Legalize it and the illegal trade of it dies along with the violence. You might not care about the violence since it's just scum killing scum but it puts innocent civilians at risk and wastes tons of time and money from the DEA.
If you think people are just going to do it anyway, which they are, then the government might as well make a profit from lowering crime. God knows America needs all the money it can get to get some proper social benefits for the people.

"driving while high is about as dangerous as driving while you're sleepy."
Driving while tired is the same as driving with a .10 BAC.
If driving while high is as dangerous as driving while tired, then it is most definitely dangerous.
More dangerous, in fact, than the .08 BAC limit set by federal law.
Lol, facts.

The long term effects of smoking weed regularly make you into a moron. Just like alcohol it will be abused and cause more problems than its worth. My uncles brother in law smoked it since he was a teenager and now he can barely string a coherant sentance together, like he's mentally disabled.
The point is Law as an absolute arbiter in social life should decide for private living quality in such depth or leave some aspect to personal decisions?
Then why not ban Alcohol my friend?
We tried this before in the US. The ending result was organized crime for alcohol that makes today's gangs that handle drugs look like kids playing cops and robbers. People will do anything to get their drink on in the US.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your bitterness, I will dispel
Indeed. In any case, I'd still rather ban alcohol than legalise weed.
Wow, that's saying something.
While it would be very liberal of governments to legalize it, some countries will never accept it. I don't know why so many people feel that alcohol isn't good enough. I mean if vomiting is the problem, then the solution is easy, know your limit.
Still legalizing marijuana might decrease necessities for other drugs and seeing how marijuana isn't lethal as most of the other drugs it might decrease drug related deaths.

i respectfully disagree. granted, individual tolerance for thc is a variable, if you were to do a 'lab' test where you have one driver consume .125 oz of marijuana, and have a second driver consume 3 or 4 drinks over the span of 2 hours, then have each driver attempt to drive on the same course, i can nearly guarantee that the stoned guy is going to do a better job than the tipsy guy. a blood-alcohol level of .10 would impair most people to the point of slurring speech, slight unbalance, and slight visual obscurity....the only comparison of those symptoms with a marijuana high would be possible visual obscurity from very squinty eyes
