As cannabis is neither lethal nor physically addictive, it needs to be completely taken off the schedule and legalized, not on "Schedule 3" where federal police (which are provided for nowhere in the Constitution, by the way) can still lock you in a cage for years, merely for possessing the plant.
Meanwhile, anyone can walk into a liquor store and buy enough booze to kill themself within the hour if they choose to chug it - free choice for free adults in a free society. (This is a good thing; let them "weed" themselves out :)
It’s fine to take it off the schedule, but it’s not fine to stop enforcing DUI for people that are high.
I know of multiple fatal crashes because people thought they were fine to drive high as a kite.
And I don’t think it’s okay to be vaping and smoking marijuana around schools and public places just like cigarettes. St. Louis smells like a Bob Marley concert at all times now, and it’s annoying when you’re just trying to go about your day.
Yes but DUI fatalities drop by about 25% when states legalize cannabis.
Fully legal, non-scheduled ethanol is a far worse alcohol problem than THC is.
Drivers under the influence of THC actually tend to drive 5-10 mph SLOWER than usual...almost everyone has experienced this phenomenon, it's a running joke. I've never personally heard of anyone being in an accident due to THC but I've had two close friends die while driving drunk.
But we agree, both options should be off the schedule and up to free adults to decide what to put inside their body.

Can you post a link to a study that supports that claim? Meanwhile, I found a study that directly contradicts the statement you made.
Since recreational marijuana was legalized, marijuana related traffic deaths
increased 151 percent while all Colorado traffic deaths increased 35 percent.
Since recreational marijuana was legalized, traffic deaths involving drivers who
tested positive for marijuana more than doubled from 55 in 2013 to 138 people
killed in 2017.
This equates to one person killed every 2 ½ days compared to one person
killed every 6 ½ days.
The percentage of all Colorado traffic deaths that were marijuana related
increased from 11.43 percent in 2013 to 21.3 percent in 2017.
Federal decriminalization will bring gold columbian back!...haven't seen it since 1978
