The argument about driving while under the influence is valid.  People driving stoned could be a hazzard.

Your uncle definitely killed himself because of pills. Don't even question that. Not even for a second.

Pharmaceuticals are so much worse than marijuana. Ever hear those commercials that say, "we're not sure why this drug works, but it does" ..... sigh. Pills are awful.

Not if the marijuana is laced with fentanyl or some of this other crazy stuff that's killing people. Yeah, straight up pot may not be as bad as pills but for someone with an addiction it doesn't matter. It's going to ruin their life. I've seen it happen more than once.

It will be a huge problem. There aren't any legal levels established to say you are actively under thr influence. There are usage levels that trigger a failed test but those aren't established levels for being impaired. So do you use a usage test and then include that if they fail? How do companies handle it? Alcohol is legal but if you are impaired you can be fired. I'm sure they can try to ban things as conditions of employment but will probably lose. Can you legally stop someone from using at work? Not sure on vape laws but if you allow that then you could probably get away with it.

Then you are going to hurt all the criminals out there who are selling the drugs. Are they going to be able to go legit and open a store front, insurance, taxes, etc or is some rich, old white guy going to get rich opening up the stores? More democrat goodness helping themselves.
