How can you not see the difference here. 1 it's illegal and smoking pot standing beside his bus would get him fired and possibly jail time. This might actually make someone decide not to blaze up on their break as there is BAD repercussions. Scenario 2 there is no repercussion so the decision is simple, blaze and be awesome or not blaze and not be awesome.
Your arguement holds no water because people make decisions on what the outcome will be. If the outcome has the potential for jail time or monetary risk people are less likely to choose that decision.
Or are you saying that people who smoke pot have zero regard for personal wealth, freedom and safety?

You're way off base. First off as it stands right now you can be charged for impaired operation of a motor vehicle by drug (ie marihuana). Second, even if possession and purchase of marihuana is legalized it doesn't change the criminal law prohibiting that person from driving the "school bus".
The proposition that Washington and Colorado passed effectively places marihuana in the same category as liquor.
