How should Marijuana be governed

[Mr. Reactionary]

Legal to possess, consume, buy, sell, and grow. (Same for hemp).
Purchase age of 21. (Only b/c science shows it can affect developing brains).
Available for persons below 21 with a prescription.
Commission a study to offer proposed threshold amounts of THC to constitute DWI.
Require adulterated/baked marijuana products to display the THC content.
Protect 2nd Amendment rights of marijuana users.
Same commercial advertising rules as for alcohol. (Except for non-smokeable medicines).

[Mr. Reactionary]

A lot of people don't realize that legalizing pot will have disastrous consequences.  First of all more people will use it, and it is a gateway to harder drugs like cocaine and meth.  So then you have more people who can't get jobs because they are stoned and incompetent.

I feel like I would have found that gateway by now if it was as disastrous as you think. Have you ever smoked pot?

More crime too.

If smokers feel like getting off the couch.

As the WWII generation dies out, we get this generation that grew up without respect for law and order.

To the decriminalization only posters: How large of a civil fine? Also, would smelling it around a private domicile be considered grounds for a warrantless search or does the seizure + citation only happen if in public/ a car?

I'm genuinely curious because I've heard pro-decrim/anti-legalization persons split on this.
