I doubt that I would "accept" it if the people voted for it, because I doubt that legislators would include stiffer sentences for violent offenders and people committing crimes while under the influence of drugs. I am not in favor of simply opening jail cells and making drugs legal without reforming other laws. I am also opposed to the government forcing taxpayers to pay for the revolving door of drug addiction rehabilitation programs.

If drugs are going to be legalized, then the law needs to hold drug users accountable when they do not use them "responsibly," which I expect a large percentage will not.

Right. But, with weed anyway, the proof that you have smoked stays in your system way longer than the "high". There would have to be a way to do away with urine test, and go to another type of test, like a mouth swab, that would get closer to the actual time you smoked. I don't know your experience with weed, but if someone is violent, it isn't because of weed. If they are violent, they are violent, but weed is a pacifier. You are more apt to be violent under the influence of alcohol.

Edit: There is no way to make them use weed responsibly if they aren't responsible type people, just look at alcohol. I will add, that if people aren't responsible, make them pay for their jail time. If they don't have the money, confiscate anything they have, sell it to pay the bill.
