Maury Ballstein Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 i agree with fraud chef, im not comfortable with stoners driving stoned all the time. its probably safer than booze driving but its still a hazard. id like to see them perfect a breath test or some other field test for weed before its legalized nationally Who struggles driving stoned ? Sounds like you guys just need to pick better music for the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Honestly no more impaired drivers then already are on the road. And you're basing this on what exactly? Question. In states where pot became legal do you think there are now a LOT more people that smoke pot now that didn't because it was was illegal? Who struggles driving stoned? Struggles? Let me ask you a question. Are you impaired in any way when you smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 1) If they re-criminalize weed, that means all those for-profit prisons will fill up again. Cha-CHING. 2) If they threaten to re-criminalize weed, it may scare the small business owners who make up the industry. Then the corporate interests can move in and take over. Cha-CHING. 3) If they keep bandying the idea around, people are all whipped up into weed (when they're not worried about public bathrooms), and are distracted from a reality that includes DAPL pipeline is using Russian (not American) steel, that roads and bridges are still crumbling, and the money still pouring into Trump Inc from foreign countries. Cha-cha-cha-CHING. Always follow the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 its similar to booze, some ppl can handling driving drunk, some cant. even the same person sometimes can have a higher tolerance one day to the next so some days they would be ok and some days not. the laws cant account for those fluctuations of course, so they set a standard and enforce it. id like to see something like that for weed but i dont think they are even close on a weed breathalyzer yet. i dont think they can even test blood levels that accurately so it doesnt even have a percent allowable level like booze. and that means they have to lab test a sample, which makes everything harder and take longer yes i have been known to sample the occasional select cannabinoid phamaceutical enhancement extracts. i personally avoid driving under the influence, tho like everybody else it happens sometimes but i keep it low on purpose. didnt always. do now. i dont want the responsibility of the impairment so i try to plan around it. there should be a penalty for impaired driving even if eventually i get the ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cha-cha-cha-CHING. Always follow the money. I think you'll find that while most people here tend to take a dim view of smoking weed, they are also largely against keeping it illegal. That said: Marijuana is illegal per federal law. Federal law supersedes state law. The Obama administration only decided to not enforce existing marijuana laws, they did not rescind them. People's problem lately is that they mischaracterize a law or policy, and then complain about it and criticize it. Get it right, for %$#% sake. Only then can you actually address it.

Can you explain to us how an automatic weapon works? How about a semi-automatic? Would a bolt action rifle be considered either of those two?

Would a bolt action rifle be considered either of those two? Bolt action rifles are used for hunting of course it isn't the same. Automatics you pull the trigger and spray bullets ... Generally used in warfare Semi auto's shoot bullets as fast as you can pull the trigger ... Generally used for terrorism Enough gun talk, time to fire up the bong and then make some dinner, hopefully nobody dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
