People need to look at what was happening here. Whether pot is legal or illegal, the man would have been breaking the law to be smoking pot behind the wheel.
Also if pot were legal, would esctasy? Cocaine? Heroin? LSD? STP? GHB? Hashish?
If pot is legalized, (and "taxed"), would the ATF replace the DEA for enforcement?
"Solving" one problem begets another. None of my discussion even addresses possible health effects, car accidents (DUI), or underage use. I don't even want to get into that (personal responsibility addresses some of that).
Absolutely! Assuming hamppu were legal, in a case like this, both infractions would be treated equally, if in fact they were both just sitting there not driving.
I recall some articles posted here sbout folks busted for drinking or being drunk in their cars on their own driveways.
Used to be, in Texas, IIRC, you could drink alcohol while driving, is that still true?
