Well, looking back over it, no, they do not appear to be counting deaths due to operation of heavy machinery, but rather toxicity-related deaths. They're also not counting any deaths from ill-advised fights that got started after too many brews, either.

I don't think stoned driving is a sufficiently compelling reason to keep marijuana smoking illegal in this country. Remember, when we put someone in jail it costs a minimum of $20k per year to keep the fed and locked down. You need a pretty good justification to cost me and mine that much money.
