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...

Alcohol is legal. That doesn't mean I'm going to come into work drunk.
With one noteable exception here, it seems this is a non-issue. Those who want to smoke want it leagalized, those who don't smoke don't care if it's illegal or want it legalized to reduce the waste of tax monies to fight it. Maybe someday the politicians in both Canada and America will get a clue.
