Brent and the maryjane

[rash]

there is NOTHING wrong with mary jane.

I've never done it, but still...that doesn't mean I will cast aspersions toward those who believe in smoking it.

*Lobby for Brent to stay folks!

Keep Brent! Keep Brent!

KEEP BRENT!!!

You can smoke it all you want to. Just dont do it on probation or parole.

I'm waiting for the details, but the issue isn't the pot. It's the judgement.

Yep. One of my friends was on probation and he wouldnt even stand near me when I sacrificed the sacred plant to the fire gods.

Exactly.

I'm not sure why this thread took a turn to discussing whether or not smoking pot and driving was worse than drinking and driving......seems like some are missing the boat entirely.

One is illegal and the other is currently prohibited by the terms of his release from jail.

It doesn't matter what he chose to do, he's demonstrated now for the 3rd time that he cannot make responsible decisions.

DUI #1 wasn't enough to influence his behavior and ultimately he got another DUI and killed someone in the process. DUI #2 / Manslaughter apparently isn't enough to get him to walk the straight and narrow and here we are with a failed piss test.

I think he'll be lucky to play again simply because he appears to lack responsible decision making skills. If this piss test sticks he's probably lengthened his stay behind bars anyway.

The guy is an idiot. Not because pot is less harmful than alcohol but because he has repeatedly shown that he is incapable of acting responsibly, even after killing someone.

If the test came back positive, I don't know if theres much more to find out. The way these tests work is based on cutoffs. If you are under the cutoff, you pass. If you are over, you get a preliminary positive. The preliminary positive is then sent to a lab and I believe they use Mass Spectrometry to get a precise amount. Mass Spec is ridiculously accurate providing the machine has been calibrated correctly and the testing procedure is sound. Odds are you'll find both of those things from a company who specializes in testing urinalysis.

Doubtful this was a home test kit they picked up from Walgreens on the way to the courthouse.

You seem like the type that tags bathroom stalls with "420" and "Poke Smot".

This was a funny thread....:laugh2: The case between the devil weed and alcohol.

What is also funny to me is that some states like Cali, Colorado and other states that may be considering legalizing herb for medical purposes, but there is not a state in the USA that will legalize alcohol for medical reasons.

One is a man made mixture, the other comes from the ground just like any other plant. Both are bad for you but you can get alcohol at almost any store, but you cannot get the red bud unless you know someone and then it's very expensive unless you just want some ditch weed.

The moral of the story is, if you drink, it comes with it's own can or bottle. If you want to partake in a little of the doobie you have to buy bongs, Zig-Zags, ZZ Top's, small pipes, roach clips, and lots of Cheetos and other various snacks. Very expensive...

And some people think that the maryjane is a gateway drug. Actually, it's not. Cocaine is a gateway drug mostly towards heroin. Getting off alcohol is a lot harder than getting off of the green stick, as an alcoholic has to go through DT's, treatments with Antabuse and attend AA coundeling while a stoner has none of those problems, his only problem is finding another ounce which will cost around $350.00 for the skunk and around $75.00 for some brown from Mexico.

So, kids, don't drink or smoke! Don't drive unless you are totally sober, you will be a better person for it and your community will be better off also.

Oh, and watch out for prescription drugs, they are just as dangerous if not more.

Seacrest out...

They don't medicalize alcohol becuase its already legal. If you were to require a subscription then it would be less available. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

I don't know either, fuzzy. Maybe someday the weed will become legal.

And the point I was really making is if you can, don't partake in either.

That was pretty clear IMO.

I think he was trying to make the point that there is medically acknowledged benefit to grass. But booze? Not so much.

Nothing good ever comes from being drunk or being stoned!

Especially while on probation!

And being out late after Midnight does not help anyone either, unless you are going to work.

 

[joseephuss]

That is not true at all. Lots of great stories arise out of someone being drunk or stoned. Lots of funny, entertaining videos find their way onto youtube from someone being drunk or stoned. There have also been some good hook ups due to one or more people being drunk or stoned.

This is the furthest thing from the truth that's ever been said.

It makes no sense to me for Marijuana to be illegal.

The estimated cost to enforce it is 7.6 Billion per year.

All profits go to illegal entities.

Does anybody ever go to rehab for Marijuana? I've watched dozens of the show Intervention and have never seen anybody on the show due to Marijuana. It is always alcohol, meth, prescription pills, crack and heroin.

They should increase the penalties and enforcement for selling drugs to schools kids. They could use some of the 7.6 Billion saved if Marijuana was legal for adults.

Some of the 7.6 Billion could also be used to better enforce the addictive drugs like Meth which also cause crazed behavior.

In theory, not only could the country save as much as 7.6 Billion on enforcement, but it could also tax the sale and generate revenue.

The profits from selling it could be made by Americans, not the Drug Cartels.

I just can't see the logical reason for it to be illegal.

Disclosure: I don't partake myself, although I did in the eighties.

Well done.

The only reason it is illegal right now is because of inertia. People stuck in a fixed mindset.

Meanwhile, the US is far and away the largest consumer of prescription narcotics.

But that's "okay" because a doctor said that someone "needed it".

Colorado legalized it but they still haven't really turned the corner.

I have a friend in Washington who says that they're a lor further ahead in this area.

I dunno either way. It's stupid. You mention the enforcement costs but the costs that extend beyond that are likely not even possible to account for. It's a ridiculous waste of real money and of money that could be earned by keeping it illegal.

It'll change someday and everyone will look back and wonder what took so long.

But, until that day it's still illegal and agree with or not you either follow the laws or risk the consequences.

I went and saw Dave Attell last night and he was laughing at how people arrested for weed are handcuffed.

"What are they afraid of? Watch out everyone this guy was smoking weed. He's probably got a long story with no ending he's gonna start telling us. Better handcuff him".
