Not a pot smoker, never was but I weigh in on the legalization side. It just makes too much sense, see above.
As far as the DWI testing, a simple urine test and a drug strip has inherent problems because THC can stay in your system up to 30 days and a person could smoke a joint and 2 weeks later be caught for supposedly driving under the influence and the known drug tests won't work. There needs to be an effective test and cost effective but it can be done.
One last thought- I come from one of the reddest of the red states and yet the voters of the State narrowly voted down medical marijuana by a 51-49 vote and that was after the pharmaceutical industry spent a fortune in ads to try and defeat it. If our State could almost pass it and become the first State in the South to legalize marijuana for medical purposes, it is evident the tide is turning.
