Not sure I see the prohibition connection... Marijuana and Opiates have never been legal. (even when GW himself grew hemp to send to England to make ropes) They've been regulated as poison for pharmaceutical use but not until recent pat for recreational use. Personally, I don't understand who this would benefit. Which professions would begin allowing employees to come to work with THC in their system? Military? Police? Governors office? Medical professions? Lawyers? Contractors? Plumbers? Electricians? Builders of Submarines? Engineers? Basically, any profession with a need to maintain your "wherewithalls"... nope. probably not. Legal or not, they won't keep their job, so there's no benefit to legalize marijuana.

Who would be "okay" not to have their "wherewithalls" at work? Unemployed welfare recipients? (Seems rather illogical to me), Store clerks? Servers? Checkout clerks?

How does one mange "recreational use" without driving? THC stays in the system a long time. So, how would these fine folks get to their employment? There's no breathalyzer for THC, so I suppose the police will need a kit to get a pee test for traffic stops. That's going to be interesting to see. (how they deal with it, not the act itself... ) What would be neat though is calling the plumber to fix your toilet and having him hook it to the shower on accident... sorry dude, my bad
