Too expensive, does next to nothing for me.
Rather have a nice glass of Argentinian Malbec.

I may be wrong because I think it is not about you.
I smoke nothing. I will certainly not go to was weed bar or a hooka. That has nothing to do with why I approve of weed legalization. I approve all drug legalization. Take the profit motive out of illegal drugs and they will diminish.

Many recreational drugs are probably too dangerous to simply legalize, but I could see a system like this:

You may legally use the recreational drug of your choice (marijuana isn't included here) by getting an "Abuser license." You have to state and it is on the license which drugs you want to use / abuse. You go to a licensed dealer who buys from a licensed manufacturer (made to what one might call "veterinary grade" standards which is much higher than what's out there now and done that way to keep the cost down) and buy the drugs you are licensed to abuse in safe (you won't OD) quantities for self use.

The abuser license is public information and can be used by an employer to deny you employment. It can be used by insurance companies to deny you coverage for anything related to drug use including all medical costs so related.

If you are caught using any of these drugs without an abuse license that is current, you are subject to arrest, fines, and imprisonment for decades and thousands upon thousands of dollars. That is, the first time you get caught outside the system is going to pretty much be your last time. So, get in the system.

This allows those that want to do drugs to do them. Society knows who the drug abusers are and there is going to be a stigma attached to that. That would severely cut down on the social and edginess of drug use while allowing those that choose to use the freedom to shoot up, snort, drop, or whatever the drugs of their choice.

These politicians are even more stupid than I thought. Don't they realize that once people get turned on they're never, ever, going to listen to them again ?

There is a strong motivation to keep people doped up as America fails, it generally keeps people more docile. Now that does not work on me, I smoke everyday and am the opposite of a Cuck for the Regime, but I am unusual.

Well, think about this. THC stays in the bloodstream for up to 30 days. You have a commercial pilot, driver, etc., that has used marijuana and has some level of THC in their bloodstream. They get into an accident. Let's say it's an airliner and 100 people are killed or very seriously injured. That's a accident lawyer's dream case. Pilot was higher than a kite (doesn't matter what the THC level was that's what the lawyers suing will claim) and caused the accident making the carrier libel for millions.

Unlike alcohol where it is pretty quickly passed out of one's system, THC from marijuana use isn't. So, the pilot smokes a joint on Friday and his next flight is on Monday. Sure, he's 99%+ sober and the THC isn't an issue, but the plane crashes and they find it in his blood stream (dead or alive). That airline is done, finished. They're forking over millions and any rational person knows it.

I have a son that is on a 'cush', big money/do little, Job in Washington DC. It's for the Metro so everyone is Drug Tested. Even though this is a highly sought after position, they can't find Locals (DC is a 'Legal weed' city) to fill the slots. They have to get 'Out-of-Staters' to fill the Positions. The Locals fail the Drug Tests. So, *somebody* is going to be flying Planes, it just won't be the Dope Smokers.

The disastrously run DC Metro paying big for a mostly sham job comes as no shock at all.

From yesterday:

‘Extreme disappointment’ — Metro revises plan to bring back 7000 Series cars; Silver Line delayed

Metro now says the 7000 Series rail cars that have been sidelined since a derailment last fall are not expected to return to service until this summer at the earliest, under a plan laid out by Metro General Manager and CEO Paul Wiedefeld Thursday.

Wiedefeld laid out the proposed timeline during a Metro Board of Directors meeting Thursday, but cautioned there is no short-term fix for the beleaguered 7000 series rail cars, which make up more than half of Metro’s fleet, and that the transit agency’s proposed timeline requires approval from the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission.

Metro has not yet submitted the plan to the safety watchdog.

In the near term, Metro plans to use older 6000 Series rail cars — which were also pulled out of service a year before the derailment after two earlier incidents where rail cars came uncoupled.

This sort of disastrous performance has been going on for years, nothing is ever done about it, because the leadership is rotten.
