Quality in the U.S does suck for some reason. I had a friend visit from Detroit and be brought over some weed claiming its "the best schit man" and then proceeds to pull out weed that would pass for shake here.
Smoked a real Canadian joint with him, and he said he had never been that high before.

Meth aside, don't most drugs come from plants? Cocaine, Opium, etc? It's a slippery slope is it not?
Well, even Meth is derived from the plant Ephedra, but along with Cocaine, Heroine, ect, there is quite the chemical process that goes into the making of those drugs. Marijuana is simply grown, cut and smoked. So the slop isn't that slippery.

i've yet to hear a compelling argument about why marijuana should be illegal that doesn't also apply to alcohol. the big difference between weed and the harder narcotics is that it isn't physically addictive, and in the history of mankind no one has ever overdosed on pot
that's the one big thing i hope for the next time Canada gets a liberal government. there is no reason why this country shouldn't be reaping the tax benefits that would come after legalization, BC's weed industry would rival Alberta's oilfields

Legalizing pot is one thing, but there are still certain things that should be illegal to do while high, much like being drunk. However you can't just test a person for being high. When you pull someone over and they're high, there is no 'breathalyzer' for them. You need blood or urine which you cannot force someone to supply. In addition, pot stays in your system for weeks so it's harder to determine how recently someone smoked a joint.

people get charged for driving while under the influence of marijuana as it is right now, field sobriety tests work quite well under those circumstances

Perhaps, but it's not fail-safe.

Yes indeed, but it's more acurate that walking a straight line. In addition, if you're in an injury accident you can have blood taken; but with pot, who knows how long it's been in your system? They also have yet to determine what level of THC would make a person intoxicated.
If you're going to be able to prosecute, you need to have a limit, no?

IMO its much more dangerous to drive drunk than stoned for a regular stoner. That said I don't really condone either. I would rate driving extremely tired as almost as bad as driving drunk, and worse than driving stoned for most people. How are we going to prevent tired drivers though?
If you're going to be able to prosecute, you need to have a limit, no?
How about making it no tolerance? I'm a stoner and would be all for this, I think the same should be put in place for drinking too (well the rest of the country, BC is going to be like this soon).
Have something where the cops have the right to do a few things when it comes to driving stoned. There has to be a test in place that can help a cop determine if someone is stoned, like they do for drinking. If the cop believes you have been toking then give an automatic 24/48hr suspension. If you believe you are innocent then hand over your blood, if you decline to give blood make it a 14/30 day suspension. If you are caught twice make it a year.
People who drive stoned, drunk or tired (as the poster above says) are doing nothing more than being selfish and putting others in danger. With cabs, dial a driver services, friends/family, etc. no one has an excuse to drive when they don't need to.

Oh, I'm not disputing any of those things, but if there's a zero tolerance for marijuana, there should also be a zero tolerance for alcohol which is known to have worse effects than being stoned. The problem from a governmental point of view is that creating a zero tolerance law for the sake of legalizing pot would not be a popular move. And right now, there's not fool-proof way of determining if a driver is under the influence of pot.
Trust me; I'm all for legalizing pot. However I totally understand the limitations of the government in this regard as well. They need to create a law that can not only be passed, but also enforced.
