When will people realize that these polls mean NOTHING because come vote time, all the people that were against it the whole time come out and just vote against it rather than biatch and moan beforehand.

/I don't care if it's legalized, I'd vote for it if I could.
//In reality there are more people that disagree, obviously.

Clearly, these people are not True Americans.

yet a majority of people surveyed probably would object to the decriminalization/legalization of all drugs, which is exactly what we farking need

FirstNationalBastard: So, the number of people who believe that weed should be legal keeps rising, yet no lawmakers are among that group.

Wonder why? The people who control their purse strings stand to lose too much, perhaps?

Thread over in two.

So if it becomes legalized, will I as a truck driver be able to use it?

If not, you don't get my support.

FTFY. Every diehard Mac fan I've ever met has been a pot-smoking hipster douche.

Probably not.

Witchyman: So if it becomes legalized, will I as a truck driver be able to use it?

Of course not while you are driving. Whether or not you can use it in your off time should be up to you and your employer.

Witchyman: So if it becomes legalized, will I as a truck driver be able to use it?

If it's handled the same way as alcohol, as an intoxicating substance, I can't see why you'd want to operate a truck while using it.

Seems just irresponsible.

Witchyman: So if it becomes legalized, will I as a truck driver be able to use it?

If not, you don't get my support.

No. I'm fairly certain truck drivers should not be allowed nice things, by law.

As a truck driver, my weight, sleeping, blood pressure, drug use, etc is scrutinized. So no, even off duty I won't be able to smoke it.

So, fark all of you. If I can't use it, I'll vote against it every farking time.

Fark all of you patchouli smelling bastards.

When I was in Amsterdam, the Word Cup was going on and on duty police officers were smoking pot in the streets watching the game. I think we should allow our cops to smoke pot on duty, it would keep them from being so taser happy.

I think he means just having it in his system, not being intoxicated. I think most places have a policy that they will drug test employees who get in an accident on the job, regardless of who's at fault. If they find pot in your system you're usually farked; they may even feel justified in accusing you of being intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Well, poll statistics are usually just made up, but I do feel there's a turn in the tide of public opinion towards it...

How, then, can we police this new system, since THC can cause a positive drug test result for weeks after your last use, while alcohol's evidence would be gone in less than a day. In other words, how would you prove that the driver is high right now as opposed to last night?

You chose to go into that profession. If you don't like the consequences of the career you went into, don't take it out on everyone else. If you want to smoke pot so bad, go into some other line of work. If you don't want to smoke pot, then why do you care if others do?

Witchyman: So if it becomes legalized, will I as a truck driver be able to use it?

If not, you don't get my support.

I don't see what your profession has to do with it; unless you're asking can you use it while you drive (or drive high) which is an obvious "no." We're not going to legalize driving drunk either I'm sure you'll be bummed to hear.

Witchyman: So if it becomes legalized, will I as a truck driver be able to use it?

In theory yes. Even after immediate consumption, the ability to operate motor vehicles is not significantly compromised. If you can smoke cigarettes while driving, you should be able to smoke a joint. The National Transportation Safety Board has proven people with the full-Thanksgiving-Turkey stone going on have no criminally-significant motor vehicle operation impairment. The government has scientifically proven that you only drive like an Arizona retiree when stoned.

Either find a way to date the metabolites you find in the drug test or have procedure for a motor skills test right after the accident. Just because there's no way to prove someone was smoking pot after an accident is no reason not to legalize it. People can get in an accident because they are too tired and there's no drug test for that. Someone could have been taking prescription pain killers a day or two before an accident and there's no way to prove they were on them at the time of the accident. Marijuana is not alone in being hard to determine when the drug was ingested.

Become an owner-operater. That way when you get picked in the Piss Lottery you have a 30 day window to get tested.. Just don't wreck and kill someone.

Oh, it's just an underground sport called "soccer" that seems like it's starting to get popular over there, but I don't know if it will catch on.

I didn't say that, biatchyman did.

Heh.

I have my two year check up next month. Haven't smoked since I got back from the desert in 1991. Trust me, I needed it.

But good luck getting your herb passed.

A sobriety test focused on dexterity, reaction time, and judgement rather than just chemically checking for particular metabolites?

Yeah, but that's just because of the liability problems your employer has because you drive a truck for him. Weed being legal doesn't mean you can drive stoned. Actually, if you are ok on all the other metrics, he can't bust you for just having been stoned in the past, so the piss test would probably go away.

Vote for it next time it comes up. If it makes you feel better, think of it as a tax on the patchouli smelling, white man dreadlock wearing bio hazards who come out of the woodwork only when the Dave Mathews Band is in town.

58%? Yeah then where the fark were they when CA put it up to a vote?

So in theory we have enough votes to put an end to this federal fark fest?
