A few reasons why it shouldn't be legalized;
* Problems with memory and learning.
* Difficulty thinking and problem solving.
* Lowered grades in school or poor job performance.
* Weakened relationships with friends and family.
* Loss of coordination and risk of injury.
* Inability to drive safely or do complex tasks for up to 24 hours after use.
* Distorted senses of sight, hearing, touch, time, and depth.
* Reduced athletic ability.
* Elevated heart rate.
* Anxiety.
* Panic attacks.
I don't think jail-time should be a punishment but a fine would work. I also think that if you're caught smoking and driving or in public you should loose your license just like driving under the influence of alcohol.
Maybe even report your usage to your health insurance company or your empolyer. There is no reason anybody should be smoking pot with alcohol being legal. Not to mention alcohol is a detox agent that is good for your blood and body when consumed with a meal (obviously not a 6 pack, lol).
By having an Rx there is no reason people should be using a dangerous drug like weed without consulting a doctor, that's my feeling. I've never had to do it and think that people that do use it need a hobbie, like cars, or maybe a job
