I think the major safety factor is being overlooked entirely. I agree impairment is a major factor... particularly with the cyclists usage. But in my decades of experience... I've never known of anyone that forewent pot use because of fear of criminal penalty. Never.
The true risk factor in cycling is traffic related. Simply... the size, weight, mass of the cars/trucks/busses we share the roads with... tilt the risk against us cyclists. I can't see where ANYTHING changes by having legal sales of a drug already in widespread use. The math... just does NOT change when pot distributors become registered with the state.
Risk is nether higher... or lower.
