14. Agree it's bad to mix smoking with driving, but--

--IMO, what is vastly more dangerous is for people like me (highly sensitive to the soporific effects of cannabis) to use any strain with significant amounts of gamma-cannabinoids or cannabinol. You can get CBD extracts online because CBD is not psychoactive, but as you might guess from the name, an extract with cannabidiol is also likely to contain cannabinol, and they don't test for it. That's why I ingest my CBD right before bedtime only.

It isn't at all clear how dangerous THC itself is, given that the 44% figure given might merely reflect byproducts in a driver impaired by alcohol or lack of sleep. Drunk drivers will be in the HOV lane doing 90, and stoned drivers in the slow lance doing 45. The latter isn't safe, but probably not as bad as the formern.
