On the market drugs that have identical effect as pot:

•Marinol (dronabinol) - Classified as Schedule III

•Cesamet (nabilone) - Classified as Schedule II

•Sativex (nabiximols)

This makes dosage scientific instead of the pot head excuses via vapor and puffery.

Also there are drugs which have seizures as a side effect that REQUIRE doctors to report.

it is very simple, no pot user in any shape or form should be driving at any time. period.

Remember, there are ALREADY drugs with the requisite ingredients

Really? Name them.

•Marinol (dronabinol) - Classified as Schedule III

•Cesamet (nabilone) - Classified as Schedule II

Those have only THC and none of the other active ingredients in pot.

•Sativex (nabiximols)

"The FDA has not approved Sativex® and the product is not available in the United States" - http://www.gwpharm.com/sativex-faqs.aspx

until they include automatic license suspension to those using “medical marajuana” this is still just a pothead issue.

Many medications warn 'do not drive after using' - how many of them lead to automatic license suspension?

Also there are drugs which have seizures as a side effect that REQUIRE doctors to report.

Does that reporting result in automatic license suspension? Does pot cause seizures?

it is very simple, no pot user in any shape or form should be driving at any time. period.

Nobody should drive while under the influence - but current law does not (with the possible exception of seizures) require automatic license suspension for any use of an impairing medicine.
