I think you are right (about me mixing up two different replies as if from one person).  Glad you don't think it is moral to drive impaired.  And I think few people who cared about impaired driving are new to caring about it - most were already concerned.  What is new (for me at least) is contemplating how vast the increase will likely be (because I see the scale of a new production/manufacturing/consumption facility a block from my home - hundreds of thousands of square feet!)  I did not anticipate a lot more usage, just less hassle for those inclined to use.  Business owners anticipating "millions of dollars per annum" implies a great deal of unfulfilled demand.  Combine that with the statements in this thread about how it is "nothing new" for Alaskans to tok and drive.  If true, we may be making a monumental mistake.
