		<description><![CDATA[With the legalization of marijuana, more people will be smoking marijuana, so drugged driving will likely increase. The marijuana lobby likes to suggest that more people smoking weed will mean fewer people drinking – therefore, less drunk driving. But researchers say there’s no evidence of that. So, we will probably have an increase in drugged driving while drinking and driving remains the same. If so, it follows that drinking and drugging while driving may increase. That’s not a good situation, to put it mildly. <a href="http://atodblog.com/2012/12/17/legalization-may-mean-more-drugged-driving-and-more-drunk-drugged-driving/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=atodblog.com&#038;blog=14805076&#038;post=762&#038;subd=atodblog&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, people who go to AA couldn’t care less about the research; they just know what works for them. True, AA doesn’t work for everybody. But then, many treatments for other chronic diseases work for some but not others. We know alcoholism is a chronic disease.
