Hey, if it's good enough for Willie, it's good enough for me.

Now, where's Luckenbach, Texas again?

The way the whole "War on Drugs" is waged is proof that our government is run by idiots.

Deterring people from using drugs, and weening off drugs those who can't handle them, is a noble cause...  But the way we're going about doing it just does not work at all.  When will this be recognized?

Rich is right....a gram ain't worth the time it takes to write the ticket. A pound will get you a night in the pokey.

With the exception of DUI, I don't care anymore about pot as I do alcohol. Keep yourself off the road when under the influence.



I agree. You can smoke pot all day and you'll only get so high. Unlike alcohol, the more you drink; the more messed up you can get even to the point of passing out, memory loss, and even dying. I would rather see law enforcement do more to control DUI rather than pop someone for a gram of weed....... :)

It is correct that you may be around people who smoke pot daily and you will never know it.  You will just think they are stupid with personality flaws.  If you were to see the same people after they had quit pot for a few years you would indeed see a difference.

I agree with the cop.. they are very little risk so far as violence unless..   you call running over people or getting into massive wrecks or killing people with machinery "violence"   Crane operator on pot killed 4 guys and injured 6 once where I worked.. he was so stoned on pot he could hardly make sentences.

I think it should be free and legal but I don't want to share the road with em..  tests have shown that they do no better in driving skill than drunks.   

I don't want to work with em where there is equipment.  They can work at some office job where the worst they can do is staple themselves to the papers.

True I wouldn't want anyone high operating heavy equipment at work or driving a car either. Just like I don't want those same people taking prescription drugs that make you drowsy doing the same. When I worked at Kodak we had a guy on "painkillers" smack into a steel girder with a 6000lb upright picker. He was lucky he didn't lose a body part or worse.

Make it legal with similar harsh penalties for operating a vehicle under the influence.

First off you don't hear about people killing others while driving high.

This is false... patently false.

Weed isn't a hallucinogen.

Id bet that many who end up with problems because of POT usage would have done so anyway, but because they have used pot it for some becomes the reason for their problems.

Plenty of people get mental problems without using any pot but you dont hear anyone saying that they got the problems because they failed to smoke enough pot.  :D

Im not that sure its a stepping stone to heavier drugs either given the millions of people around the planet that never goes beyond pot. Those that does were prolly in a risk zone anyway and would have gone to the heavier drugs regardless.

You can ignore most of the garbage after Skyrocks post.  His is spot on with the research I've done.  You can see pretty quickly after his post the people that have still bought into the propaganda that continues to be publicly funded and dumped on the masses.

Quote
Congress has recessed for the summer without voting on the medical marijuana amendment that Congressmen Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) offer every summer. Unfortunately, this means the amendment will not come up for a vote this year — the first year since 2002.

If passed, the amendment would have prevented the Justice Department — which includes the DEA — from interfering with the medical marijuana laws on the books in 12 states.

Congress decided that rather than considering the Justice Department's annual spending bill, which contains thousands of funding requests and issue-oriented amendments, Congress will instead simply vote to allow this year's funding levels to carry over until next year.   

However, there are two other pieces of legislation in Congress that your U.S. House member needs to hear from you about:

1. The Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act of 2008 (H.R. 5842) would give states greater authority to determine their own medical marijuana policies.

2. The Personal Use of Marijuana By Responsible Adults Act of 2008 (H.R. 5843) would remove federal penalties for possessing up to 3.5 ounces of marijuana.

Check out http://mpp.org for some good info on the fight to legalize.

I found whoever posted above about dealers lobbying to keep it illegal very funny.
