I drive dangerous goods. Jet fuel, gasoline, aviation gas, and diesel. I don't drink when I drive and I sure as hell wouldn't smoke pot when I drive.

As it stands now, I don't smoke pot because I am randomly tested for it. But I also suffer severe tinnitus and once it is legalized I will probably have a puff or two (as I have had in the past and found it to help) to help me sleep.
And I would probably occasionally use it in a recreational setting. But, like alcohol, I would not use it and drive. In fact I support more stringent testing for people who drive.

The present testing is useless because it is based on a minimum threshold that can go back a couple weeks after a person has used or ingested cannabis and is no longer impaired.

Legalizing the stuff isn't going to make more people drive stoned. Anyone stupid enough to smoke up and drive is already doing that. As it stands right now there is no credible testing, but they are working on a swab test.
I generally have to do a Pre work swab test. Basically it will show anything in the system in the last 12 hrs. So as long as you don't have a beer for breakfast you can pass with a world class hangover.

I have a brother-in-law who works in a nuclear plant down in the States (Yes, Homer Simpson's job!).

I wonder how he walks that tight rope (and I believe that he does)?

Yeah, but she's pretty dead!




I'm certainly no expert on the matter, BUT I've heard it said many times that there are many people who don't smoke pot solely because it is illegal and they are not the type of people who would deliberately break the law. I can understand that because if I know something is against the law, I won't do it. Thirty years ago that wouldn't have necessarily been the case. People's philosophy change as they age.

The real reason you no longer jwalk is because you can no longer move fast enough to dodge the cars.

Are you high?

I don't smoke dope. A person in my immediate family has clear done damage to themselves by smoking dope ... no question about it. This stuff is dangerous and that part is either being ignored or intentionally hidden. The weak pot that the LeDain Commission based their findings on way back when was nothing stuff compared to the mind-altering pot that is being raised now.

Not nearly enough data ...

Justin Trudeau has a big mouth.

wrong
they used sensimilla and tropical stuff ( gold and reds) that were just as good.
;)
shows how much you actually know

If some one is screwed up because they smoke weed, its because they are self medicating for something the doctors should deal with and can't, because actually they often know fork all about it.

For example "histamine intolerance" which is diagnosed as a mental problem when its actually the immune system freaking out.
Pot being the common self medication used by people who are then branded as drug addicts when it has NOTHING to do with that - they are compensating for a disease
and OTHER PEOPLE'S JUDGMENTAL STUPIDITY

so judge the guy wrong and make things worse
:(
you are good at that

I am clearly not the expert on "dope" that you are, that's for sure.

That "self-medicator" that knows nothing about it was just a kid .. a minor and you are an a55hole. You've just proven why irresponsible degenerates like you shouldn't be making decision about distributing the stuff.

Time exists. A clock is just a tool of measurement and you are a slave to your own stupidity.

Kids are kids. They don't need easier access to any more toxins.

Will it be easier to get than it is now?

What makes you believe it's toxic when it can't kill you or harm your physiology?

I'm sure that it can't kill but brain wiring is part of your physiology and I doubt that it leaves it unaltered. There is bugger all that I can do about this but I've seen enough people damaged behaviourally by the stuff to convince me that there is danger, there.

Whatever.

Justin can't be wrong, can he?

Do enough dope and you will magically grow an invisible force field around you.

Acid maybe. Some of the garbage Big Pharma peddles for sure. Not with pot.

LIER> No one has ever done any real harm to themselves with pot. Perhaps if it wasn't bunk mixed with PCP or coke your kid wouldn't be so fukked up. Then again it might just be genitic.

Sorry. It's not a lie. You just haven't seen what I see. I wonder what CAMH has to say about Marijuana.

Let's take a look:

CAMH: CAMH study shows mental illness associated with heavy cannabis use

They think that marijuana use in an indicator of deeper psychological disorders.

You've seen them damaged by it? How?
