Pot smokers.

I tried pot once, and I was told I didn't inhale. Being a non-smoker, because my entire family were addicted cigarette chain smokers whom I did not want to emulate, I was smart enough to comprehend that having a stinky tobacco stick in my mouth did not make me cool.

Otherwise, I'm pro Mary Jane.

One lung, working at ~50% efficiency, is a good motivator to not smoke anything.

I am not going to lie, I smoke cigarettes. But my argument isn't about destroying one's own health. My argument with any drug, is against the morons who want to project their risk taking on others. I hate the idiots who drink and drive and smoke pot and drive. It isn't the drinking or smoking by itself, but the assholes who put other's lives at risk thinking nothing bad will ever happen.

I have been a passenger in cars with both drunk people and pot smokers, and believe me, they fool themselves. 

Plenty of times when I wanted to meet friends at a bar, I tell them I would take a cab. I always hated it when they got annoyed when I wanted to take a cab home. I asked them if they were going to drink, they'd say yes, then get annoyed that I was going to take a cab home. 

Pot should be legal, but it should be treated like any drug and driving.

Didn't disagree.

Didn't disagree.

Wasn't claiming anyone reading this was.

But I do outside this thread run into idiots who say, "I know what I am doing" on both pot and booze.

My point is the same with anything, legal or illegal, regardless of location law, if it can hinder your perception it is worthy of regulation in regards of public interaction, such as driving or being on the job. 

Planes are not likely to crash, but nobody would think it would be ok for a passenger jet pilot to be drunk or high on pot when flying.

Do you know if DUI laws in the US include marijuana? I expect that even if it's completely legal, there are still restrictions on how fucked up you can be when you're driving.

[The Grand Nudger]

Varies by state. Here it's illegal to drive with any measurable amount of thc in your system - there's no test currently available to determine whether or not a user is intoxicated.

As a consequence of this, if johnny law really wanted to fuck somebody, he could make a dui charge stick today over a few bowls a month ago. Rock and a hard place, really, because until such time as the industry has some standard, so that we can determine a standard dose's effects, and it's effects on different people, there's no real way to credibly regulate what very much should be regulatable behavior - but those laws are themselves an almost uniformly steaming pile of abusive drug war horseshit that's used for exactly what you think it is, and not to regulate those behaviors.
