Nevada’s marijuana fiasco will only get worse with pot lounges

I have been watching Nevada’s pot fiasco for the past year. Drunken drivers in Las Vegas are bad enough; now we have pot drivers.

I smoked in Vietnam and for 10 years after. I was given the decision to stop or divorce. I am glad I stopped, as my brain was going downhill. It was difficult to drive more than 35 mph in a 70 mph zone, and I would begin braking for red lights a mile away.

Now Las Vegas is pondering pot lounges like Amsterdam. Luckily most of them are on bicycles.
