BETTER SAFE THAN STONED
You often run letters about the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana.
I'd like to know if the people for legalization toke responsibly, and
how much they promote it.
I enjoy drinking, which is legal. But I have to be morally and legally
responsible. I cannot drink and drive! Police can check for blood
alcohol and take your keys away. What test, if any, is out there for
marijuana? How many accidents have occurred because of drivers being
high?
You can't tell me that someone high on marijuana is any more alert
than someone who's had too much to drink. How many joints does it take
to be impaired, and do the people in favour of legal marijuana care?
If marijuana is legalized, who would control its use and how would
this be done?
I have no problem with legalizing [pot], but please, toke
responsibly.
