Do we all agree pot should be legal?

I don't even have to know what your question is to answer NO if you are going to start a question on this board with 'Do We All Agree'.
 
Harry J. Anslinger spread a campaign of lies to the public to pass his legislation's that in turn lined his pockets with money and made him very powerful.

Used fear and deception to convince common sheeple of its danger and force politicians into agreeing to his legislation.

On my top 10 list of the most evil person in American history.
 
Okay, am I right, so far we have one conservative saying it should remain illegal...

Anyone else?
 
southernman is the only college educated person I know against legalization. But he's against husband's getting blow jobs from their own wive's. So let me call that fringe.
 
So long as driving while under the influence is restricted, as it is with alcohol. The biggest problem there is that the metabolites of THC can remain in the body for up to 30 days. There has to be an on-the-spot, reliable test to determine levels of active THC, and appropriate behavioral tests to determine judgment and physical competence.

That aside, I'm in favor of decriminalizing pot.
 
Its the only wise move.

See you guys I got to go and will be gone for about a week.

Love that beach house.

They're illegal already. Prescription pain killers have restrictions on them in most states that make it illegal to operate machinery (includes cars) when taking them. I worked a wreck two years ago where the guy was under the influence of perscription drugs, legally administered, and he was cited and convicted of such.

My point is that MJ, if legalized, needs to be treated just like alcohol. People who use and drive under it's influence need to be punished. But it needs to be fair. The fact that THC stays in the system long after the effect is gone makes a "test" for influence very difficult.

Coke's illegal. Right now a positive test during an accident would lead to charges no matter how long it has been in the system.

We have enough inhibited drivers on the roads who kill many more people than Topper's dreaded guns do each year. With the legalization of MJ you will have that many more inhibited drivers as well. There needs to be a way to fairly test whether someone is under the influence, not just if it is in their system.
