By 'effect', I mean impairment of reasoning and mechanical skills. IIRC, the study was performed on a variety of users who used marijuana from once a month to once a day.

A drug rehab clinic did a study with people who use once a month? I'm a mechanic and have often used pot the day before work and didn't suffer this "impairment", but critics would say I didn't know I was impaired, lol.By 'effect', I mean impairment of reasoning and mechanical skills.

This is what actor Paul Sorvino just said on "Politically Incorrect". And this is just as absurd as O'Reilly's claim! Well, maybe not as absurd, but an exaggeration nonetheless. If we accept that if 40 -50%If we legalize drugs now, 85% of crime will stop tomorrow
of all crime is drug-related - possession, buying, selling - and another 10-15% from the black market - gangs, Mafia, property crimes - then we are left with crimes committed by drug users who act "because" of the drug's influence in addition to ALL the crime that is not drug-related.
Of course, most of the crime in this country is probably stuff like littering, drunk driving, pollution, etc... But I'm sure these are not included in crime stats anyway.Comment
