Legitimate question, from a medical standpoint is there a defined threshold to test for "under the influence" of marijuana vs simply finding trace of its use?

I still stand by my "find another job" statement if pot is that important to your life. I doubt many heavy smokers work for companies that have a tobacco free campus. I also, btw, support legalization because I think we waste a huge amount of law enforcement resources on pot enforcement, and that we could tax the hell out of it like liquor and tobacco.

Video games have probably created more slacker 20-30 year olds that still live at home.

FWIW I smoked in my 20's and held a job, and I have no desire to pick up the habit again.

Also FWIW I have several friends that work their azz off eight hours a day five days a week and regularly come home, crack open a beer, and fire up a doobie.

My son invested in half a dozen mj related stocks. One of them was up over 140% in the last 2 quarters. Now he tells me.

Seems like a corrupt business...I wouldn't admit it either. Profiting from the addiction and misery of others. One would think that it is not a good idea to be on record as involved in a Federal crime just because the previous corrupt Justice Department did not enforce it.

So no alcohol, casino or tobacco in your portfolio? All create quite a bit of misery for far more people than pot.

Lol...what an idiot. I see a bunch of happy folks when stoned. You clearly know nothing, not one effin iota about drugs or drug use other than the biased junk you read.

There were a lot of fortunes made from distilling alcohol before, during, and after Prohibition.

I don't really care what drugs or activities others use, do, or abuse as long as it only affects themselves, does not negatively affect others, and I don't have to pay for it or any negative effects from it.

Obviously you know absolutely nothing about pot and believe everything the Feds said in the 50s. Do you have hairy palms from masturbating?

I do not take credit for this, but heard someone say once, "Put 5 people in a room and give them alcohol, and they start a fight, put 5 people in a room and give them pot, and they start a band"

that must be big corporations?
now the Ca property tax for pot farms is one million dollars a year.
This favors big corporations that prefer larger farms.

Also new a 30% tax on pot retail sales.

soon Costco will sell "indoor gardening" kits.

xbox should probably change its logo to a pot leaf. such is the connection at least in this area. we are a tourist based economy and in the off season hourly workers collect unemployment, get high and play Madden. a few save a some bux and head to costa rica for the winter. some pretend to be wealthy skier types and head to the mountains. 90%+ just sit in their apt living room and toke/play. wading around in a cesspool of petty crime, broken relationships and underachieving loserly conduct.

Lots of happy fools turn their lives (and those around them) to crap. I read the longest and most comprehensive studies (recently released) on the topic which state exactly what I post. Apparently you have not...or were stoned when you did.

Maybe you should actually read a book or two.

One, GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH) specializes in removing THC and making medicine for treating many things, including epilepsy in kids. It has been proven to reduce seizures by huge magnitudes to almost zero in some kids. What does that have to do with misery of others? Seems like in a positive way, wouldn't you say? :rolleyes:

Oh, and its up 1442% in the last 5 years. Wish I'd bought a bunch rather than just dipping a toe in.

We are discussing recreational marijuana here...I believe. Try again.

I smoked almost daily in college and....
Crap, forgot where I was going with this....
