Your scenario involves questions of liability in vehicular accidents where the vehicle operator - presumably your employee - was intoxicated at the time of the accident, and I assume therefore bears the responsibility for the accident.
Operating a vehicle in an intoxicated state seems to be the issue here. Does it make a material difference if the vehicle's operator became intoxicated from alcohol or marijuana?
To: ridesthemiles
Alcohol is legal.
You can fire someone for abusing alcohol.
Your point is invalid.

I dont see a single insurance carrier in the world carrying any insurance coverage for any business if the drivers cannot be fired, or suspended for marijuana usage. The driving-impairing drug alcohol is legal, yet businesses can get insurance coverage.

On the other hand, Obama is headed for a cliff, and even long time trolls who have been just smart enough to keep their heads down for a long time, mayhap they are starting to come unwired?
Is this "Kill 'em all" trolling a feeble attempt to put a turd in the punch bowl?

What this country needs are more people too cowardly to face reality. They'll be braver if we keep marijuana illegal? Would they become braver still if we re-banned the drug alcohol?

Just as we do with inebriates, we can have severe penalties in place for operating under the influence of marijuana. Legalizing this mild drug should reduce somewhat the recent rise of totalitarianism in this country.

“Yes, a murderous, totalitarian government is really what we need.”
We’ve had that for years.

I know brilliant older men who drink beer every day and work hard, whose brain remains sharp. Not so with marijuanathey become really goofy and lazy. Firstly, because marijuana is illegal its users don't advertise their use, so the only ones whose use becomes known to you are the goofy and lazy ones.
Secondly, it's at least as likely that any cause and effect relationship runs the opposite way: that people who are already goofy and lazy are likelier than average to turn to marijuana use.

Authoritarians come in all flavors. And yes, it baffles me to that many here on FR claim to be for freedom and the pursuit of happiness, but then want to control people who are stupid enough to drug themselves.

Legalization brings regulation, Which is worse than prohibition how?
taxation
If this is an argument for keeping illegal things illegal, it's equally an argument for making legal taxable things illegal.
and corruption.
Whereas no corruption results from the prohibition of marijuana?

Socialist and nihilistic cultures have to promote a society with a comatose mind, so they are easily manipulated and too lazy to protest. If it is legal, they can get more young people addicted-the way they did with alcohol. So should alcohol be banned?

(Its not important enough for me to waste my time arguing about) But it was important enough for you to waste your time posting ignorant easily-rebutted twaddle?
Now go bother someone else.
Rebutting your ignorant twaddle is "bothering" you? Have a hankie. And next time, stay out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat.

No. People will get tired of the potheads disturbing their lives and robbing them, just like last time.

Not following this thread but just scrolling past your comments:
Firstly, because marijuana is illegal its users don't advertise their use...had me ROTFLMAO!
Having reached adulthood in the mid-sixties when penalties were greater, people volunteered their use of marihootchie, as if the smell that permeated their clothes, hair, and lungs wasn't a dead give away. And the more powerful versions of the last few decades are even more aromatic.
Co-workers who stepped out for a J always thought they were pulling a fast one on the rest of us in much the same way the three vodka martini lunch crowd thought their breathe was sweet. And coincidentally work performance for both classes was sub-par and mistake ridden, standing in stark contrast to their delusional self image.
Thanks for Mr Natural recollections and the chuckles.
Keep on truckin' dude...hahahaha
