As long as it remains that their are absolutely ZERO deaths related directly to the intake of marijuana, i see no problem with it being legalized. Especially when legal pharmaceuticals kill upwards of 20,000 people a year(22,134 deaths in 2015 relating directly to pharmaceutical overdose). and yes, I would hope people would be responsible enough to not drive while under the influence of being marijuana if they feel as if they are too high to drive properly. Driving under the influence of marijuana has never been harder for me than driving sober. I do not agree about it "doubling" the risk of a car accident, and if that is so, then alcohol must increase the risk of a car accident by 20x, and yet the american government sees no problem with that being legal and regulated, even when it is responsible for the deaths of 80,000+ deaths a year not including car accidents. I personally see no problem with the legalization of marijuana. A study found that in 2010, when busts reached about 750,000, the cost of arrests amounted to more than $3.6 billion. There is absolutely no reason to spent this amount of money on some stoners who want to get high and order a shit ton of dominoes when that extra $3.6 billion could be used on actual problems like criminals, rapists, and murderers instead of a fucking plant.
this shit has turned into garbage

Personally I wouldn't allow anyone under 20 to smoke weed, there would be designated public places to smoke it, as well as places to buy it, safely in set amounts per week. If you want to smoke while you drive you will need to apply for a tolerance test in which experience weed smokers will judge how high you can get and still operate efficiently, but that is still iffy tbh. If youre at home smoke as much as you want
Please keep convo and arguments respectful and make sure they help further the argument.

haha i like the part you say regulate it when there has never been an O/D on weed in the history of it unless accompanied by another narcotic.
No reason for regulation unless it was getting into a illegal trade which they are attempting to counter act of course. so in this case the regulations are only in the eyes of the public for voting matter of it being "safe" when the "drug" itself is already safe and has been for as long as the earth has been around. Its proven by many different researchers that marijuana actually proactively makes you more cautious and less likely to radically drive.
I as well drive blitzed every day and tbh im 22 and if i didnt smoke weed i woulda been written off the road by now. ive been in 3 accidents, each time for anger. i hadnt smoked weed until a year after my second accident. and the 3rd i wasnt driving lol
Everyone knows you cant o/d on marijuana, you can on almost anything else even water. so whats that tell you? the grandmas of this world is what we are trying to please. they hear regulation and believe it will be a better street. when the street is already filled with what is considered now crime when someone deals a fucking gram in front of retired peoples homes. yes selling legally (fuck that regulation wording is all for media) would clean up your street grandma cause no one else going to be buying it infront of your door if its legalized. and if they regulate it then people are going to have to make more trips to get the product rather than them having as much as they can purchase and making a one trip. seems counter productive dont you think?
Regulation! Right get it for those oldies that think its gonna make you jump out your window reefer madness bullshit. but once we got the votes remove that pussy "feelings" shit cause its all about everyones opinions rather than what good it would do. And sure it could affect the younger generation but thats where the only regulation part should be played in the youth of lesser than 18-20 for world wide. underdeveloped minds dont need that shit yet. This isnt an opinion, just regulation is a "Yes parents ill get A+'s on my report card for a year if you buy me an xbox!"
Its a trade.
I mean yeah loosen regulations in the future, but until people are not crying about it, keep the regulations until they accept it. Most of the people who do not want it legalized have never touched it anyway because "not in my good christian house" as they proceed to hate gay people lul. Either way there is no way of getting around regulations at this point and time whether we want to or not. Make them happy so we get what we want, and if that is just me having to drive 3 extra miles to go to a weed park, then fuck yes.

and not regulated in a sense of how much you can smoke; Where you smoke it at.
I mean, your point on reiterating the same thing several times goes both ways. You always reply that since smoking/alcohol is legal, weed should be, which I rebuked by saying that you shouldn't make it legal just because things that are worse are legal. It's bad, it should be illegal. Simple.
Not everyone who wants weed to be illegal is a staunch Christian conservative. I'm an otherwise liberal atheist, honest! ;-;
