Good Morning brides to be! Hope you all enjoyed your V Day!!
Today's QOTD .....
I am curious, what are your thoughts on the legalization of Marijuana? There is so much controversy on this issue and my FH wants to buy stock in medicinal marijuana, because he thinks it may go through the roof one day soon.....
Thoughts???
Enjoy your day girls!

Re: ~Feb 15th QOTD~
my roomate is a cop and she is sooooo adamently against it becayse there is no way to control it. you cant do a DUI test for pot, and how are you suppose to put a limit on it? like ok you can only have 1 joint, but who is to say what the size of that joint is?
I have never smoked, nor do I have a desire to. I dont think it is the end of the world if people do it, and there are a lot more harmful drugs out there that ARE legal.

You can't test for it, so now little jimmy gets hit by a car because some butt-head who was high, decided he now needed some Doritos...
THAT BEING SAID - I'm cool with medicinal marijuana I've never been high, however I do have MS and I praying i never get tremors so bad I need it, but if a prescription for it can be given for those who are TRULY sick- then i think like vicodine, or morphine.. those in real need shouldn't be denied help for their illness

i'm not a fan of that idea. For medical reasons, I'm fine with that. But I've seen one too many idiots smoking pot and I don't like what it does to people.

Police do actually issue DUIs for driving while impaired by drugs. There must be some method they use to determine it?
I don't have a problem with it as long as you arn't driving and putting other people at risk.
Also, just as I don't think people should be alcoholics, I don't think people should do it everyday, all day.
Unfortunately, you can't regulate someone else as far as their alcohol intake and there is really no way to regulate someone else's marijuana intake.
You would just have to trust people if you legalized it.

I am for it. It would still be illegal to drive when you're high - just like alcohol is legal but you can't drive while you're under the influence.
Imagine the $$$ it would bring in with taxes.

I think it should be legal. You can test for it, a urine tox shows THC. I don't think they can have something like a breathalyzer for it, but don't you need to get a blood test anyway? Let the government regulate it. Alcohol can do a lot more damage yet it's legal. And so is tobacco. I'm not saying it's not at all dangerous, and you'd never make a bad decision while high, but I don't get how other things are legal and this isn't.

Plus, it's less dangerous than alcohol, which is legal. it would just have to be regulated.

I am all for medical marijuana, but I cant decide on it being totally legal for all uses. I feel like it would be taxable, so thats good, and maybe the fact that it wouldn't be illegal would make some people not as excited to do it, but like the pp said, there is no test for it so how to you figure out who is under the influence? it seems like a legal nightmare.

it would be at the cops discretion just like it is now. If he realizes that the person seems 'under the influence' they will serch them and if necessary take them in. It would be exactly like drinking and driving. If you're swerving and seem high they take you in.
If you hit someone or are in an accident then they would test you.
I personally don't care either way. It's legal in other places and seems to work for them. People will be stupid regardless and they will use it whether its legal or not.
ETA: and now that I think about it...legalizing it would put better control on how much people are doing because they would sell packs with a certian weight etc, and control exactly what goes in it just like cigs
