If I was about to have brain surgery, I wouldn't want the doctor to say, "Wow that was some good ****, I'm seeing squirrels!"
I DON'T trust most people in those situations either, Cardinal.
My problem with marijuana in general is the same issue I have with narcotics, alcohol, and other substances..... They create an altered mental state which inhibits people's ability to make sound decisions instantly.

I am against the legalization of any illicit drug, in fact, if I had my way, I wouldn't want tobacco or alcohol legal either.
If you have to ingest, inject, smoke or snort any substance to feel good about yourself, you've got some issues.
That said, I think the way most states that have legalized medical marijuana have gone about it is the most piss-poor method imaginable, we all know that people are forging prescriptions or just buying it illegally out the back door of dispensaries and it's being ignored by the authorities. If we're going to allow it, it has to be much, much, much better controlled.
So you'd take the Volstead Act era crime and the cartels/gangs from this War on Drugs over people being able to get a buzz in the privacy of their own homes? Wow...
Agreed, but there is no IF. IMO legalization is inevitable.
Actually, I'd settle for people being more rational and responsible, but we all know that kind of thing is gone from modern-day America.
Oh, I agree it's probably inevitable, but there's a difference between something happening and that thing being a good idea.
