things that have already been stated:
In amsterdam, where pot IS legal, fewer people ABUSE pot than in the UK where it is ILLEGAL.
i'm sure there would be a huge boost in use _initially_, but that's why there are drug/driving laws; to protect non users who choose not to use drugs, from being harmmed by careless drivers.
pot should be legal, considering the recent research on how it is incredibly LESS harmful than was thought. with gov't supervision, an easily administered breath test for drivers suppected of driving under the influence of THC, and simple harm reduction techniques used by many european nations, it would be far safer than thought.
If the government body is watching the drugs, they will be safe, taxable, and profitable for many industries far beyond first thought.
this isnt an argument for ANYONE to use drugs, (that was never my intention) but rather a motivation for people to think differntly and possitively for the possible quality control and public understanding of *fairly* harmless drugs.
things to note: it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to Overdose on THC; your lungs would collapse before you smoked too much pot.
