Just as an FYI, my brother-in-law is DA where I live and his side of the family are all DAs or assistance DA. They are the ones I'm getting this from. It makes sense to me. Just look at booze. It is still legal to get as drunk as one wants in private but NOT in public or to drive drunk. But there is a set legal standard; .08.

Say pot is legal and a cop pulls over a car. The car smells of pot but no one is openly smoking pot. How would the cop know if the driver was stoned or not? If pot was legal it would be legal for everyone other than the driver to be stoned, just like with booze. A way to measure impairment is key to reduce the public fear of stoned drivers.

Anyhow if this idea is BS CMD didn't make much of a case. The guy is a pill. Since I'm NOT a fan of the GOP by any means I sometimes agree with the pill but man it is hard since he is such an a-hole.
