How long have you lived in Alaska?  Did no one think about such things until marijuana was legalized?  Does everyone think that all the marijuana users while it was decriminalized were *not* toking and driving?  You can bet a lot of the kids were doing just that.  I find it kind of amazing that Alaskans, now that it's legalized, are "suddenly aware" of this.

I would hope that legalization would help provide the sensible regulation that your comment suggests by limiting access to minors and making people think twice about what's wrong and what's right.
