LOL Anthony. I think Tanner just has a skewed perspective, as the people he deals with that are "on the weed" aren't usually just stoned, but stoned criminals / degenerates / etc.

lol on the weed!

tannerm walks in @ 1:20

It's more that people are becoming more conservative and want less government.

The war on drugs hasn't work, we are spending shit load of money because of it, get rid of the law.

This. I do not see federal authority to make drug laws in the constituiton

[mustang_revival]

What I'm waiting for is a time when employers use a different method of drug testing for weed. One that tests for thc content at that specific point in time, not just a piss test that shows if you've smoked up to one month ago. I know the technology exists, like a breathalyzer but for weed.

There is a mouth swab they use that can tell use in the last couple of hours.

Tanner just has the typical cop, Reefer Madness mentality. It's all he knows, because its all he has been exposed to. I've seen Matt say the same stuff.

Jared hit the nail on the head. There are some that abuse it and fit the stereotype. There are, IMO, a lot more that you'd never know. I know tons of high level execs that partake, and you'd never know. Stereotypes are true, to an extent, but it doesn't fit in every case.

Chicks cant hold dey smoke.

Seriously though I have smoked with some of the smartest people on the planet and smoked with what I have to assume are retarded people.
By smartest I do mean multiple PhD degrees in multiple fields in the tech industry. People that do very important jobs that I cant really go into more detail about that you would never guess smoked.

Its like anything though, control and moderation and common sense. Pizza is great but if you eat it every meal of every day it aint so good for your health. I don't drink but don't car when others do just in moderation. Cant stand overly drunk people.



Remember that the only reason it was deemed illegal was because of the logging industry. .. .... well if memory serves, I do smoke so my memory is prolly shot.

[naynay]

Not so bad in moderation, but consider Wild Bill (and now nunu) as examples of extreme users ad nauseum.

here you go again, farva.

spelling, right? not vocabulary, amirite?

I could give two shits if they legalize weed. To me it is a natural drug that grows in the wild. I have seen people with issues because of it though, so please don't give me the, it will not fuck up your mind argument. If they legalize it though I would like to see them go hard core on all of the harder drugs. I have seen many lives fucked up and lost over crack and meth. I have told a few of the stories previously and do not feel like typing them again. Hardcore alcoholics also have issues. I went to a AA meeting one time on a girl on girl fight and I swear everyone in the place was out of their mind. It was like I walked into a circus.

I have also seen prescription drugs fuck up more people than weed ever has. I think they should go after these doctors that prescribe that shit like it is candy. I love how they prescribe this shit to younger and younger kids and by the time they are 16, they have lost their fucking mind. However I am sure there is to much money in it for it to ever change.

I have no problem with it, but I don't smoke. I have in the past years ago, I just got away from it. The problem lies with individual companies banning it. Companies can make their own policies. Legalize it and treat it like alcohol, but if you work for a company that does not approve of it and you get fired, tough shit.

[matts5.0]

of course Nancy(I typed naynay, it changed it to Nancy, I think it's fitting) would think it's because the country is becoming more liberal. the majority of working contributing Americans are becoming more conservative, they want less government. the leaches and socialists want more government. get it right. anyways, I'm all for legalization.

random pic thread? no.. care to elaborate your opinion? prolly not.

[Captain Crawfish]

everybody smokes weeeeed!! buncha friggin hippies will get a rude awakening shortly. they have no idea what hope and change will bring in the next few yrs.

[Sgt Beavis]

This has nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism. If you were to put a political bent on this it would be libertarianism.

But politics aside, people are finally realizing that the governments stance on this issue is just straight up BS. Pot isn't anywhere near as dangerous as the government has lead us to believe. It isn't even as dangerous as alcohol. I think most of us are sick and tired of paying to put people in prison for simple possession. Heck we wouldn't have nearly as many in there for drug dealing or violent crime from dealing if we killed the black market for all drugs.

We can see that the way we are currently doing this isn't working and hasn't been working since Nixon started this mess. It is time to try something different. Personally I would go beyond pot and make everything legal. Then tax the hell out of and use that money for treatment centers. Prisons should be reserved for those that hurt others, not themselves.

I've never smoked pot or done any drugs. I never will either. I barely even drink. Legalizing drugs won't change that because it isn't the law that keeps me from doing those things. I keep me from doing those things because I choose to do so. The same goes for most people in this world.

Yup and those with clearances.

I actually believe that a lot of companies will just change their policies and have the usual wording in there. Hell, a lot of leadership in these organizations are pot heads.

Now gov clearances....that's the one I'm not sure of at all.

[Tannerm]

They can legalize it all they want. I have seen the worst in people on both substances. Skewed view? Maybe. But the question I responded to was about a stoner and a drunk. If I knew they were either and I was hiring, I would probably pass them up for someone else who will piss clean etc. my experience with stoners and drunks are unfortunately not what most see. Glad some of y'all got it. Others, sorry u got butthurt.
