My problem with legalizing any substance in the United States (this I feel is an American problem in particular) is the heavily reliance that goes into driving; the American character is one of open roads, and no matter what anyone says, I don't like the idea of giving people more drugs to put into their system when they drive- especially when they (as is the wont of mankind) mix and match...
Having said that, we can't keep playing this game with "illegal drugs"- something has to give and it has to give soon, 'cause the longer we put it off the worse the problems and solutions are going to get. Enough pussyfooting; either legalize the damn substance or make the penalties ridiculously severe.
