Reply #125: Because, like I said, it has come up as a big anti-legalization talking point.

You're wondering why you're getting the flak you're getting in this thread, that's why.

Now, of course, as you say, you're pro-legalization, and are NOT bringing this up as a talking point AGAINST legalization, but just, as you say, as it's own, separate issue that, you've acknowledged, doesn't really apply to the legalization argument since, as you agree, impaired driving is already against the law and enforcement wouldn't be markedly affected by a change in the legal status of pot.

So it's great that you're not using this as an anti-legalization talking point, and you've been considerate enough to remind everyone, repeatedly, how you are for legalization, of course... but the reactions you're seeing have to do with it being a common talking point against legalization in general.
