Absolutely. Foremost, the governments job is to keep everything ticking along. My issue is with the politicians who vote against the will of the majority of the people, when it has no impact on keeping the gears turning.
Legalising weed would do nothing but good for our economy, numerous countries have already proved that. If I can step over them and skip months of bickering back and forth (so they can go back to arguing about how to improve things), I’m going to step over them.
If the people voted to legalise weed, the government would be scrambling to figure out how to test if people are high when driving. What’s an acceptable amount of weed in your system and can the police run accurate, cheap tests.
I don’t think the amount of people getting high will change much. It’s pretty easy to find weed wherever you go. All this will do is remove the black market, and provide high-quality weed for cheaper prices.
No studies have been able to show [canabis impairment] increases the actual risk of crashing, or that drivers with THC in their blood cause a disproportionate number of crashes.
It seems redundant to worry about it. Alcohol is worth testing for, the physiological impairment is dangerous (blacking out, blurred vision), and drunk people make riskier decisions.
The difference is now the police can charge people if they detect any cannabis in their system. If it were legal, there would need to be an acceptable level and ways for the police and the public to determine if they are over that level.
While several studies have shown increased risk associated with cannabis use by drivers, other studies have not found increased risk.
From that same wikipedia article. It sounds like there’s no general consensus.
