I have to watch *everything* and *everyone*.

I don’t even trust green lights.

I check both ways before going through.

We have a fairly low incident of drunk drivers here, now that the smoking ban has shut down most of the bars.

Drug use is up, though.

But it's not 'Vape" vape.

People who would not tool around smoking a real joint could be emboldened by the security of not looking like they’re smoking a real joint.

You *know* there are people eager to abuse whatever loophole they find.

I favor one strike laws.

If I can stand life sober, so can everybody else.

I was just reading comments on the local news site that pot, unlike cigarettes, does not harm lungs or cause cancer.

A report just came out showing that it does both, *much* worse than cigarettes.

I’m sure I’ll be mauled for saying that.

Not that I care.

“By this time the soma had begun to work. Eyes shone, cheeks were flushed, the inner light of universal benevolence broke out on every face in happy, friendly smiles. Even Bernard felt himself a little melted.”

“When the Warden started booming, she had inconspicuously swallowed half a gramme of soma, with the result that she could now sit, serenely not listening, thinking of nothing at all, but with her large blue eyes fixed on the Warden’s face in an expression of rapt attention.”

“Benito was notoriously good-natured. People said of him that he could have got through life without ever touching soma. The malice and bad tempers from which other people had to take holidays never afflicted him. Reality for Benito was always sunny.”

Give the sheep grass.

They’ll be complacent and content...and much easier to control.

You shouldn't get mauled for saying it. You should get mauled if you just accepted it as accurate without looking into any further.

Beer leaves the system in days and is far different from the psychotropic effects of THC of pot.

The psychotropic effects of THC end within a few hours with vaping or smoking and within about 12-16 hours with oral ingestion. Detectable MJ metabolites exist for longer, but aren't psychoactive.

Just as the man who killed his wife from eating pot cookies, just as the suicide kid who jumped to his death after eating pot laced cookies. .

The high doses in edibles are a real problem. They should be cut by at least 75% per item. This should be regulated just as is beer %alcohol, etc.

One good thing about MJ is that a user tends to "never do that again" after getting too high a dose. Very different from alcohol, where the dose over time tends to go higher even after a bad experience (except for me, I threw up once and quit forever)

Just as I don’t bicker with liberals, I do not discourse with dope defenders.

No matter what evidence is presented, they will unfailingly claim it’s “bogus”.

Then you wasted your time reading the report. Nothing it said was going to make any difference one way or the other.

Thanks for making my point.

THC does not leave the system never to return. THC, particularly repeated use, does destroy brain capacity and function.

It is the old but true line, “use pot and nothing will happen to you.” and you continue to be nothing.

It is real simple pot smokers should not be allowed to drive at all. period.

I don't have to know that to know that if it had said the exact opposite you wouldn't have believed it.
