Yup. Same way you would if they were drunk. There ARE ways to tell if a person is stoned that are admissable in court, and they are prosecuted just like a drunk, so that argument there is moot.

I'm not a stoner, heck I rarely even drink, but I have no problem with the legalization of MJ. I say, tax the crap out of it, and leave my paycheck alone.

I do know what you are saying..but I do have to add that people high on marijuana are mopre likely to be going below the speed limit :)


But there are fairly accurate field tests..pupil sizes..etc to determine what people are high on..if everything else has been ruled out..and blood tests indicate marijuana is in the system..I think that would be a logical way to charge someone with being DUI

One wrong doesn't make another right. Just because drunk driving is an issue doesn't mean some stoner has the right to do the same on a continual basis.

No one is advocating that it be legal to drive stoned. It is illegal just as driving under the influence of any drug is.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be up for medicinal usage just not full-fledged legalization. The discussion started to trend towards full-fledged legalization. I think we're a long way away from that if it ever happens whatsoever.

Though I think legalization is a neat idea..im with ya on medicinal usage...I think it may be helpful..and why keep that from someone who may benefit?

no, it should not be legal. I hate potheads. They are so stupid.

I believe it should only be used for medical purposes only. Cancer patients can benefit from it.
