And the War on Drugs leads to a whole other set of problems.
I’m all for states’ rights on this - lets run some experiments and see which policies work out best on the whole.
I haven’t read the article yet, but if marijuana DUIs increased as a proportion, did the total number of DUIs increase accordingly?

Oh, right there in the first paragraph - traffic fatalities have gone down since 2007. What did they do in the last year?
To: DouglasKC
It is good that a State has opportunity to test legalization. There is a problem, however, when using the words “marijuana related,” namely that, just because the substance is involved does not mean it is a *cause.* Of course it will be more prevalent in accompanying various incidents in life because it is more widely used by the population. Beware the circular argument.
If marijuana causes the population to be overly lazy, irresponsible, immoral, and less proficient when operating a motor vehicle, this is a problem. But it is a difficult problem to measure honestly.

When in 2012 did MJ become legally available, and for what ages. Has there been any change in various comparable rates for alcohol use/intoxication alone. Also, what about other rates, like assault, domestic violence, etc. In isolated Barrow Alaska, alcoholic beverages were outlawed completely, and police needs reduced by 70%. I knew someone, now dead of respiratory failure, who had crack addiction. He said he wished MJ was easier to get than crack, as he would prefer it.

Much like the Gov is religion to some, Marijuana is to others.

When I think of “harmful side effects,” the opposite of the above applies. I know you are being sarcastic, but it is those indicators we should consider [productivity, health, grammar]. If I were going to argue against free, unrestricted use of MJ it would be on the basis of civil negatives such as increased laziness, illiteracy, theft, murder, adultery and the like. I think it is a somewhat dangerous road to go down if we would prohibit it’s use because abuses result in bad health, yet the side effects healthwise should be understood and communicated: this much and no more.
We will never put a solid lid on aberrant behavior, but it is prudent to understand it, point it out, and avoid it.
