Should Cannabis Be Regulated Like Alcohol? (lemmy.world)

In my opinion I don't think that's the right solution. I think cannabis is closer to coffee.

People should also be smart enough to know they are too impaired to drive when drinking but they aren't. Self regulation won't work. A ban on driving under the influence will reduce the number of incidents.

There are some logistical issues with this as THC can stay much longer in your system. So regulating what counts as "under the influence" is more difficult and might even require new testing methods. Until then a flat ban is better than having more accidents.
