I think the lawmakers here are maybe not considering all of the consequences.
Yes a bike won’t be able to cause as much damage to another biker or a vehicle if they don’t stop at a stop sign and then hit one.
Especially when compared to a vehicle hitting another vehicle.
But those aren’t the only two things at a stop sign or intersection. There are also pedestrians crossing the street, often with aight telling them that it is safe to do so. People with disabilities like blindness, people with children, etc.
What happens if there is a line of vehicles to the left of the bike lane blocking the view of the cyclist and they keep going straight since it’s a three way intersection, no road on the right so no vehicles to even worry about, and then a mother with a baby in a carriage steps out from in front of the vehicle at the front?
Sure a bike won’t do as much damage as a vehicle, but it can still certainly do a lot of damage in the right circumstances.
Only time I’ve ever felt anything at all was when I had a 50mg gummy. Even then it was pretty mild.
Although I don’t get anything from smoking either.
