“it’s certainly possible to take enough THC to hamper one’s driving ability”

People who claim that are covering for the ingestion of a second substance.

It’s kinda like liquor- You have to be able to “hold your THC” and know your limits, which requires practice and caution. Some people think their first time being REALLY high on pot is how it will be every time they use it. It’s not like that at all!. If you think it makes you paranoid, think again...It’s not the pot, it’s something that was already inside you. They say that in men, it lowers the sperm count...So what if it does!?...LOL!

Someplace or other I heard that William F. Buckley once sailed his yacht outside US territorial waters to try pot without violating US law.

“They say that in men, it lowers the sperm count...So what if it does!?”

With God’s help, I was able to obey his order to be fruitful and multiply. Too many intelligent young people, however, have been deceived into thinking that they “shouldn’t bring children into a world like this.”

We should ban abortion, ban birth control, drop “equal pay for equal work,” and above all do away with no-fault divorce.

Given that legal weed is one of the single most broadly supported issues in America today, it makes a lot of sense to put together a GOP plan that works rather than merely respond to inane Democrat proposals.

So give them the old roadside tests: walk a straight line, etc. It may not be enough for a conviction, but it will get them off the road that night.

Marijuana doesn't affect balance like alcohol does, nor motor skills. It does affect the blood vessels quite clearly, though, and there should be a fairly easy test one can perform on the eyes/pupils to see if someone is under the influence. It would have to be very specific though, to eliminate confusion with allergies, other medications, etc.

I went to outpatient rehab a couple years back for alcohol dependence voluntarily. In my group of around 20 folks, one guy was there for alcohol and pot. He was the only guy that had any pot issue and he was also the only other guy there voluntarily. Everyone else was there by court order. The majority were meth and heroin. To their credit, the majority of the heroin users wanted to get clean. The meth addicts just needed to be shot. They were just simply gone.

I divorce myself from the idea that I MUST OBEY...even one of my most driving instincts as a human being to “go forth and multiply” or whatever.. Don’t get me wrong, ‘cause I really dig women...When I know...from having shared in and my being almost involved in the breakups of families with children, including my own immediate and extended families...Having been born in early 1959, and no dummy, thanks to my immediate and extended families...I know now that there is no time in the history of the entire world as we know it, for individuals to experience and enjoy in their lifetimes, the most freedom(s) that human beings were ever able to enjoy. However, this is not the “white priviledge”, it’s the American priviledge. We survived the Cold War, so let’s party!

“I divorce myself from the idea that I MUST OBEY.”

God gives us the choice of choosing Him or choosing poorly.

Be nice if we could stop the delusion that legal highly taxed marijuana will be a gusher of new funds, and use legal moderately taxed marijuana to take a real bite out of cartel profits.

I’m native to South Dakota and a former lobbyist to the state legislature. It is quite easy to get initiated legislation on the ballot in South Dakota and there is a history of strange initiatives coming from nowhere and going to the voters. I seriously doubt that the voters of South Dakota will approve legalizing marijuana as it is still a very conservative place. The industrial hemp measure was defeated in the last legislative session and was strongly opposse by Governor Noem. I understand there is support for this measure by some farm groups and it might pass in November. The medical marijuana initiative probably will not get support from the doctors and hospitals and they have the means to run advertising campaigns in opposition.
