Just like swimmers and other old atheletes, when you call Jack by any other name IT STILL HAS NUTS!

Following the release of a new study showing that almost half of drivers involved in fatal vehicle accidents in a large Ohio county tested positive for marijuana use, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated Tuesday that the continued push in the U.S. to legalize the drug is “dangerous.”
Last week, the results of a study were released that examined the coroner records of drivers who were killed in fatal car accidents in a major county in Ohio from January 2019 to September 2024. It found that 41.9% of the drivers tested positive for active delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana that is responsible for causing intoxicating effects.
Akpofure Ekeh, the lead author of the study who serves as a professor of Surgery at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, remarked that he was “surprised” to see such a high percentage of drivers testing positive for a significantly high level of THC. “An average level of 30.7 ng/mL generally means those people must have consumed marijuana at some time close to driving,” he explained. “This isn’t about residual use; it’s about recent consumption.”
