It'd provide a good income stream for state revenue, and would reduce the amount of people in our jails by a pretty high rate.

Unfortunately, I'm under the impression that there's no reliable test to check the levels of THC in someone's blood and I think operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of said substance is a Really Bad Idea<tm> (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I have no personal experience in the matter).

The War on Drugs costs this country billions of dollars in taxpayer money. If we're going to cut programs, that should be one of the first to go.
From experience:

Last time I drove drunk I rolled over 3 street signs, went off the road too many times to count, and count myself lucky that I didn't die.

Last time I drove high I drove 5-15 miles below the speed limit, and generally avoided all traffic.

Driving under the influence of anything is dumb, but I trust a stoned driver, and will get in the passenger seat, way before I will a drunk driver.
