I hope none of you do this, but I'll pass on the knowledge anyway.

I've just been to a European scientific conference on cannabis, where we were updated on certain aspects of the "cannabis debate".

One of these gave the results of tests regarding cannabis and driving. The extremely brief summary can be as follows:

1. People driving under the influence of alcohol have less control.
2. People driving under the influence of cannabis have less control, but many seem to be conscious of it and slow down accordingly.
3. People driving under the influence of cannabis and alcohol combined, even if small amounts, REALLY lose control.

Put that simply, it seems obvious - but the researchers were shocked at just how dangerous it was to mix the two. As some people on this board may like a drink and/or a puff, I thought I'd let you know about how bad it is to combine them and try to, erm, park your car afterwards.

How long did it take them to come to this (rather obvious) conclusion

Thats like the company I used to work for employing a team of 5 people to try and find out why everyone was leaving!?!

It was obvious to everyone that they were not paying enough...
