�create more or fewer regulations?
I am reminded, when I listen to the law enforcement and justice system proponents in Alaska, (they suggest legalization will lift the need for enforcement related to marijuana) that perhaps more laws and regulations will replace the more basic, straightforward prohibitions currently in place. Alcohol enforcement certainly seems to be an issue. I just don't see the logic in the arguments that some of the proponents put forward. What am I missing?
(BTW, I suppose it's no surprise that many teenagers seem to be very supportive of legalization. I would think that they might find themselves disappointed by the fact that it probably won't change much as far as they are concerned, if it passes.)

Anytime you give government more money, they will create more regulations, and more jobs to enforce them.
Big marijuana, big taxes, bigger government.
I don't like any of those three, and certainly not all three of them together.

Is there a Legal definition of "Under the Influence" of THC as there is with Alcohol?
Is there an accurate Road-Side test to indicate that Legal threshold of THC intoxication? Beside odor and several empty bags of Cheetos?
If Marijuana is decriminalized on the State level, are local LEO still required to arrest marijuana users under the Federal Firearms laws that make any and all users of marijuana "prohibited person"?
Can a user of marijuana purchase a Hunting license as they are NOT allowed under federal law to possess a firearm?

it moves money and power away from the cops, the DA's and the prison system, and moves it to a new group of bureaucrats to create a new fiefdom.

Personally I've found benefits from the product in question....I find the larger question is: why does legalization require regulation?

If government just completely ignores it and acts like it doesn't exist (which I support) then it'll be less government regulations.
But doing like Colorado did and trying to semi-legalize it and tax it is stupid. All they're doing is creating more government employees and more government regulations and more marijuana laws than they had before. And it's not even actually benefitting the citizens. The money is going to be poured into enforcement and regulating and rehabilitation and advertising.
Ask our Colorado residents about the refund they got on their state income tax this year because of all that new tax money coming in......

Marijuana really hasn't been legalized in the U.S. - rather, certain people are being permitted to violate federal law. Follow the money.

I wonder how long it will take the fed govt to connect firearm ownership to alcohol, like they do with pot and firearms. I have to think govt will always attempt to limit/eliminate gun ownership.

Charlie Do licensed drivers require regulation? (Why not just drive like they do in Tibet or Uzbekistan or someplace like that�driver beware, and at your own risk -soley- and all that?)

Never. According to the federal Government and the Gun Control Act of 1968 Alcohol is NOT considered a controlled substance. It would take Congress to change that. Oh wait, I should change that "never" to pretty soon, cuz when you guys that vote Democrat funded Libertarian and you Stay-at-Home in protest Republicans get through handing these election to the Democrats on a Silver Platter, all bets are off.
