Marijuana Decriminalization Bill

[faxman75]

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/...ana/index.html

DEA, White House say marijuana dangerous, has no accepted medical use

Decriminalization advocates say marijuana laws should mirror alcohol laws

NORML spokesman says marijuana user arrested in U.S. "every 38 seconds"

HR 5843 would not affect laws on growing, importing, exporting marijuana

But if like pot was legal man, just anybody could smoke it.
Wheres the fun in that?

[bluemamba]

if it was legal even i would smoke it.

[locachica73]

If they legalized it do you think companies would still be able to screen for it and fire you for using it? Since it stays in your system so long there is no real way of telling when you did it so they wouldn't be able to prove you did it at work or outside of work so how would that work?

[bluemamba]

i think as long as you dont come in to work stoned out of your mind drooling you should be ok

I can't even drive while high much less work and be around my annoying co-workers. It was different working at Arby's high as fuck, but in the corporate world that would be way too much for my mind to handle.

[faxman75]

I will be surprised if this passes. The bill is co-sponsored by two guys who get laughed at on a regular basis.

Barney Frank and Ron Paul

[amyzzz]

We could all email our congressmen and -women to vote for it. Not like that'd help much.

[locachica73]

It's a happy thought at least. I will just have to wait till I retire and be that old granny hanging out on the beach with my pot pipe.

[guest-5666]

be realistic, this wont pass...

[algunz]

Ouch, Barney and Ron are kind of like the nail in a coffin.

[Roadkillhighway951]

D.A.R.E to say NO

[zenidogx]

this could pass, but it just won't pass the senate.

[Roadkillhighway951]

pass it, dont hog it

No shit. Not to mention the safety issues involved. Again, if you're a McDonald's cashier and you're stoned, that's one thing. If you're operating on someone and you're stoned, that's quite another. Personally, I don't want to be in a hospital having a catheter put in by a stoner. Just sayin.

[bluemamba]

hey you changed your avi. great.

[locachica73]

imagine how much happier people would be, I could throw out my prescriptions if I could get high occasionally.

[Roadkillhighway951]

ok let's say they pass this law, who's next crack smokers, everyonbe wants a piece o the pie you dig

[bluemamba]

Just because this thread got started im gonna roll a fat blunt today.

When I was 18 I worked at a plastics factory on the graveyard shift and we use to crawl up the catwalk to the roof, smoke out, then try to get back down. Going up was much easier. That was when I did it regularly though, now when I occasionally do it I can barely find my way to the kitchen to invent munchy foods.

the fryer can be dangerous as hell. seriously.

i didnt read the article yet, but the title of the thread says "decriminalization", not legalization. there is a big difference.

[Roadkillhighway951]

The senate has just advised the committee of MUBM, that if this bill is passed they will join in rolling the bill up with some gov grown and they'll smoke it. they say gov arnold swartsanegro, major villaraigoosa, jessy of the jackson 5, alf sharpton, snoop doug, willy nelson, etc......

which is why it will be really hard to decriminalize marijuana. every other argument aside, they need to find a way to perform on-the-spot testing in order to truly regulate.

and the founder of the company where i work helped to fund the last decriminlization vote we had here in az back in 2002. i love knowing they'll never be a drug test
