The government can not today determine if someone is "too tired" or strung out on OTC meds.
Mostly the professionals don't fly while intoxicated (with anything). It isn't credible that post a date on the calendar pilots will start chilaxing in the cockpit because they can buy weed legally. They can already easily buy weed illegally, and already buy Sudafed legally.
The same also applies to unstated concerns about traffic cops not being able to detect things.
