If marijuana laws didn't exist or were not enforced, a lot of law enforcement and prison staff literally would not have enough to do.

That's an interesting thought process, and you might be right. However, I came across this:
Traffic fatalities double since marijuana legalized in Colorado

Now, after I found this, I did some digging, and I found that a large number of people who tested positive for marijuana in their system after a fatal accident also tested positive for alcohol. the question, would be then...was it the alcohol or the marijuana that caused the accident...or neither? It's nearly impossible to say definitively, however, alcohol was legalized long before marijuana was, and if the numbers almost doubled, then it is reasonable to draw a conclusion that marijuana was responsible for at least a large portion of the statistic.

Ask any cop if he would rather ding a kid for marijuana or work a fatality and I think we know what he would say.

I know this is a subject that we could go on about for days or weeks and not get anywhere....and whether marijuana should be legalized or not is not what this thread is about. I shouldn't have gotten involved, as it will just spill over into posts concerning football. people can't/won't separate my views about marijuana with my views on football. It was dumb of me to speak up, as no good will come of it.
