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. Glenn McMillan, Toronto - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
