Is the legalization of cannabis in the United States going to lead to more drug abuse and DUI, or will it lead to more progressive legislaiton?

in #musing5 years ago

The United States has federally prohibited cannabis usage since 1937, but that is changing slowly. Some 33-states have legalized cannabis usage for medical and/or recreational use. States including California and Washington with large populations and influence are legalizing and normalizing cannabis usage within their borders.

Will more adoption and availability of cannabis during legalization lead to more crime and DUI, or will legislatures rise to the challenge and adopt progressive laws that counter this. Or will citizens embrace the newly legalized substance and respect the new laws?
