Denver Post, 26 Apr 2013 – Re: "Stoned-driving bill fizzles," April 23 news story. The well-financed, organized, slick and powerful marijuana drug lobby has once again flexed its political muscle in a cowering, bought and paid-for Colorado Senate. Killing the public safety bill to establish an impaired standard for driving under the influence of marijuana is a cowardly abrogation of responsibility by the Senate Democrats and a craven surrender of their duty to protect the public. The whole point of "recreational" marijuana is to "get high," to alter consciousness, yet the Colorado Senate cannot bring itself to impose even watered-down standards to keep impaired drivers off the roads. This is as shameful as it gets.
