Should Cannabis Be Regulated Like Alcohol?

In my opinion I don't think that's the right solution. I think cannabis is closer to coffee.

I feel like its akin to coffee in severety but it is still a drug that imo kids shouldnt be smoking (but lets be real-life sucks but i digress). The label should state its psychoactive and be responsible and whatnot as well as an ID requirement. Driving while smoking is dependent on the person driving and generally safe but i think people SHOULD be smart enough to know if they are actually impaired.

People should also be smart enough to know they are too impaired to drive when drinking but they aren't. Self regulation won't work. A ban on driving under the influence will reduce the number of incidents.

There are some logistical issues with this as THC can stay much longer in your system. So regulating what counts as "under the influence" is more difficult and might even require new testing methods. Until then a flat ban is better than having more accidents.
