As for the pot head, on the road, driving argument, that's just a silly argument. Driving Under the Influence is Driving Under the Influence. Doesn't matter if it's alcohol, weed, meth, prescrition drugs like oxycodone, perckaset, xanax, etc.

Besides, given the choice, of being in a car accident, where the person that hits me is:
a) drunk
b) on Meth
c) on Coke
d) on prescription pills
e) smoked a joint

I'll take "E" as the lesser of all evils, everyday of the week and twice and sunday. yes, it will be annoying to have to replace the bumper, but it's a much better alternative than being rammed by some drunk lady in a Ford F-350 Dually.

I'm not suggesting in reality that one is really better than the other, I am kidding. but really, there are laws in place, DUI does not mean, driving
DRUNK, it means, driving under the INFLUENCE of any substance.

If you can't walk the street with an open container, you shouldn't be able to smoke a joint. But if there is an outdoor bar, and the bar owner allows it, and is in a smoking section, how is it any different than how alcohol is controlled and regulated?
smoking tobacco is banned outdoors in most places, here in Chicago. So should weed, since some would consider it worse.
And alcohol is irrelevant, since it is entirely consumed by the body, unlike tobacco which has a by product expelled into the air...

I don't it would lower the price. The price would increase because they would base it on streetprice + taxes.
