I dunno what that dude was doing, when I blaze and drive I usually have to make a concerted effort to not drive like a granny.

I laughed. It's a big no-no for me on city driving... but what in the hell am I supposed to do when I'm on the same damned interstate for more than five hours at a time?

Yes, because your vastly superior intellect is just too much for my feeble mind to comprehend. Or it could be that this is you...

Why wouldn't the comparison work... because it's too lopsided? Yes, legalization is a completely separate issue from safety. However, the arguments for both issues favor marijuana. All I see are 'one in a million' freak accidents from GG and Glen, so that's why I'm asking you about why it shouldn't be, at the absolute least, decriminalized.

Is it a fiscal problem? Is it an ethical problem? Is it a safety problem?

I dont know why the comparison angle has not worked. And I think the glaucoma/medical use will have limited success, but most see this as a bullshaz way to skirt the law. I think the best way to get something legalized is to be honest. The other issues have been out there and are well known. By now almost everyone under 50 has gotten high and intoxicated, so everyone already knows the difference.

Next time you dont have a decent comeback, just say "I know you are, but what am I?". You must be REALLY old, on top of being close minded and uninformed. FYI...that was NOT a compliment.

Lol, is that your pic in the avi? You look like a current version of Macauley Culkin. FYI, that's not a compliment.

Democrats think that if you're a drug addict, you're probably black or have a brain disorder. Or potentially both.

Oregon Poised To Decriminalize Meth, Cocaine And Heroin

The Oregon legislature passed two bills Thursday decriminalizing small amounts of six hard drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and ecstasy.

The first of the two bills now headed to the governor’s desk, HB 2355, decriminalizes possession of the drugs so long as the offender has neither a felony nor more than two prior drug convictions on record, according to the Lund Report. The second, HB 3078, reduces drug-related property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors.

Republican State Sen. Jackie Winters claimed the war on drugs as it currently exists amounts to “institutional racism” due to how more frequently minorities are charged with drug crimes than whites.

“There is empirical evidence that there are certain things that follow race. We don’t like to look at the disparity in our prison system,” Winters said during a hearing. “It is institutional racism. We can pretend it doesn’t exist, but it does.”

The second bill reduces mandatory minimum sentences for many property crimes and also increases the number of previous convictions necessary for a felony charge. It provides $7 million in funding for diversion programs to help lower Oregon’s prison population.

Winters and other supporters of the bills argue the answer to America’s drug crisis is treatment, not prison time.

“It would be like putting them in the state penitentiary for having diabetes,” Democratic Rep. Mitch Greenlick told the Lund Report. “This is a chronic brain disorder and it needs to be treated this way.”

Good move, Oregon. Will be great if taxpayers no longer foot the bill for drug treatment and rehab, drug testing welfare recipients, hospitals are not required to work on ODs, and self defense laws (defending liberty or property from addicts) are bolstered.

You're cool with them not treating smokers for lung cancer, alcoholics for liver cancer, and fat folks for eating their way into diabetes, clogged arteries, and other obesity-induced problems?

I'm sure smarter posters than me will give you a better answer, but here is my take.

1. Alcohol and THC are both depressants, so both have a similar effect. The more you drink, the more alcohol affects you, same with pot.

2. Given that pot is currently unregulated there is little data that could allow a good comparison of like quantities. I would suspect that regulation would come with legalization, either government regulation or commercial quality regs, which in the end would rationalize it to equate with alcohol. Therefore, a joint would probably end up equating to a glass of wine, bottle of beer, shot of whiskey standard (my opinion).

3. I would also predict the smoking laws would apply.

4. The other consideration would be the question of how legalized marijuana would affect healthcare. This debate would be interesting to me as I've heard that since it takes less pot to have the intended affect that it could lower cancer rates, however, it could also follow that people who smoke pot would do so in conjunction with their tobacco use so it would lead to increases in lung cancer, or no significant change.

Actually, THC is not a depressant

In college, I either had to help break up or saw the aftermath of fights involving alcohol on several occasions.

Not one time in college or my adult life have I ever heard of or seen a fight between potheads. Not saying that it doesn't happen, because I am fully aware that it is possible. I'm just speaking from my own life experiences, drunk fights (whether men or women) are no fun.

Yes if the patient doesn't have the ability to pay.

Yeah I'd say the number of guys that hit the bong and then start looking for a fight dramatically pale in comparison to those consuming alcohol.

If all drugs are legalized, businesses can choose not to hire people who fail a drug screening. I worked for multiple companies in Washington State who refuse to hire people who fail a piss test.
