shud marawana be legalized

[Peegee]

Maybe for an idiot who doesn't know how to drive in the first place.

well I am azn

I'm going to send you a msg on fb

But even then it's not. It's not like getting drunk where you fall all over the place and like that. most stoners want to sit and watch TV or play video games. And I'd say at least 66% of the driving I have done in my life I have been stoned for. Actually the only two accidents I've been in I was completely sober at the time.

But bert bort surely you know it's not safe to swim or to drive or operate heavy machinery while high?

Also personal experience is not a good measure for reality. I've never had an accident while driving drunk - all of my accidents were not-at-fault or while sober. So should I drink more and drive?

Wow. It's not often I see Peeg being the one talking sense at EoFF these days. I like it.

What are you implying

[escobert]

that was loves PG

[Peegee]

It actually scares me how the us gov't treats something this harmless. If I ever consume this substance in usa I will be so giddy

[escobert]

No you will be fun fun time with Bert

I agree that driving while high is bad. A lot of my friends do it and claim they're comfortable with it, but I sure as hell know I'm not.

[DMKA]

Only in California, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, New York, Vermont, Hawaii and Alaska.

It shud remain illegal everywhere else.

It's only about as retarded as driving drunk

You should not be operating machines that can smurfing kill people when you're under the influence of mind-altering drugs, unless your doctor has recommended it for you.

And yes, that also means you shouldn't drive if you've consumed lots of caffeine to be able to stay awake. If you're tired enough to think that you need to rely on caffeine, you're too tired to drive safely.

I might be welcoming to much more liberal drug laws, but driving under the influence of that is one of the worst things I can think of, and to be quite honest, I feel good when i hear about drunk drivers killing themselves in traffic accidents, as long as they didn't also kill someone else who had nothing to do with it. Sadly, that is rarely the case.

First off, yes, there are plenty of employers, including thousands of government jobs, that do drug screenings for pot (among other things). Secondly, yes, there are thousands of people arrested for marijuana possession each year, and that drug conviction on their record can keep them from getting jobs for employers (including almost all government jobs) that do criminal background checks. A significant portion (even a majority in many areas) of most ADA's cases involve non-violent drug offenses, many of them for marijuana. The vast majority of defendants plead guilty, so you don't hear about them. Thirdly, yes, it seems almost certain that there are plenty of people who would smoke (or at least smoke more) if it was perfectly legal to buy and use. It is a silly law, but buying an illegal drug from an illegal dealer is a little bit more than speeding -- and can have much more significant consequences.

That and it's ridiculously easy to get a card these days.

Which is fine for people who never want to get a federal job anywhere (including post office or some other very common jobs) or job at a private hospital/medical facitility or police department or outside the state and are willing to bank on the DEA not having a random whim and raiding a local facility and arresting everyone involved. And on the hope that the police never come knocking on the wrong door and find the stash (which may or may not involve criminal charges, but at the least some lost money, jail time, and a huge inconvenience).

Anyway, there is no serious debate on this issue. It is only politics and mindless bigotry that keeps marijuana from being legal now (same with gay marriage, prostitution, etc.).

Exactly. the rest of the sates grow weed

And with he whole driving thing maybe it's because I grew up in a state where it was legal to drink and drive and for passengers to drink up until a few year ago. I know obviously people that are all smurfed up shouldn't be driving but I just smoke d a bowl of some ty mexican brick weed, I have about the same buzz as I do when I smoke a cig in the morning.

[Peegee]

I'm not about to google this at work but 'marawana' is decriminalized in Canada, and recently street walkers were decriminalized as well. It's a happy day when Canada > USA

Plus we can gay marriage here.

(I like canada and usa but I have plenty of grievances for both countries)

[escobert]

I think they both suck and Vermont needs to be its own country again
