we do still need some other test. Otherwise I guarantee that “don’t drive while baked” will be the next infomercial you see in a few years.

        Missing the point a bit, we shouldn’t base legalization around if people are going to drive their cars on a substance.
