Originally posted by Theresa Did you not read the part where I said that it would have to be monitored? So what... we're going to do a drug test and send it to the lab each time there is a suspicion that the person had been smoking up? That can take weeks to get the results back... what do you suppose they do in the meantime? Krypton, they might be able to come up with something to test how much THC has been ingested, but I still wonder at how effective it would be to measure how impaired someone is. I guess they would have to put a limit on it as they have alcohol. Wouldn't it be wiser to wait until such a device is created?

It doesn't take weeks to get back - minutes maybe. And that's what zero tolerance policies were created for within certain occupations.

Originally posted by Theresa My "wild and stupid" claims are my opinions. Obviously I don't know if that is how it will pan out, but that is what I suspect.

This is all fine and well, however opinions that don't really have much factual basis probably shouldn't be what we use to create legislature.

Originally posted by Theresa Funny you should say that. Do you think I have never smoked pot before? I know exactly what I meant by that because I have smoked some weed that had me on my ass tripping right out. Some people don't have as a high a tolerance to the shit as others... and that could be considered a very hard thing to measure, and a hard thing to monitor when it comes to situations in which it should not be used.

Some people have immense tolerances for booze, yet we still don't tolerate them flying planes or driving automobiles.

And the very fact that you were "tripping your ass off" says you aren't all that familiar with marijuana.

Originally posted by Theresa As for the comment about Holland... I have never personally been there, so I don't really know how their society runs, and how productive they are as people. However, I do know that they are incredibly liberal, and that they accept a much different and relaxed lifestyle than what we do in the Western world.

Less than 10% of the Dutch population actually smokes and the Netherlands is a Western country in the Western world.

And the only thing they're relaxed about is tolerance for people to treat their own bodies as they please so long as they aren't harming anyone else.

The comment about "their productivity as a people" just reeks of ignorance.

quote:

Originally posted by Theresa Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea if there were more efficient ways of monitoring the effects, and when people are under the influence. Right now though, from my experiences, and from what I have seen, I don't think it would be beneficial in the grand scheme of things.

Your experience is meaningless if for no other reason than how clearly limited it is. We have efficient ways of monitoring the effects, and people who are just generally under the influence of marijuana are hardly the "unpredictable druggies" you make them out to be.

You really opened your mouth without knowing at all what you are talking about in here, Theresa.

the truck drivers that drive between USA and Canada have to go for drug test in which they also do a urine sample.....and I have myself told many people that they have failed the test and cannot get a job for what they have applied for.......One dood in paticular was actually drinking cranberry juice or was it something else all day so that he could pass the test but he failed anyways LOL

Originally posted by Theresa Not to mention that weed isn't as "clean" as it once was. Weed can really fuck you up these days... and not in a good way.

My goodness, I also just read through the entire post that this is quoted from and have to say that I really can't believe all of the nonsense you've spouted off here.

You really haven't the foggiest - and weed today is absolutely no different than it was 50 or 100 years ago. This whole fiction that marijuana is somehow unbelievably more potent than it was just a few years ago was nothing more than a product of the Reagan administration twisting facts to fit their war on drugs.

I've tried my best to refrain from insulting you or your intelligence, but you make it very difficult when you sound like you're a soldier in the U.S. war on drugs.

Drug noobs are almost as bad as drug addicts themselves at spouting BS about the crap they smoke/inject/sniff/swallow.

If Whitney Houston came on TA and tried to tell us that coke was cool we'd be like "lol, stfu cracka, amirite?".

Same thing applies to this Theresa person, clearly you've smoked maybe 1 joint and puked cause you're a pussy and now you've made a point of exaggerating the effects of weed and have painted it with the same brush as much harder drugs like coke and E. Yes, Coke and E aren't as pure nowadays, but how the fuck could weed have possibly changed?

The shit that gets "imported" en mass into the US through British Columbia is probably the "cleanest" of the clean, given the guy that controls the vast majority of the "BC Bud" export is just a weed nut himself and wants everyone to smoke all the time. (For his profit yes and because he just plain loves the stuff he grows).

Originally posted by ******** Untrue marijuana cultivated these days in general is way more potent then it was 50 years ago. What do you think breeding programs would do, same with any cultivated plant or animal, the strains get stronger with better seeds. This is my impression anyway - of course there arn't that many people around to vouche for that fact.

So what you're saying is that no one understood how to cultivate marijuana prior to now, so therefore it was all much shittier quality than it is now?



Give me a fucking break. It's not my problem that the U.S. government, and apparently most people in the U.S., haven't been able to find good weed for decades - that certainly doesn't mean that it hasn't existed.
