Re: Unpopular opinions

Like what happens if someone who used then uses a vehicle and hurts someone else. Or just hurts someone else while using? What laws do we keep now that it is legal to use? What will the penalties be? How do we keep people from hurting other people while using? What will the age limit be (since marijuana is just as damaging to young brains as alcohol is)?

And what will the laws be about advertising for different kinds of marijuana. For example, while smoking marijuana is less cancer-causing than cigarettes, it is still cancer-causing. So what will the rules be about advertising?

There are just a lot of unanswered questions. And I haven't seen these things being really answered in places that have legalized. It seems to be an all or nothing thing. I just think some caution would be a good idea.

that's what anti drunk driving laws are for. you shouldn't drive high or drunk but we shouldn't bring back prohibition either. weed is less harmful than alcohol, the law should treat it as such (and weed is a LOT less harmful than tobacco!)

Like what happens if someone who used then uses a vehicle and hurts someone else.

That's... that's still driving while intoxicated. At least in the United States. A bunch of states have passed more specific laws about marijuana-impaired driving, too, but driving while under the influences of drugs is still a crime in general. It's not like driving on cocaine is legal.

Or just hurts someone else while using?

But... if you assault someone, or whatever, wouldn't that still just be assault? I don't understand this argument at all.

What will the age limit be (since marijuana is just as damaging to young brains as alcohol is)?

This is actually an argument in favor of legalization as opposed to decrim! Having specific laws regulating the sale of marijuana is what allows you to set and enforce an age limit and have licensing and regulations. That's the whole advantage of legalization.

And what will the laws be about advertising for different kinds of marijuana. For example, while smoking marijuana is less cancer-causing than cigarettes, it is still cancer-causing. So what will the rules be about advertising?

I mean, I agree that this is an issue, but I don't think it's that difficult to solve. We already have laws regarding alcohol and tobacco advertising, so we have a pretty good idea of how to approach the problem. And again, this is another argument for legalization as opposed to decrim - legalization allows you to regulate advertising, as states with recreational marijuana have done. See, for example:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=BPC&division=10.&title=&part=&chapter=15.&article=

So, I guess, I get your concerns. But I think the best way to address them is to pass laws through the legalization process as various states have been doing.

A DUI is a DUI regardless of the substance involved. I’m not sure there are even laws about assaulting someone while under the influence of any controlled substance vs just plain assaulting people, so I assume if you beat someone up while high (which doesn’t seem that likely and I hate weed) you’d be charged with assault.

I’m in California where things containing lead (some electrical cables, pottery, some kinds of vinegar, etc) have lead warning labels by law, and of course tobacco products have the cancer warning label; stick one on weed products detailing cancer risk (and psychiatric illness risk) on a state by state basis until federal decriminalization/legalization kicks in.

The age limit should be 21 like for alcohol—which I think it is in most states where it’s legal—unless a patient under 21 has a prescription.

No tv or kid focused advertising.

Right now, it’s not like marijuana is harmless, but I think criminalizing weed does more harm than legalizing it will.

It's legal here (Los Angeles) and the age limit is 21. I voted for legalization and I'm glad we have it. Making it illegal didn't stop people who wanted to smoke marijuana from doing it, and when it was made legal medicinally pretty much any adult who wanted some could get it because it was not hard to get a doctor to say you needed it. (That's what I've been told anyway.)
