Merc, I'm sure if you are doing a half dozen jello shots, you are responsible and don't drive your car, but realistically can you honestly say that you are the norm or the exception?


guess your just going to have to trust this slave, and perhaps some others can back her up...but Master has never been "the norm" about anything! as a matter of fact...the "norm" is a hard limit for him...and He does not drive whilst impaired, by sleep deprivation, alcohol, prescription drugs or anything else.

as an aside, this slave hears through the grapevine that the Great Garden State has postponed implementing the Medicinal Marijuana legislation that NJ has already seen fit to pass, becuase they are working out the fine details...like deciding if they will have Rutgers University grow it all and then distribute it through their hospital program.

I am a big proponent of medical marijuana. This nurse has been known to politely suggest that a doctor prescribe Marinol (synthetic THC in pill form) for patients with intractable nausea and loss of appetite. Wonderful medication, but it would be even better if we could just let them smoke a fat one or eat it in a brownie.


Smoking is a much easier form of intake for nausea medication than a pill in my opinion (or a brownie) and a vaporizer removes the damage of inhaling actual smoke.

I still think DWI laws should apply if it impairs the driver


I didn't note anyone sanctioning, or advocating for, the use of marijuana while driving a plane, train or automobile, but I'm glad you had to use this example of exception - it points to the hypocrisy of those citing such an occurrence as a reason for keeping it criminal. Eliminate Aspirin, Tylenol, and nicotine, and every other drug listed physically impairs its user. One has statistics tracked by the government Over 15,000 die every year from alcohol related fatalities. Those aren't exceptional occurrences as is your 1987 reference. In 1987 24,094 or 52% of all traffic fatalities were directly attributed to alcohol.

the rare drug interaction doesn't occur.
VERY rare.
From your link there is only one drug that has a "major interaction" Levomethadyl acetate. Levomethadyl acetate has a major (potentially deadly) drug interaction with 406 drugs and a moderate bad interaction with 320. Having one case of "major", and 12 "moderate"; Marijuana has fewer conflicting and is the only one with only 1 major interaction on the list.

Maybe not totally without interaction issues; however Marijuana, is one of the safest, if not the safest, drug on the list.

Funny, it's the only drug on the list that does not have a negative interaction with alcohol.


I think that being stoned while driving needs to be considered as a possibility.  The reason being that marijuana is a very effective anti-nauseant.  This includes carsickness.  The current prevalent carsickness medication is dimenhydranate, in large quantities this causes visual distortions, up to and including hallucinations, extreme disorientation, and confusion.  The effects are not as pronounced at lower doses, but as few as six pills can produce a fairly profound degree of impaired driving.  Someone taking six pills over the course of a long drive is quite possible.

Some sort of low potency marijuana would be preferable, in my opinion.

If I may be flippant for a moment ........

If they ever say anything about drug testing to me I will respond "Sure, what do you want tested ? " They hand me a cup "Where's the drugs ? I want to see them because I don't do the hard shit".

My buddy fell out of the local with his bona fides as a full mason. I mean he has worked for archeaologists. They had drug testing and they specifically paid a couple of guys to go take the drug tests for everyone else. This is no bullshit.

If my employer were to require me to change my lifestyle like that, he would not be my employer. If we could get some modicum of solidarity we could fight unfair laws and shit like that, but the game is on so we can't. We can't even organize a fucking boycott, although lately there seems to be one going on in this town against BP. About a buck cheaper a gallon and no cars pulled up.

It is starting to look to me like to get anything done for us we need control of the major media. Without that, we are doomed.

Status: offline 		I don't do drugs, actually I am allergic to MJ, experiments in my teenage days were unpleasant...

Having said that, I don't see the big thing about MJ, it has medical benefits, is a great plant very sustainable and doesn't exploit the soil, the fibers make great clothes... Even people who don't use it for medical reasons, hell, for the life of me I can't understand why alcohol is legal but MJ is not, I would say booze is a lot more dangerous and addictive. As a woman, walking home at night and having the choice of 2 roads, one full with drunks and one full with potheads, I'd feel a lot more secure walking through the street with the stoners, they are hardly ever aggressive, not spoiling for a fight, they might hug you and ask you if you got munchies for them, but that's about it.

The people who are always so up in arms about MJ, well nobody forces them to use it but it seems a bit selfindulgent to deny something to others just because you don't like it.

Status: offline 		3) Which one has been used the longest by humans?

Are you sure it was dope and not booze?  I'm thinking of all those squiffy butterflies I see in Somerset after the cider-apple harvest.  Or can it be true that butterflies learned how to get ratarsed before humans did?  Shocking!

(I admit that this possibly wasn't the weightiest of points to make on the general subject of this thread, however.)

Status: offline 		I've seen many go thru chemo and suffer terrible nausea which was relieved by pot. I've known people with chronic pain who swear it's the only thing that helps them shift focus from their pain. It's a wonderdrug. I'm surprised it still hasn't been legalized in most countries since there's a lot of potential govt revenue to be made from it.

I hope you don't ever need to go through chemo, you might find that even more "unpleasant".

As for you rather suffering an early end, that's up to you but how generous of you to deny it to others, must be really nice to be in such a position where you can decide how much others should suffer and if they should be allowed relief...

Sure, so how about the risks of chronic use of pain killers, any form of alcohol, coffee, smoking, certain types of food and how do they compare to cannabis risks?

Anybody who claims that ingesting anything without moderation is perfectly safe needs their heads examined. Crossing the road is not risk free, actually making yourself a cup of tea is not risk free, most accidents happen in houses when people clean, shall we all live in dirt or would that be possibly an even bigger risk? Compare the risks of cannabis to other legal drugs, and they are comparatively minor. You can have a drink, that's not going to harm you, but if you are a chronic drinker, your liver will suffer a hell lot more than a chronic pot smoker.

Personally I have no interest in "recreational" use but I'm always amazed by the hypocrisy that patients in pain can get opiates, who are far more addictive and dangerous, but oh hell no, not the dreaded cannabis... Or that drinking yourself into a stupor is alright, but a person smoking a joint is a criminal.
