The problem I have with legalizing weed, is related to secondhand smoke and how it will affect those around it. I think about those who have to go undergo regular drug testing for work and what will happen to them who hang out with friends who are able to light up anywhere. And, what about contact highs for those who have never smoked pot? How will it affect those designated drivers whose friends all smoke it? With alcohol a person has to ingest it to become intoxicated but with pot, if you are around a large enough group of people then it is possible to get high without smoking it. Government says they want to ensure children aren't affected and that pot remains out of reach of children. Once we legalize it you can be sure it will be visible on every street corner.
