Here's my thoughts on marijuana, it's a leaf, just like tabacco is a leaf, you both can smoke it. Marijuana is illiegal, legal in some places. Tabacco is legal. There's some difference of course, in the effects of smoking Marijuana as to tobacco (cigars). Here on the Cigar Forum, I have observed that everyone loves their Cigars. They have the opportunity to have fun and games. They're famous for their Bombs and Trades and completelly have FUN. If some smoke Marijuana, it's none of my business, I do feel they have the right to smoke whatever they want and like. And might be just as much FUN, smokiing it or get high, at least. lol As far as the laws on Marijuana, it sucks, government are too uptight about it!!!! Just my take on the subject, guys.
It is legal now in Washington State. I have no strong feelings either way but I am concerned with enforcement, especially when under the influence since you can't test for it in the same way as you can test for alcohol.

They have a field test for it here in CA already. It's exactly the same as a regular field sobriety test. If your driving and the field sobriety test point to you being under the influence of anything you will get a DUI (alcohol, pills, weed, meth, etc.). Even if you can't pinpoint anything in a chemical test. My buddy is a CHP officer and he says he's had multiple DUI arrests for weed based only on his assessment of being under the influence.
It's probably a bit more difficult to prove but frankly it wouldn't surprise me if those arrested also had a car that smelled like a cheech and chong lowrider thus making it much easier to prove. My buddy did say they didn't put an emphasis on finding these folks but addressed those that were obviously under the influence.
Yeah and it depends on the cop too. When I was nineteen I worked nights in school and got pulled over for driving with one headlight. He asked if I had been drinking and I said no. He field sobriety tested me and apparently I "failed". I had to spend the night in the drunk tank completely sober. Frickin sucked a$$. When the breathalyzer and the urine test came back clean they dropped the charges, but that was six hours of he!!. Completely subjective results if you ask me. Hopefully they are better at it now.
