oh and you’re actually suggesting that it’s safe to drive after smoking a bowl of ultra potent weed huh?

Assuming this post is intended for me, I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. It's not safe to drive while impaired regardless. I'm only saying that impairment by marijuana is far less dangerous than impairment by alcohol.

If we must outlaw marijuana, why shouldn't we outlaw a much more dangerous drug -- alcohol?

False dillema. Alcohol is not more dangerous than marijuana. Alcohol abuse is more widespread because alcohol use is legal and tolerated. Alcohol causes more problems than marijuana because it's used much more frequently than marijuana. Once the weed genie is let out of the bottle, we'll see how benign it really is or isn't. But I think any rational person would conclude that as marijuana use increases, we will see an increase in deleterious effects related to its use on both the individual user and on society as a whole.

American culture is already in decline. I see no reason to hasten that decline by submitting to this evil. Again, I don't think lives should be ruined over it but I don't think we should remove the legal prohibition against its use. we should not uncork the genie's bottle if you will because genies have a way of giving you more than you bargained for.
