I'm not sure why you believe marijuana users are likely to endanger others. How many have you met? Police officers say marijuana users tend to be the easiest people to arrest -- they're less likely to fight or cause problems than drunk people or meth heads. The biggest effect this will have on our society is the dismantling of the Mexican drug cartels and the ending of the War on Drugs. This will obviate the need for hundreds of deaths and hundreds of thousands of arrests each year. A large percentage of the US population will no longer be criminals for recreationally using an intoxicant less harmful than any legal intoxicant, including alcohol.

  Driving drunk? Driving tired? Driving while talking on the phone? Driving stoned? Oh, you meant driving while impaired/distracted? Yes, that is always a bad idea. Which is why it is of course illegal.

  Which is much, much safer than driving drunk. Even then, it will be illegal drive while under the influence of marijuana. This is basically a Wont someone think of the children! type argument.

    No, it's more "OH GOD, WHAT ABOUT MURDER?! SHOULDN'T MURDER BE MADE ILLEGAL?! WHY ISN'T MURDER EVEN MORE ILLEGAL?!" type argument.

    If you think it's safe to drive while stoned, think again. Relative safety compared to driving drunk is not important, it's the absolute impairment level that is the key here. If anyone reading this is in the habit of driving around stoned, please stop before you kill or seriously injure yourself, someone important to you, or some random stranger. It's just not worth the risk.

    "Which is much, much safer than driving drunk." I support legalization, but these fabrications do not help anyone. DWI should remain illegal.
