Is a stoned driver safer than a drunk?

Pot smokers get into fewer deadly car crashes than beer drinkers, a new study finds, although its authors say the conclusion shouldn't be seen as encouragement to smoke marijuana and drive.
Your car insurance company certainly isn't cutting stoners a break.
The study found that in the 16 states where medical marijuana is legal, there has been nearly a 9 percent drop in traffic deaths since the laws took effect and a 5 percent drop in beer sales. Marijuana and alcohol are substitutes for each other, the researchers found, with fewer people drinking alcohol in states with medicinal marijuana. Pot use, however, increases.
"Use of marijuana, in general, increases in states that have medical marijuana laws," says D. Mark Anderson, an assistant professor of economics at Montana State University and co-author of the study with Daniel Rees, an economics professor at the University of Colorado Denver.
It's unclear why pot smoking is linked to fewer traffic fatalities, Anderson says."

Thousands of Colo. marijuana applications on hold
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, December, 12th 2011 by THCFinder
DENVER | Some 4,200 medical marijuana applications in Colorado are on hold at the state health department while investigators look at possible fraud.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced Friday that marijuana registry applications from certain physicians are on hold after law enforcement officials witnessed potential patients being seen by someone other than a physician. Colorado law requires a "bona fide" doctor-patient relationship before a physician can recommend marijuana pot for certain ailments.
The health department did not say which doctors were under investigation, or how law enforcement came to find out about the possible fraud. The agency said only that certain physicians would be contacted to confirm they examined would-be patients and signed their recommendations.
State lawmakers tightened physician requirements for medical marijuana cards in 2010 after concerns about possible fraud. Colorado now requires that a physician perform a personal physical examination of a would-be patient, keep records of the visit and offer follow-up care.
The health department said Friday that the applicants on hold will receive an answer by the end of January.
The head of the department, Dr. Chris Urbina, acknowledged in a statement Friday that some patients have seen lengthy delays. But he said the review is necessary to make sure all the pending recommendations meet medical muster.
"The investigation was necessary to maintain the integrity of the Medical Marijuana Registry," Urbina's statement said.
Urbina went on, "The exposure of this fraud should lead marijuana registry applicants to take care to ensure that they are seen and examined by a physician if they intend to apply to the medical marijuana registry."
