If they can't come up with a test to prove that someone is intoxicated by marijuana, doesn't that mean that we don't exhibit any eminent signs of intoxication? So why is it a problem? I can drive a hell of a lot better if I'm stoned.

I was just about to say something like that Markass. I dont have the statistics to show cause they don't exist yet, but I would be willing to bet that if weed were legalized there would be very few motor vehicle accidents related to it, just because so many people smoke already and is there any way to attribute wrecks to marijuana now? no.
Drug Charges USED to be just as high as Murder Charges. Not any more. Even the highest proponents for it remaining illegal think that is irrational.
just wanted to momentarily chime in here....
i think it is definately directly correlated with the united states and their "anti drug" war/propoganda...according to them, weed funds all terrorism, no?! lol...
i would love to see it decriminalized here, but it is so hard with so many white house lackies we have in canadas government, ie harper....we are slowly begining to go our own way here in canada and drift away from the US and their policies, thanks to bush and his politics, so maybe one day, we will be able to distance ourselves enough to make a stand...until then, we are stuck in the white house....my regards mr harper....
princess, an american that escaped bush to the safety of canada....long live the cannucks and tragically hip!!
I've been told some of the local cops here in northern California, carry a small flashlight-type thingie, somehow it measures the amount of pupil dilation on a motorist, then they can charge you with driving under the influence of drugs - I haven't seen it myself, but have been assured it's in use

Drug regulation is under federal jurisdiction. So cannabis is illegal everywhere in the US under federal law. It can be decriminalized under state law, but that doesnâ??t mean much.Quote:

What we want is legalization.
I was just showing him that he was wrong either way. The federal gov. never gets involved anyway with the under an ounce stuff...so yes it does mean much lol...there are 12 states that have decriminalized under an ounce of marijuana...it's a fact. Wtf are you saying? It's definitely better for society...I don't think you even know what you are talking about lol.
