The written test could be done with a minimum of fuss and cost at the same time the license is renewed every 5 years.

Fuck written tests. Unless they have to take the written test while actually driving, their ability to drive is not being evaluated.

We have an illegal drug that just mellows people out and we have a legal one (booze) that turns a large minority of people into aggressive idiots.

In your professional capacity, would you rather deal with an angry drunk itching for a fight or a stoner giggling because he's thinking about the funny song they play on the Yodeler game on the Price is Right?

It's pretty hard to rationally demonize marijuana use while remaining straight faced about alcohol use being okay. Either you use the same reasons to prohibit both OR you use the same reasons to legalize both.

I think you know the answer to this one Dayseed. The cops just enforce the law. Most (so I'm told) turn a blind eye to weed use. It isn't an issue.

People crazed on booze is and the cops have suitable legislative powers to deal with the drunk dick-heads. People high on weed don't do the anti-social stuff that drunks do.

stoners can be placated with a bag of doritos. Lay a trail of M&Ms and they'll follow them into holding cells....this isn't an exaggeration

I told you that story in confidence.

You were just disappointed that you misheard them when they told you they were going to give you M&M Peanuts. To this day you can't listen to hip hop without blushing.
