Please, just legalize marijuana.
Even though 'drunk driving' is much more hazardous than 'pot driving', I have always believed that legalized pot should have the same basic rules and regulations that alcohol consumption has.

****Too High To Drive? Colo. Considers Pot DUI Law.
(State Reps. Proposing 5 Nanogram Limit.)
DENVER -- Colorado is considering setting a blood-test standard for what constitutes driving under the influence of marijuana.
It is already illegal in all states to drive while impaired by drugs, but only a few states have set a measurable benchmark for how much marijuana you can have in your system to be charged with a DUI. The bipartisan proposal from Reps. Claire Levy and Mark Waller would set a limit of 5 nanograms of THC, the psychoactive marijuana ingredient.
The substance would have to be present within two hours of someone being pulled over.
Colorado's 5-nanogram proposal would be one of most liberal in the country. Nevada and Ohio have a 2-nanogram limit.
Some medical marijuana advocates fear they'll be unfairly targeted, but Levy says the bill is about public safety.
