It's funny how so many law makers are against the idea when alcohol is more damaging. Hypocrites.

I think it is naive to assume criminals will close shop rather than shifting to harder drugs, ransom, and people smuggling. Whatever becomes legal will suddenly not have the profit margins they desire. So I believe the reduction in criminal enterprise argument is not relevant.
My main concern is staying safe in the road. It doesn't seem there is an instant field test for impairments like a breathalyzer. Maybe the field test is good enough then blood to a lab. Then again texting or sleep deprivation are probably worse hazards.
