  2. No. It is a very good idea since small time pot users aren't criminal.

  1. The gov 't just spent 20 years telling people not to smoke (tobacco) and now they want to make smoking pot legal.

    Which is it, smoking is okay or smoking is not okay.

    What is 2nd hand pot smoke. Or 3rd hand pot smoke.

    Where are designated pot smoking areas.

    ------------------

    Their are no standards for driving under the influence of pot. They (tptb) can't determine a level.

    How are you going to pass a drug test for work if you have a medical note. What's the point of a drug test.

  2. Actually though, I think the police are in favor of tickets.

  3. The only reason tobacco companies still exist is to pay for socialized healthcare through taxation.

    fascism hard at work.

    The resistance will come from for-profit jails.

  5. Just because something is a bad idea doesn't justify putting people in jail for it. If employers want to mandate no pot use, I suppose they could still do it, although it strikes me as extreme to monitor employees off-hours behavior.

  6. 1) nanny stater's cannot handle that concept.

    2) That's the norm from my experience.

  7. There is a certain irony in lberals wanting to ban Big Gulps and tobacco use but legalize pot.

    They're very selective in their targets.

    Should a person get a ticket for being in possession of a bottle of liquor?
