"Marijuana use dropped over 60% from its high point in 1979."

- Legalize it, and it will be back up that 60% and then some in no time at all.
Decriminalization (for use, not trafficking) is one thing, but legalization is quite another.
If I was an employer for an airline, bus company or subway line, I'd want to know if the prospective driver or pilot sitting in front of me at the interview had been fined for cannabis usage.
As a potential passenger on an airplane, bus or subway, I'm sure you'd want me to know before you used my company's services.

"Legalize it, and it will be back up that 60% and then some in no time at all."

At least. It was at that level when it was illegal.

In today's society, legalization carries with it an implied societal acceptance. People have the attitude of, "Hey, it's legal, I can do it, and don't you impose your morals on me."

How many times have we heard or read, "Yes, I did that. But it's not illegal!" Like that's the only standard.
