So I'm asking with a sortof half open mind how would you implement legalizing marijuana?

It would have to be a system similar to that used for alcohol. No sale to minors (though they'd get it anyway, as they do now), probably no public use, restricted to the home and certain public places (I like the idea of being able to walk into a joint with a good reggae band and order a beer, a shot of tequila, and a fat one), etc. The details would require a good deal of attention. I like the idea of mandatory drug/alcohol testing after accidents, but I don't see legalization as adding to the problem created by the combination of driving with alcohol and "illegal" but universally available drugs. I don't think you'll see a lot of truckers and long-haul drivers smoking grass anyway; more likely consuming methamphetamine and derivatives. I can't agree with random drug testing, I think it is excessively intrusive and a violation of basic rights.
