How will the legalization of cannabis improve highway transportation for those of us who don't use pot and currently drive triggered dodging the present insanity using our highways?
Your lack of logic is revealing. It is illegal to drive impaired. People still do it but it is illegal. The thing about pot is that anyone who doesn't smoke can easily tell if someone has been getting high in a car, sometimes ten feet away from the car. point being they are easily caught and most pot smokers know this. It currently has been shown that the most dangerous person on the road is on engrossed in his or her cell phone. Texting or watching video's while driving is just about the most dangerous activity I can think of while driving. Being super drunk compares but not as many people do that.
I was thinking more along the lines of driving while still high from earlier use........not smoking while driving....
I'm not a user so no......I cant apply a ton of logic......that's why I asked the question.
I've never in my life seen pot work out well for anyone. The best outcome seems to be [bleep] job performance and underemployment. On the worse end of the spectrum is pretty severe mental illness, family instability, etc.
Cost/benefit analysis would likely show that the overall "war" on drugs has not proven effective at preventing drug abuse or issues relating to it.
It’s been an abysmal failure. Absolutely and completely. Overwhelmingly so.
ssshhh,
it's an evil weed.
roots in hell like the movie points out.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
Mike s: In my almost 30 years of dealing with drug addicts, drug dealers and drug crazed prostitutes/criminals as a LEO - I never came across one that did not start out as a "Cannabis" user! Cannabis is a gateway drug and has NO positive long term effects on the human body or the human psyche. Indeed some choose to become blotto by ingesting cannabis to "relieve pain" and I feel sorry for them and that necessity. I have NEVER and will NEVER use the mary jane for any reason nor condone it for any of my family! PERIOD! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
It's been on-the-books legal in AK since 2014 and defacto-legal through the state courts for about 30+ years pre-2014. I just came back inside from a trips out the the airstrip a few minutes ago and as near as I could tell, the sky was still located where it has always been. Legalizing weed has freed us up to attend other matters. Of course enforcement wasn't a priority to begin with anyway.
In my 30-odd years in LE I have yet to encounter a stoner who pulled a knife gun, bat, 2x4 on me or otherwise tried to kick my a$$. I can't count how many drunks I had to physically hurt and draw blood to subdue in the same number of years.
Never used it. Have no interest in using it. I couldn't care less if other people use it in their own home
But if you haven't witnessed someone eat an entire bag of edibles you should, it's phuuckking awesome........"it's just weed" turns into "is he on pcp?". Pretty cool stuff...for the sober, not the fella tripping balls.
While I don't care if people smoke meth, heroin, or weed. Let's not act like any of those substances can't render the user incapable of operating a M.V. or making sound decisions....just like alcohol.
But if you want, smoke all you can. Especially fentanyl laced varieties, it's more better.
It's all addictive to some degree or another depending on the person and what it is, dosage, motivation and various other factors. The mother has a right to her feelings about her son since she cares about him and raised him. That said, many women are prone to inappropriate reactions to these things, just as many men are. Rather than going to her husband and son about this, many would get on the megaphone and cry to her Girlfriends about it for sympathy and emotional support. Before you know it, she just trashed her son's reputation and limited his employment opportunities. Gossip and railing accusations are common reactions that feminine emotional wrecks use all the time. Ever notice the trolls around here? They are exhibiting these feminine traits of insecurities as they lash out.

Like any medication I believe it affects different people individually. The second to the last boss I worked for was a mechanical engineer by education. Borderline genius on the concept and processes of cold-motor testing of gas auto engines. He knew exactly what the test results indicated and what the issues were. Jewish by birth but not a staunch practitioner, he was a diehard conservative (maybe the weed?). His issue was that while being a great engineer he was a poor maintenance supervisor which he freely admitted.
Would you rather your adult children be addicted to nicotine or alcohol, or smoke the occasional joint?
None of the above.
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

It is only a gateway to breaking the law (that’s actually a big step to take for a lot of people). It is definitely NOT a gateway to harder drugs in and of itself.
It’s a tired argument that lacks logic.
Intellectual honesty is the most important character trait in human beings.

If mom is still supporting him, paying car insurance, whatever....she has every right to have a say in it. I know 22 year olds that are far from being an adult.
