The biggest one for me is keeping the number of stoned people driving to a minimum, and harsher penalties for those who are stoned and drive.

Now lest I appear as a total anti-drug nut, I am a strong believer in medical marijuana - I had a friend go through bladder cancer, and the chemo was the absolute pits. He would get so nauseous that he couldn't even get up off the floor. It was enough to make me sick just watching him. But if he lit up a pipe and took a few hits, the nauseousness would pass and he could pretty much feel normal (well, as normal as one can feel with that poisonous shit in your veins - definitely a case where the cure is almost worse than the disease).

All it takes to have your attitude changed about medical marijuana is have someone you care about benefit from it in a significant way. I still have arguments with my parents about this :rolleyes:
