Yes, they can pop you now DUI. They can get you if your operating prescription medication too if there is a warning to not operate machinery or drive a vehicle.

As long as there is a good way to keep idiots like me off the road then I'm all for it lol.

One of the first people ive met or talked to finally admit its not right and messes them up to a level they should not do anything but be at home. Was waiting for someone to finally admit it and man up. Thanks Trojan366.

I don't know that I want some of my pothead friends any more productive than they are. Like Trojan I know a few quite successful daily smokers.

Some people have very different reactions to drugs. I don't smoke because it makes me useless, I'm not even good entertainment for other stoners when I'm high.

To each his own really. These people are right about people acting differed when there high. I get quiet and feel somewhat on my toes. That's why I only do it before I go to bed like I said, I couldn't go to work and be a ambitious worker like I am sober. No way, it makes me way to tired and relaxed. I'll take a couple puffs before bed as sleep like a baby. But again this isn't frequent. And the Mary Jane that I get from a long time buddy is like what you would see in Cali clinics. I think it's quite easy to get "medical grade" without having one of them med cards. It's easy to come by good stuff around here. But there's tons of shwag aswell. But yeah, point of the story is, if your goin to get stoned, stay home and relax. Don't be out driving or blazing in public. Unless its legal to do so. It can effect reaction time for sure, no argument about that. Anything you can abuse for meds can effect your ability to judge correctly. So be careful and use at your own risk. Certainly know your limits.

Weed effects people in different ways some really dummy up others can and do function normal. In saying that being under the influence of weed you can at times do something stupid as your not thinking clear.

Problem with that is even being totally straight people do stupid shit and they or others get hurt also!

Why some think you can get away with driving under the influence of drugs are naive. Sure there are times you get away just like drinking but if you get the right cop shining a light in your eyes and your like "quit it man your killing my buzz " will be asked to give consent to a blood test. By law YOU can refuse but here in CT you lose your license automatically for 30 days I believe! Then you'll go to court and try and prove your innocent in order to avoid additional penalty's.

My take on "Quality" of weed!

One of the things that made me be more abstinent to pretty much quit. Back in the day we use to get killer weed her on the East Coast. Some was grown domestically!

From killer red bud to sensimilla (sp) to real CT grown Home Grown to commercial (brown dirt nasty stuff) but you could buy it for less then $300 dollars a pound (thats right folks) sell 3 quarters for a $100 bucks each make $30 bucks and keep a quarter for your head!

Back in the day when just the smell stickiness of the buds to color you could tell the quality of the POT! Then came the 90's when all weed was brown or occasionally you'd get some green bud. This "brown" weed had different potency's in my opinion! Then you heard rumors of people "lacing" weed with other drugs or chemicals! True? I dunno

So that was scary. Then you take into the consideration of the "war on drugs" and ll the laws that passed that practically if you were caught with a dime bag it was almost as punishable if you were caught with a kilo of CRACK! You practically had to consider doing time for weed? WTF So I quit!

Now that we will have growers and quality control and legalization maybe I'll have to jump back in! If I could only get me some Red Bud that made your lungs expand so bad you coughed your head off but man you use to get so stoned! :roflmao:

Let me ask you something about this medical Mary Jane! Back in the day you could buy little purple pills and I was told that they were THC pills. The high was right on just like you smoked. You only had to do half or you were "to stoned" but they weren't cheap. Then I never seen them again!

So I ask WHY is it being grown why is the THC being made synthetically and sold? Why grow plants ,dry it ,package it , roll it or pack a bowl when you can just swallow a pill? :confused:

Just want to clear something up about medical weed. My thought is I'm assuming it's the THC they're after when there could be other properties in the weed that helps those that are ill.

My thought was the THC gets them stoned therefore they forget ( a benefit of weed) that they are sick and it makes them feel better. :roflmao:

( I know I should not make fun of this as some do benefit so I apologize :eek: )

That is what the AMA says. There is no scientific evidence that inhaling burning plants is good for your lungs, nor any evidence that THC pills have a different effect than smoking when used in a double blind study.

The discovery that MJ could help some glaucoma patients was a godsend for the Legalize group. Later discoveries that it could reduce some nausea from some patients on some chemo therapies was icing on the cake.

The "Medical" movement has nothing to do with medicine. It's one of those "How Do You Eat An Elephant" things. One bite at a time. It's more a PR tool than anything else.

We are so used to political campaigns that lie to us, that we have become a country of lemmings.

You will know in 10 years or less whether those laws will stick.

Why is Alcohol acceptable and MJ not? Simply because of popularity. The majority of people in the US use alcohol at one level or another. Not true for pot. Some people smoke it and it just makes them stupid and lazy. This is the category I'm in. I've smoked pot for a few years, but never really got anything positive from it effects. I only smoked it when other people were to be "cool". Don't remember ever buying any. It makes me nervous, forgetful, and unmotivated. Plus alcohol will always be cheap. The time to grow, the yield, the ease of distribution, make it cheaper than soda pop to produce. Only taxes and mandates make beer and wine cost more than bottled Pepsi.

Pat beat me to it. Medical THC pills today is for people that need the THC but NOT the high. They can still get the medicinal value for glaucoma and cancer or aids or whatever, but the scientists have figured out the way to do THC so it doesn't effect your synapses as if you smoked. It is a legit way of proving THC works for medical conditions. Just part of the bigger picture.

Here is the latest on Amendment 64 in CO:

Breaking news from the office of Attorney General John Suthers: "The proponents of Amendment 64 told voters that it imposed a surtax of up to 15 % on marijuana sale that would result in up to $40 million each year going to K-12 schools in the state. In fact Amendment 64 did not comply with required language under the Taxpayers Bill of Rights and no such tax will be imposed. Instead it will be up to the Colorado Legislature whether to refer such a tax to the voters and up to the voters of Colorado whether to actually impose the tax. Therefore, such revenue is speculative and will not be forthcoming when Amendment 64 begins to be implemented.”
