Do you really not understand? Smoking weed is a personal choice as in it affects only the user. Robbery or murder involve another person as a victim. They are not analogous crimes.

I assumed @Indecisi0n was on your mind. or ?
Why jump to the conclusion that more was not high?

Why not?
Actually, I didn't assume either way.
Not in my wavelength or abilities.
I'm the one always going, "Oh really?"

DUI still applies to weed and the offense can hurt others, not just the user.....do you not understand this???

So what's the difference between pot and alcohol consumption? Should we bring back Prohibition?

If cannabis should be made illegal because the user might harm, kill or rob someone, then shouldn't that same argument apply to alcohol or what about the sale and ownership of guns among other things? Why limit it there?
Should we make the sale of certain over the counter drugs illegal because someone can cook that into meth and they will harm, murder or rob someone?
Maybe being more careful with the form of argumentation used, even if one dislikes cannabis and its use, might be useful.
Maybe the deeper question is why are so many people in our society seeking out means, legal and illegal, to medicate themselves away from reality? Why do so many in our society need to pound down a few beers after work, smoke a joint, take a pill to sleep or to wake up or to just take a happy pill from the doctor because they suffer from the disease of sadness?
Sure doesn't sound like evidence of the greatest place on the planet to me!

the process would be to change the law not break it.

typical reaction.....take it too far!!
What's the difference.......DUI is driving under the influence........doesn't say alcohol, pot, other drugs, just influence. The cop determines whether you are impaired, not me.
No on the prohibition, yes on moderation!!

Never made that argument however I'm not opposed to it. Many laws are eliminated as a result of the inability of the State to enforce them because the people themselves no longer obey them.
The law books are filled with pages of laws that are still applicable as a matter of law but are no longer enforced because everyone breaks them without the first thought.
Our founding fathers choose to break the law, even kill cops (British soldiers acted in that capacity) and yet today we see them as having the highest standing in virtue. Yet anyone daring to do that today would be considered the lowest form of human.
Funny how life does that.
