Drugged Driving Must Stop


Drugged Driving Must Stop
The Issue
https://youtu.be/poKD1HRF76E?si=kzZLx-s8u0ar9qHG
Drugged driving needs to be stopped. There are so many loopholes in the system. My Brother Raymond Hubbard was killed by a drugged driver that was high on marijuana. He was in his wheelchair crossing the street when he fell out and was struck. He was killed by a driver who admitted that he had smoked marijuana. So many people have lost their lives because the system is broken, and laws allow people to get away with it. I want to bring light to this flaw in our legal system. We need to hold people who decide to break the law accountable. Marijuana might be legal but operating a vechicle under the influence of marijuana is illegal. Let's make a change now. Action needs to be taken immediately to enforce these laws.Let's get justice for Raymond. His life mattered just like your life matters.
We ask that you sign this petition in support of proposed legislation by our state assembly and senate.
We are looking to deliver these signatures to the Assembly Transportation Committee in support of Bill
2023-A174.
