[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when long-term marijuana use studies come out, we’re going to have a lot of regrets about legalizing it.[/quote]

Both Colorado and California and rethinking legalization as they have had a few decades to see the amazing affects on the general population.  [/quote]
Realistically what tools are there to reserve course on behavior and culture other than serious prison time for "nonviolent" offenders?[/quote]

Are you okay with alcohol users getting the same treatment? Because it's the same problem...[/quote]

I’m not the poster you quoted, but marijuana isn’t the same as alcohol.

For one thing, marijuana smoke affects non-smokers in the vicinity.  Have you ever heard of secondhand alcohol?

For another, while driving impaired is dangerous, whether under the influence of alcohol or marijuana, alcohol has a legal, quantifiable threshold to determine impairment and there are precise, objective ways to measure that (making enforcement more practical, which hopefully, provides some measure of deterrence).  Marijuana impairment, on the other hand, can only be judged subjectively.  The only deterrent a marijuana user has to driving impaired is whether in their impaired judgment, their judgment has been impaired.  They don’t have to wonder what their blood levels would be, because they have absolutely no idea, but they know the police won’t either.[/quote]
