Re: Unpopular opinions
(Anonymous) 2019-07-06 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)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.
