Is there any way for a police officer to know how much pot someone has smoked (or whether they have smoked at all) before the person got behind the wheel? With alcohol, they can do a breathalizer. Also, some people may smoke a small amount and be perfectly fine, but they smell like Cheech Marin. How do you decide if they are "too stoned" to operate a vehicle?

I don't know about putting it up there next to the Marlboros - just don't cite or bust people for it. If people want to grow some - I don't see a problem with that either.
If people smoke pot and become unproductive, fire them. Then there will be greater opportunities for people who make better lifestyle choices.
We should be able reduce the size of the DEA, Coast Guard, and law enforcement overall.
Greater personal responsibilty and smaller government.

Good question? I'm sure we will have a good answer from the pro-drug side. They have all the answers.

Unfortunately - in the age of systemic policy failure - you get to a point where you don't need answers.
Just a promise of change will suffice.
