NC congressman introduces 'Stop Pot Act' to curb recreational marijuana legalization

Legislation introduced on Friday by a North Carolina congressman seeks to slash a portion of federal funding to individual U.S. states as well as Native tribes that legalize marijuana.
The so-called Stop Pot Act, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), would withhold 10 percent of federal highway funding to jurisdictions “in which the purchase or public possession of marijuana for recreational purposes is lawful.” Introduction of the bill comes less than a week before a tribe in Edwards’s home state votes on an adult-use marijuana legalization referendum.
Edwards argues that state and tribal laws allowing cannabis use by adults are an affront to U.S. law.

I know it's almost impossible to enforce laws against use of marijuana, but on the other hand, I do worry that people are going to be driving around very stoned.  Now, you can say it doesn't affect your driving ability, but way back when I smoked that stuff, there was no way I could drive a car while I was stoned, and I know a lot of other people who were the same way.
