Not what he's getting at. Plant's are dangerous environments where carelessness or intoxication could easily lead to explosive consequences, not that weed makes someone build bombs and kill civilians.
The only rational argument against legal weed that I've heard is the difficulty with which relative "highness" can be measured as opposed to breathalyzers for alcohol. It makes it harder to enforce prohibitions against driving, working, or operating heavy machinery high.

This i actually agree with. The only real way to measure it is with a blood test...which cant really be done at a traffic stop.

That's consistently the worst argument argument against I hear.
"We can't legalize it because we can't determine at what point a person is 'too' stoned to function"
I've never heard of anyone getting in a car wreck because they were too high on marijuana fwiw.
Here's an article about it. Yes, it's from a weed advocacy group. LINK
I don't think the simple act of driving intoxicated should be illegal either; there are already penalties for reckless driving, if intoxicated you are just more likely to be nailed for doing so- but we are a nation run by militant helicopter mothers.

I guess that's kind of fair enough. I just don't like the idea of how it paints people who like to occasionally smoke pot on their own time as somehow more unsafe than someone who drinks. No one makes these points about the guy who has a couple of beers to unwind Friday night after his shift.
