QUOTE(somfan @ Aug 25 2013, 12:53 AM) Yep, we are doing it in Washington State. We will see if the feds allow us to actually pull it off. Just this summer - I got stoned a few times with a lady friend --- the first time in years. The sex was good, but I tend to prefer being straight. But I think it is progress to legalize it. - Somfan I definitely think it should be legalized!

QUOTE(5thattempt @ Sep 20 2013, 09:13 AM) Just to be the one person to say otherwise (even though I have smoked a lot in the past), I'd say F* no to legalizing it for one reason....testing. There is no clear way to test for it given the time it stays in your system. Ever driving stoned before? Worse than alcohol. The first car accident where people are stoned and a few get killed will see it overturned. I think it is the primary reason you can't legalize it anyway. The other thing is psychosis....believe it or not quite a few people commit suicide on it. I believe that is the only reason it hasn't been legalized in all states. ...for alcohol there is the breathalizer and blood test but for pot nothing...

We never got into qualifications or experience, so you have limit info to call my thinking antiquated don't you think?

We could get into qualifications if you like "Antiquated thinking" does not equal name calling....It is what it is.... Also...I'd like to know the sources for which you've declared that stoned driving is worse than drunk driving...evidence/empiricle research...as in....not your own youthful adventures.... By your logic....alcohol should be the most illegal and deadly product in all human history...

I think the main underlying question here is what is good public policy in regard to drugs, especially marijuana. The so called War on Drugs, especially marijuana has and will continue to be a dismal failure that has resulted in ruining many people's lives. Other illegal drugs should be dealt with primarily as public health issues. Whether one uses marijuana or not should be a personal choice. I am wary of driving on marijuana. When I have done so, I felt that I had been somewhat impaired and I won't do it again- just like I won't talk on a cell phone or text when driving.

The "war on drugs" was a very ill-conceived political farce that was only semi-relevant in the absence of modern science. Epic failure is putting it kindly... If people want to get high off their ass, there are so many "technically legal" ways to do it I can't even think of them all this early in the AM lol Until they can manage/obliterate Rx drug abuse, alcoholism, and rampant overdose deaths from deadly illicit drugs, I really don't care to hear any nonsense about how dangerous cannibis is...it's just simply not...

I think any form of driving while impaired or distracted is a bad thing , from drinking , drugs , texting , phone, ipods . Any of these and others can cause a person to wreck or worse yet cause a wreck . I don't think anyone can argue that , there is just to much proof in the media today .
