Your going to have a bunch of stoned drivers looking for an open 7-11 to cure their munchies...I wonder what the different reflex time is between being stoned and being not stoned when driving...Don’t think we need to add people stoned on pot to our problem with drinking and driving..jmho

I understand your concern, and there are lots of ways to respond to that - the most relevant probably that there are already laws in place in most locales that prohibit impaired driving.

However, my bigger point is to say that I have no problem with states handling this as they please. The federal government does not have the power to prohibit the individual intrastate use of a product or substance. They can no more constitutionally prevent you from using marijuana than they can prevent you from using a lightbulb manufactured within your own state. However, that's exactly what they're doing.
