I understand. I do agree with your thoughts on NK.

Thank you - probably the most sensical post yet.

Texaninva, are you from Texas and now in Virginia Trace?

Just curious. Of course, Chi-Town is pretty obvious.

Thanks.
Since no reply I looked up your profiles. No further need.

If the make recreational Mary Jane legal, I can't wait to see the town squares at night. I think line dancing will go away as nobody will be able to keep their balance, duos will be replaced by Dead Head music etc. the sky is falling and there is a yellow submarine in Lake Sumter !!!!!!!

everybody who is so hiped up to have it legalized should educate themselves about what else comes with it. In Colorado they are experiencing high incidents of driving while stoned....gee what a surprise.

They are adding to the police forces and giving special training to spot the bobbing and weaving and what ever else.

I suspect it will go the way of cell phone by drivers. Some reports show more killed as a result of cell phones yet not much is done about it ....too many mothers that would be against drunk driving use cell phones therefore.......
The weed smokers will get the same benefit....to use a term loosely.

Colorado passed a new legislation about driving impaired last year.

Also, according to the new media there are several field administered tests available (e.g., breath, swab). I think the breath one is new.

You can bet there are some companies will capitalize on selling the kits to law enforcement around the country.

Looks like pot has gained biparticen support in florida.

Medical Cannabis Has Republican Support in Florida

I hope this is right as it looks like a go. I am for it but also accept the pit falls.

So. Twice as many folks here are smoking grass than those who aren't, suggested by the poll above.


So, does that mean that when driving a car the weed proponents think they are driving slowwwwwwwly?


Do those who use have a certain time of the day, like a happy hour? Do they throw their roaches down with the butts or use a bobby pin until their nostril hair is singed?


When making brownies is Betty Crocker chocolate chunk preferred over another brand?


Inquiring minds want to know. I feel so unhip.

Not sure I get your meaning. I vote yes, but do not ever smoke eat or otherwise consume any version of marijuana. I like many hope we never need it, but would rather our doctor make than determination rather than a guy named BUBBA.

Medical availability/use if an acceptable alternative as deemed by a physician and Rx.

Recreational use.....no thanx....does not get my vote.

I am satisfied with this view. I don't like to much control, but leave me my bud light and I will never require access to pot.

I believe weed happy hour starts at 4:20. Not that I would know or anything.

Depends on the THC % And how many tokes

Do those who use have a certain time of the day, like a happy hour? Do they throw their roaches down with the butts or use a bobby pin until their nostril hair is singed?
most save the roaches and put them in a bong to finish them off

sugar cookie doe works as well as any.

Inquiring minds want to know. I feel so unhip.
Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Like, man, isn't that like the date of something? My birthday is in April, I'm thinking maybe Cheech was born on the 20th, but I can't remember.

Pretty in the know for a Bud lite fan. And pretty harsh to an info seeker.
