Fact is, police will NOT be able to id drivers who are on it without a blood test administered and that is not going to happen without a warrant....thus will be tough to prove that the driver who hit you was stoned.

It works NOT like alcohol on a change in your personallity with just ONE.

I dont know...you folks seem like you have studied it all and got it all together and are ok with your kids and grandkids partaking....I find it rather offensive. AS DOES ALL medical groups in the USA....NOT ONE supports recreational use for the mental and phsychiatric reasons I alluded to.

Ok.....let it go....I surely do not want anyone in my family altering thier personality or damaging their pychiatric health......and I also read that ONE marijuana is equal to FIVE regular ciggs....so the lung damage etc is also there. If you read about heavy usage, it is flat out terrifying.

But, you folks are on board...remember you oft times get what you wish for !!

Oh, and ALL studies at this point lead to this FOR SURE being a gateway drug, meaning this is just a step.

Nuff out of me....

Whew. Then your. Done, maybe there is a GOD.

Stay tuned folks, more on the flip side. Let the foggies go to bed so we can discus with inteilegence.

He means well and has some good input, just so far out of reality for today, he is hard to follow.

Bucco is a kind, smart, well informed person.

I think many on TOTV would be very surprised to see how many people they know who smoked marijuana, perhaps even heavily, in the old days, and went on to lead very normal lives, had very successful careers and now call TV their home. Without ever going on to "hard drugs"

I have family members that have smoked it daily for 50 years with less harmful effects than my 40 years of beer.

Does that advice pertain to you as well?

I am sure that is true....never quoted anyone about it being that way for 100 %.

Sorry if I misled you or insulted you. Of course it is different for everyone....was just pointing out what all the medical and psychiatric folks say it can do and all the medical and phychiatric groups in the country support. I am not a medical expert as many on here must be, thus can only repeat what I have learned.

Absolutely it does. We like to think we have experience and wisdom. Bunk. We are old, out of date and YES we should allow the younger generation to take care of us advise us and make final decisions for us.

No vote here from me but I'll make a very easy prediction:


Pot will be legal, such as Colorado, in at least 30 states within 15 years.


I think back about 20 years to the states who didn't have Lottery or Casinos. As time went on they saw all the money they were losing. Now I don't know of ANY state that doesn't have some form of Lotto. And many states (not just Indian nation Casinos) have casinos and more to come such as Massachusetts. That number will reach all 50 very soon.


I also predict that there will be zero subsequent problems discovered. In other words as time passes and studies are done there will be no significant increases in car accidents or decreases in test scores etc.


A hundred years from now people will say "Marijuana used to be illegal?" What were they thinking? Much the same as we say about a law almost 100 years ago that prohibited alcohol sales.


Remember, not all laws were created with great forethought. At one time in this great nation we didn't allow women to vote or blacks to eat in the same restaurant as whites. Not all change is bad!


My 3 cents - good night - I have to set my clock ahead one hour and be at the hospital at 5:15!

okay, but I am not yet 65 so what does that have to do with me and who the hell are you to tell anyone at any age to shut up and listen. Guess you were too smoked up to understand that quite often with age comes wisdom.

[gomoho]

Golfingnut - reading over your posts you seem to be getting angry in an attempt to defend your position. RELAX man - it's all good.

[CFrance]

Amazing to me that Admin is allowing this thread to go on, the way people are starting to attack each other personally.

I personally think Russ Boston has a handle on it all. But he's already asleep.

Maybe it was supposed to be funny! It isn't.
