As I posted earlier and this may vary by state and by gender, but 2 or 3 drinks under the law means you're driving impaired or under the influence. Meaning that if you hurt someone while driving you are liable.
I know they take urine tests to determine drug content. Its hard to get the weed out of your system even after a few days. That could be used, else similarly to alcohol, one use of marijuana could be defined as impaired.
Just like alcohol if someone goes out and smokes they should either get a buddy who is sober to drive them home or call a cab.

As a Californian, I have mixed feelings about legalizing Marijuana. First, if it's legalized, how are law enforcement officers supposed to deal with people who overuse Marijuana while for example, driving and operating other vehicles? Unlike alcohol, there isn't a test limit or level for detecting acute, excess usage.
Ever heard of a field sobriety test?
How do you think they check for intoxication of drugs like cough medicine, LSD, etc. or even being too tired to drive?

All in all, I wouldn't want people to be put in danger because of legalization.
Legal or not, people will still do it. The only difference is, if it's illegal you hurt innocent, responsible people, who don't drive under the influence, by stealing from them, imprisoning them and blacklisting them with a criminal record.
Has anyone alerted the Mormons in Utah? - they may want to mount another campaign to meddle in California business..
They spent all of their money outlawing homosexual marriage, which will probably be overturned shortly.
Waste of money, think of all of the homeless, poor, and hungry people they could have housed, clothed, and feed with all of the money they spent on prop 8.
Its not my state, and its none of my business what Californians do, but if I were a Mormon, I would be pissed at my church.
NeoCon nightmare: California to put Marijuana legalization on ballot

The Tax & Regulate Cannabis 2010 campaign has just achieved a major victory in its efforts to legalize marijuana for all adults in California -- they have gathered the signatures necessary for inclusion on the state's November ballot.

NeoCons, like Bush, hate democracy and prefer to rule like dictators. Thats why Bush ignored the will of the people and stole both of his elections. The fact that people are voting on something that they oppose is a nightmare for the NeoCons.

and where do you get this idea? If it passes, it passes and I have a hunch it will.
I'm so ambivalent about this it isn't even funny. I literally couldn't care less.
I would vote for medical marijuana's legalization on a national level (or a state level, if it was local), but recreational? I never use it recreationally (or at all) and as such, it's just not important. I probably wouldn't even bother to vote.
They can legalize it, just like alcohol. As a company owner I have a right to demand drug-free employees. When they test positive I will fire them. Alcohol might last a few hours in the system. MaryJane sticks around awhile.
