Can someone please tell me why legalizing recreational drugs and selling them in shops like we do liquor is a bad idea?

The only legitimate reason that they are still illegal in parts of the country is because it opens a new can of worms if you legalize it. If they had a testing method that could tell you how high you are at the moment like a breathalizer then weed would have been legalized a long time ago.

As it stands, if you get injured at work and go in for workers comp, the first thing you do is piss test. Now Im not sure how it works in legalized states but failing that piss test is already grounds for termination and workers comp not being paid. If they had a test that you could take when you go in and it would tell you that you haven't smoked in 48 hours or whatever then all that would be cleaned up.
