Marijuana

[VaBusa]

Move To Washington. Recreational Use In Your Home Is 100 % Legal medical or not... I'm not a smoker of any sort myself, to each his own is the way I see it. It doesn't affect me or my family for you to sit at home and smoke the house down... I don't want to see you driving though, if I can't blow over a .04, you can't ride around high...

It's legal in my birth state of Colorado, and as luck would have it, my Mom and sister live there...Colorado is now trying to pass legislation to allow for "pot tourism". If that passes, it'll be legal for out-of-staters to find a whole new Rocky Mountain High

Hi Mom! I'm home!!

 

[zukracer]

Lots! I can think of lots of things pot heads don't do while high that drinkers do while drinking.......

1:don't stay out late at bars and drive home intoxicated as they are already asleep on the sofa
2:don't lose total ability to control a vehicle and wind up killing somebody
3:don't weave all over bringing attn to oneself and get arrested for DUI.
4:don't make stupid decisions while under the influence and said blessed herb, drive a vehicle and kill people
5:lastly and most importantly smokers don't get violent like drinkers do.

If any of the above were not true youd hear daily about the pothead who passed out and ran over a biker or whatever but you don't. I cannot recall hearing about a traffic accident and the reporter said '.....because they smoked.'
Walk into a bar and chances are you will end up seeing somebody throw a punch or two.
Walk into a hooka lounge and you will leave with the numbers to the twenty new friends/connects you just made.

Yes and it seems 'smurfing' is the latest thing. Smurfing is where shoppers go from store to store stocking up on legal weed. It seems now this has created a new business where folks from out of state are now traveling there, stocking up and coming back home to sell it locally.

Can we smoke in Blanc Busa's group?

No!
Guns and pot don't mix.

I'll support it just as soon as there is some reasonable way to prevent second hand exposure. Since that'll never happen, I'm voting No.

btw, the whole "medical marijuana" thing is a joke; they've already developed a synthetic version that provides most of the same medical benefits without the euphoria that THC brings, and no one was interested. In fact, a large number of pro legalization people attacked the idea all together!

Lets at least be honest in the discussion, its not at all about medical assistance. People just want to get baked.

I would tend to agree. For the most part I think folks are milking that and not truly in medical need of it.
The one or two shows on tv show these so called 'patients' and they look like your typical stoner.
Personally I'd rather see folks using natural homeopathic remedies than man made pharmaceutical concoctions.

Who here has been in an accident and can't remember anything that happen over a period of time? Sure you remember getting on the bike or in the car, but there a blank spot after that till you woke up in the hospital.

Messed up alcohol has the same effect on the brain.

I agree with Mracer though. Curious can your girlfriend sit around a campfire? Near a fireplace in a home? Smoky BBQ? Or just cig smoke is bad?

Thats a good question...I dont think she's very sensitive to campfire smoke; at least she's never really had a problem with them. She likes fireplaces and used to hang out around her parent's wood burning stove, so I think it might just be cigarette/marijuana smoke that triggers her...though she does have some other asthma-lime things that crop up from time to time, so I'm not really sure.

Since marijauna smoke and cig smoke contain totally different chemical make up I believe there's more to it the smoke. I don't have asthma so don't quote me on this but a lot of asthma attacks are closely related to panic attacks the same as panic attacks cause angina like symptoms.

I'm not saying all asthma attacks are panic attacks, but I bet if u have asthma then have a panic attack, it would almost for sure always include an asthma attack and reaching for your inhaler.

Seems like campfires would be one of the most dangerous........

Camping and Campfires. Don’t let asthma keep you from sleeping under the stars. With a little planning you can breathe easy on your next camping trip. Just make sure you have a quick-relief inhaler with you at all times and use it at the first sign of worsening symptoms.
Create an asthma backpack. The Asthma Backpack should include:

Copies of your Asthma Action Plan
An extra written prescription in case medication is lost or destroyed
Insurance card and healthcare provider contact information
Both quick-relief and controller medications (make sure there is enough to get you through your stay, and extra in case you get held-over unexpectedly)
A spacer
A Peak Flow Meter
Clean camping supplies. Sleeping bags that have been stored over the summer in the garage or the back of the closet are probably housing dust mites, which can be an asthma trigger. To reduce dust mite exposure, clean the sleeping bag per the manufacturer’s instructions by machine washing (preferably in hot water) or dry-cleaning. Tents can quickly become dusty inside or moldy from where the rain leaked in. Dust frequently with a damp towel, and dry puddles of water that may form in your tent immediately.
Avoid or limit exposure to campfire smoke. Campfire smoke can irritate your eyes, throat and lungs. When grilling dinner, toasting marshmallows or warming up next to the fire stand as far away as possible, and position yourself so the wind does not blow the smoke in your face.

Ok well maybe but the stoners that lived next door to me at NC State in the dorms did all of that crap most days as a result of their weed smoking. No booze but man they smoked to the point they passed out, crapped their pants, pissed themselves, puked, etc. They would often miss school for days at a time because they were so baked. I've seen the moderate users and they are quite often fully functional, hell in some cases more so

I think any of the arguments for why its better/safer than drinking really don't hold any more water than saying "all good things in moderation"...which applies to booze too

 

[zukracer]

and I think if they would just legalize it, educate officially about it, control the strains that are out there (ie no PCP laced crap) and more importantly TAX it, our economy would be vastly better off. At least there would be more money to fund all the social programs that are often a result of over use of these very drugs.

Tell that to my girlfriend who goes into repiratory distress everytime someone nearby lights up. Second hand smoke is a medically documented health hazard, and you have no right to expose others. Second hand smoke kills, and in my book, that makes smokers murderers.

Wow! Murderers. You don't have to stand next to someone that is smoking. There is sections for people to smoke in. You don't have to smoke marijuana either. You can cook with it, or just eat it raw. So even though the majority will smoke it not all have to or would want to.

Song about getting high, but edited some for your safety and convenience...may not want to play too loud if you're at work

Yeah, I found that description kind of harsh too, hence I replied that anything we choose to do requires responsibility...driving, speeding, gun ownership, drinking, you name it, your actions can lead to someone else's demise due to carelessness...

I can't help but chuckle over the simple fact that many here that may be against the legalization of marijuana routinely break the law in other ways on their Busas Hello, pot? Kettle?
