Recreational marijuana legalized at the federal level

Marijuana can be perceived as a gateway drug

Most people who move on from one drug to the other usually started with marijuana use

The high that marijuana gives off no longer does anything for the user since he/she has built a tolerance to the drug

Drug history patterns usually exhibit trying a drug with less harmful effects then drug behavior gradually shifts to. using more and more harmful/addictive drugs

Currently, there's no way to test levels of intoxication

An increase in DUII's is very likely, however there isn't a system in place that tests someones current levels of intoxication like a Breathalyzer would do for alcohol

In general, marijuana stays in the system for weeks-months depending on frequency of usage, making it difficult to legalize without tools to PROVE if one is under the influence

Lack of support from former/current presidents and officers

Negative connotation associated with "supporting" drug use

Hard for police to enforce if they let their personal beliefs take over

More recognized in society makes it easier for kids to get

The more people of age that can obtain the drug, the more likely it is for someone underage to get ahold of it.

Along with it being easier to obtain, legalizing marijuana will likely normalize marijuana use

Push back from anti-marijuana population

People's stances on marijuana are an important part of their moral code

Much like the "pro life vs. pro choice" debate

Many people against marijuana are likely to do what they can to prevent its' legalization

Belief that it can cause health issues and/or make you lazy

second hand smoke

people didn't choose to engage in this behavior

Arguably more harmful than first hand smoke

Always feeling tired and "not all there" (if used chronically)

Depending on usage, can impact day to day activities and the desire to stay busy
