I gotta agree with Crippecreek on this one. Should it be decriminalized? Yeah, absolutely. But that doesn't mean you should be allowed to drive while under it's influence. Just because I have the right to go buy some Rolling Rocks does not mean I have the right to endanger other people because I lacked the responsiblity and maturity to not drive while intoxicated.

When he got behind the wheel, he crossed a line, and he should be punished for that.

I had to make a choice in life after I got two drunk driving arrests over a period of years. I could either quit drinking or I could quit driving. Driving was more important.

Yep I agree.

If some guy wants to sit home on his day off watch sports eat tons of junk food while being mentally slow and enjoying pot like a good cigar his biz.

Just as long as he doesn't drive or show up stoned on the job just like booze.

In moderation of course.

If something has to be decriminalized, then, by definition, it is criminal NOW. Either the law matters or it doesn't.
