>> Would you disagree that marijuana should be treated the same way as alcohol at the very least? Sure. I wouldn't advocate kids being free to use marijuana any more than I would alcohol. But I do not think there should be legal consequences for simple possession of most of the now illegal drugs. There needs to be a reliable test for DUI with marijuana, which does not now exist. And DUI laws need to be enforced against marijuana users. Because impaired individuals shouldn't drive. There was a movement in CA to regulate marijuana "like wine" and I think that is a reasonable thing to do. But I would also dramatically change the law surrounding possession of opiates such that personal use quantities are never criminalized (as in felony) but possession without a proper Rx would result in mandatory treatment, to be funded by a little of the money saved by not chasing down drug offenders. It has been shown, time and again, that drug abuse cannot be stopped from the supply side. It has never happened and never will.
