As part of legalization, I’d like to see strict testing and heavy penalties for impaired driving, and mandatory screening for certain jobs. And significantly harsher penalties for more powerful drugs.

Great. I get your point. But just so ya know - the War on Drugs continues.

I know you were not making the point either for or against the WOD, but it bears mentioning that legal weed only adds to laws, taxes, regulations and penalties regarding marijuana.

Especially taxes. The primary reason for states to legalize pot is for more taxes. And we all know that more taxes equals more spending.

So conservatives should favor banning everything that is or could be taxed?
