“so predictable. Liberals NEVER think through the consequences of their policies.”

1. Driving Under the Influence was illegal before the marijuana law and is still illegal after the marijuana law.

2. There is no evidence from the article that the driver just recently started smoking marijuana when it became legal.

Personally, I am not sure what I think of legalizing marijuana. On one hand, I don’t see why an adult shouldn’t be able to use it responsibly in the privacy of his home. On the other hand, you don’t want children having easier access to it and turning into zombies before their brains get a chance to develop. That said, let’s not sensationalize stories that probably have nothing to do with the law.

Facts are stupid things.

Kids started reporting several years ago that they could get pot more easily than they could get cigarettes or beer. It appears that the most effective way to keep pot out of kids' hands is to legalize it for adults - so sellers have an incentive not to sell to kids (namely, the loss of their legal adult sales).
