Well, just saw Obama comment on the issue and he said the feds have bigger fish to fry then to worry about recreational pot smoking and that the states have already spoken. Expect other states to follow suit now that he has made this statement.
I saw the same thing....in 2008.
Not a user, won't be when it becomes legal but aside from the fact alcohol causes more issues, I support legalization because we expend mega bucks chasing MJ down. We could not win the war on alcohol with a constitutional amendment, we won't win the war on MJ.
Uhhh.. it wasn't legalized in 2008
Legalize it in Michigan. It will change the entire tone of the union protests.
It was, medicinaly, in CA.
Yet he had 4 times more DEA raids in 4 years, than Bush had in 8 years.
Sort of torn here. While we have an easy way to test a person who will be operating machinery for recent alcohol use, as far as I know, we have nothing like that for MJ, and thats a problem. Trucking companies, and places with machinery, or folks who work in say aviation, we really need to know that our coworkers were not blazing up at lunchtime.
I'm not convinced current law is doing anything to prevent people that operate machinery while under the influence of pot.

But is not being able to check for use a valid reason for not allowing the use? Besides, one thing that the US is known for is finding ways to assist LE. (Breathalyzers, radar detectors, red light cameras...)
