yep cpxx.. there is more to life than law.   laws get ignored all the time.. the druggies break the law because the drug laws are stupid and badly enforced and there is a huge profit to be made just in the fact that there is a demand that is illegal.

Life would still go on... the people who are addicts would still be addicts.  the people who aren't.. well it is not because it is illegal.. it is because they have other reasons.. their health.. their jobs..   their own brand of morality and most.. like to experience life.

coffee.. heroin does not make you hallucinate..  it makes you not care about your problems.   If you get any of the nasty cancers before you die they will probly give you all the morphine you want.

Treat it like Liquour and cigarettes.


If it's like liquor and cigarettes then it should stay illegal. Tobacco kills more people than anything, and liquor is responsible for 50% of traffic fatalities and who knows how many wrecked lives?

Lumping the three together puts marijuana in a far worse light and makes it seem more dangerous and powerful than it really is....saying it should be legal cause it's no worse than tobacco and alcohol is like saying firecrackers should be legal cause they're no more dangerous than hand grenades.

Never turn up at work on your day off.  :O The brand's literature said 24 hour detection. Quite a few people got fired. Metabolism helps on those tests I think.

How can you get fired for smoking weed off the clock?

Where do you work? If you're in the Air Force or something... far call... though I suspect that you wouldn't be smoking at all if you were in the Air Force.

The hunger for more is what drives men forward. Without this hunger there would be no innovation, no discovery, no free enterprise and no social evolution.

It's laziness and envy that turn men evil.

It was a car dealership at the time. I was being nice and went with a friend to test-drive some cars who was intimidated by the vulture-like salesmen. I walked past my department, got called over, and "Hey while you're here, go see HR upstairs, they just asked for you." IIRC, some mechanics, the customer complaints manager, "the last person you'd suspect" from the parts department, and a gaggle of sales people were all fired. The techs were all for pot, the sales people for mostly cocaine. All of it was triggered by somebody at another store getting caught doing something they shouldn't.

I've got a successful business of my own now.. doesn't matter what I do in the evenings as long as it's an evening-only hobby.

BC is kind of weak, like 3/5. Try something strong like OG Kush or NY Diesel. Those will put you on your butt.

airhead.. I have heard that smoking a joint is like the tar from 20 ciggs..  that seems about right by looking at pipes that have had pot smoked in em.

I also seen where pot heads do as bad or worse on a driving course than drunks so...

I would say lumping pot in with ciggs and booze is pretty fair.

That's why you use a vaporizer. No tar. Very popular amongst cancer patients who can't smoke a joint... or you bake brownies & cookies. Hell you can go to a protest in cali and buy marijuanna confections from a booth. ID? Not neccessary. Marijunna Medical card? Not needed either.

People have been getting high without damaging their lungs for a very long time.

well.. people will still smoke it.   and.. that does not get over the fact that they are as impaired when they drive as any drunk.

Point is.. it is not some harmless drug.   not if you are sharing the road with the guy high on it.

Does that mean we have the right to ban it?

Not in my opinion...  I don't think that it is any of my business what people get loaded on so long as they don't try to run machinery or.. talk to me.
