One benefit of stronger marijuana is that less smoke needs to be inhaled in order to achieve a given level of intoxication.

I thought all the kool dudes use a vape pen now.

[Eagles6]

Don’t partake but as I recall the purpose of smoking was to get high and to get the most out of your stash so pulling a clinton, i.e. smoking but not inhaling (yeah, right) would be wasting your investment.

[TigersEye]

The kool dudes might be. I'm getting to be an old dude now. ;^)

I bought the whole setup for e-cigarettes and it just didn't do it for me so I'm still smoking the old-timey analog tobacco. I like campfires and charcoal fired BBQs too. I'm such a dinosaur.

[Fightin Whitey]

Prolly nothin hard enough in that household either.

[TigersEye]

0bama’s bone head. I’ve always thought of him as a dildo.

...federal law prohibits anyone who uses a controlled substance from "shipping, transporting, receiving or possessing firearms or ammunition."

Does that include things like Prozac, Celebrex, insulin, and other normal prescription drugs?

[steve86]

No, the specific drugs you mentioned are not controlled substances.

Others are. For example. Ritalin, which is used for adults as well.

[TigersEye]

Yes, those are controlled substances but ... (someone help me here, I’ve got nothin’)

[Political Junkie Too]

Thanks. I thought that requiring a prescription meant that it was being controlled.

-PJ

[steve86]

The opiate derivatives are controlled as well, of course. Ritalin is a schedule II.

[steve86]

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply Ritalin is an opiate derivative. It (Methylphenidate) is a phenethylamine class drug.

[steve86]

You are correct in the very broad sense of a controlled drug being a drug for which the government controls distribution and use. But that’s not what everyone (including the ATF or whoever) means what they talk about “controlled substances”.

[TigersEye]

I was thinking of the legal sense. Where are the distinctions broken down by ATF or whoever?

[Fightin Whitey]

He despises the U.S.

That’s what I hate about it all.

[boop]

"Scheduled" and "controlled" are sometimes confused with "by prescription only".

Scheduled drugs are rated from I to V. These are drugs like Ritalin, oxycodone, methadone.

Schedule I are drugs that are only able to be used in research. PCP, heroin, LSD, marijuana.

If your neighborhood doctor has a DEA license it is II-V only.

That's why there is no such thing as "prescription medical marijuana".

You can obtain a "recommendation" from a doctor, but the patient must then find a "legal" dispensary.

If a doctor wrote a Rx for MJ, he'd be breaking Federal law.

With legal pot in CA and WA, this is a moot point.

[boop]

Oops, my post omitted a line. Ritalin, oxycodone and methadone are schedule II. Legal to prescribe.

BUT, they require special prescription paper. They cannot be phoned in or faxed.

Needs to be a hard copy.

[boop]

Crap, legal pot in CO, NOT CA! (Yet)

Sorry.

[sargon]

So she wants to smoke pot and carry a gun... I don’t think I feel comfortable with that.

You're being hysterical. Would you feel more comfortable with this woman drinking alcohol and carrying a gun?

Alcohol is by far a more dangerous drug than pot, whether legal or not. Alcohol is magnitudes more likely to produce aggression, poor judgment, and violence in an individual than virtually any other contraband.

So lemme get this straight: a person who has recently used a recreational substance (illegal or not), or who even might use one, must forfeit their Unalienable right to self-defense? That's preposterous.

Your understanding of the concept of Freedom seems profoundly shallow...
