Actually it is as dangerous but it's fine to leave it to the states.

What about employers that have zero tolerance? Now you have a bunch of unemployed potheads.

What about driving? What is the limit for under the influence? What jurisdictions have the ability to test for that?

2 recent cases here in Smalltown,USA where drivers were under the influence of pot only killed someone, one victim a mother pushing her twins in a stroller.

A large majority of arresstees for violent and property crimes have THC in their systems.

Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin were frequent users and had THC in their systems at the time they committed assault.

Good questions. Like I said I am not a legalization advocate, just kind of meh on the issue.

Employees have a right to fire potheads and legalization does not change this. No illegal is not the same as a civil right. Driving: is there any way to test for pot intoxication? It stays in your system for like a month from what I understand so a positive urine test is pretty meaningless. But yes, driving high is like driving drunk.

As for the association with criminals, I think it is a case of correlation not meaning causation. Potheads are generally harmless while high, they just sit there, babble nonsense, and stare at their hands. It is just that the kind of people who commit crimes are also the kind that often smoke weed.

Thanks to prohibition they weren't able to get enough to sedate themselves! If they had lived in a sane society they could have supplied all they needed in their garden. They would be alive today.
