Of all the many, many duh "science" reports we've heard, this might be the duh-est: according to a new study published in the British Medical Journal, smoking pot within three hours of driving more than doubles your chance of getting into a car accident. Future reports from these researchers include, "Smoking Pot Increases Chance Of Hunger," "Smoking Pot Increases Insights, Man," and "Is Nicholas Cage Really A Civil War-Era Vampire?"
"The level of impairment might not be as severe as alcohol intoxication, but it's there and it does require a public health response," expert Wayne Hall said.

Researchers found drivers who had used marijuana within three hours of beginning to drive had nearly double the risk of causing a collision, especially those that were fatal. From what we understand though, Professor Wiz Khalifa greatly disputes these findings.
