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

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

Add menthol to your bong to take away the harshness. All you have to do is ask.

420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term used that refers to the consumption of cannabis and by extension, as a way to identify oneself with cannabis subculture or simply cannabis itself. Observances based on the number 420 include smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m. (with some sources also indicating 4:20 a.m. as we do have some early risers in The Villages on any given day), as well as smoking and celebrating cannabis on the date April 20 (4/20).
As to being Cheech's bday, I have no idea.

You know...I can't put my finger on it...and I'm gonna really sound like a crotchety, set-in-my-ways old fart even more so than I really am, nevertheless...

I find myself questioning the validity of this poll. I know it's not scientific, but even for this sort of simple show-of-hands, I find it hard to believe that two-thirds of The Villagers favor legalization of recreational marijuana. Medical? Sure. But recreational?!? I just can't believe it.

(Now be nice!) :duck:

Not that I doubt your stats but it is WAY too early (in Colorado) to see any causation studies. Just not enough data yet for a valid theory to be made.

The OP asks if you "support the legalization".

So we have one poster that is beating this drum like there is no tomorrow, but claims not to smoke. Then we have another poster, that has mysteriously disappeared, also on the band wagon that says you can't know what you are talking about unless you smoke. What's the deal. And for every pro marijuana link you want to provide, if I was so inclined, I could find one against so it really is a mute point. You are either for or against based on life experience and the knowledge you have of the subject. I for one don't see the need to do research to talk myself into believing differently.

rp001 03-13-2014 08:06 AM
I think it is totally wrong for a person to place blame on a substance and not take into account addictive personality traits. To blame any one substance is just a form of rationalization. If one in question didn't get you , something else would, sometimes even with proper psychological care. First hand experience, pot is NOT A GATEWAY drug. Alcohol,salt, sugar, and even over the counter drugs used to self medicate are far worse.

JB in TV 03-13-2014 08:16 AM
I stop by this thread to see what is new preriodically, but have no more to add. I voted, commented, and have no intention of changing anyone's mind.

Golfingnut 03-13-2014 08:37 AM
I am happy to say I am on the right side of this issue.

For First Time, Americans Favor Legalizing Marijuana

I don't and won't smoke. Live your life and let others live theirs. It's that simple.

The point you are missing is those opposed believe people choosing to live their lives in this matter could negatively affect them and society. No different then people believe alcohol should be banned or atheists objecting
to open displays of Christian symbols. We all have our opinions on what is right or wrong - it's not simply a matter of allowing people to choose how to live their lives - you also have to consider the affects of those choices on others. You believe there will be none, I believe there will be some. So we are at a stalemate.

We have argued pro / con on whether pot is a gateway drug ad infinitum ... the horse is a bloody pulp at this point. Most of us have known people to whom it was definitely a gateway drug. Yes, personality shortcomings are a factor too ... excessive usage of pot (or booze, or various other "vices") is also a factor.

Guess we'll all more or less continue to believe what our own set of eyeballs has shown us over the years.

Actually, you are on the left side of the issue but I don't want to quibble.

Winning indeed, if that's the word for it, in a poll of aging baby boomers (myself included). Winning in terms of the broader left wing perspective, no comment since a) it would be quite critical and b) off topic anyway. I would simply say look at the state the US is in today and it is quite sad on multiple dimensions.
