IMO, levying fines is analogous to taxing, except that it sends a message that the government doesn't support or condone the behavior. I think that's a positive step.

Completely legalizing pot may give some people a legal leg to stand on when they come to work high. Hmm, maybe it's time to criminalize (as in, levying small fines) tobacco...
