Oh my.
If someone takes their medicine and drives, they’ll be in trouble?

I can tell you from personal experience, some legal prescription opioids have labels that say you should wait and see how you feel before driving or operating dangerous equipment. Doesn’t prohibit it. Just cautions you.
I imagine medical marijuana might have similar cautions

If someone takes their medicine and drives, they’ll be in trouble?Don't be obtuse. There are already laws on the books for driving while impaired with legally prescribed medication.
Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
The offense of driving under the influence, or DUI, typically relates to alcohol intoxication. But alcohol is just one of countless substances that can impair one's ability to operate a motor vehicle. Driving under the influence of drugs -- including prescription medications as well as illegal drugs -- can also result in DUI charges.
Mixing drugs and driving, whether it's medicinal marijuana or legally prescribed muscle relaxers, is just as illegal as driving drunk and can also constitute a DUI offense. Doctor's orders are no defense to drugged driving charges.
Your illustration is weak, futile and easily falls apart under scrutiny.

Seen any unmodified data out of Colorado since legalization?
200 million in tax revenue the first year to the state.
10% increase in traffic fatalities.
I’ll take safety over impairment any day.
But this gadget will never get wide use/distribution as the economic gain (i.e. - corruptocrat enrichment quotient) from taxing the stuff is too high.

Doesn’t matter if it’s medicinal or not. You can’t drive stoned. Lots of real medication has warning labels on it about not driving or operating heavy machinery while using it. You need to smoke for your ailments? Fine. Stay home or get a driver.

Most medications have an on label warning about driving. As the user of the drug and driver of the vehicle, it is your responsibility to not drive impaired. If you do, your driving privilege may be rescinded.

Yes. That’s a DUI under current law pretty much everywhere.
