California Governor Signs mar1juana Decriminalization Bill

If somebody is too stoned/drunk to drive and crashes into someone else, then you punish the stoner/drunkard for crashing not for being stoned/drunk. Who cares why the person crashed (unless the reason excuses them)?

 

That's not the point, if a police officer sees a person swerving violently through 3 lanes of traffic and they're not drunk but stoned, how do you legally define them as unfit to drive? They need to be charged with a DUI just like a drunk would be. The question is how to quantify what is equivalent to blood alcohol levels.

I mean I can't comment on the matter because I've never smoked weed, but surely after 1 blunt you aren't an unfit driver, but if you're baked as hell you shouldn't be driving, no? Where's the defining line is what I want to know.

 

This is a crime even if you are not under the influence of any drug. It is called reckless driving.

 

indeed, but the punishments for being under an influence are more severe.

 

If you are baked as hell, you don't *want* to drive.

tallanova or whatever your name is, if you need to know G-Rowdy's drug war views, check his older posts, he has wrote pages adn pages on the subject over the years...It aint terribly difficult to find.

 

but what if you're out of munchies?

 

1. The second I sit into my car under the influence , then yes, I have to be held accountable for my actions and prosecuted accordingly. At this point, others are affected.

2. People are busted under the influence of all kinds of substances all the time, to answer your question. Behavior is documented and blood/urine tests are performed. I saw this many times working the ER during my clinical rotations.

 

As long as my surgeon is not taking a few puffs out back with the tobacco
crowd before I go under the knife.

Domino's, dude....

 

In the sense of drugs, perhaps. Though I don't totally agree with that as an absolute, depending on its usage, severity, and perverseness . I can cut off my right leg cuz its my body my rules. Buts thats not anything others should consider personal liberty. All it takes is a couple really convincing people that believes they're doing something for the betterment of humanity to start advocating it onto others.

LOL I'll say this and most will agree with me. When you drink alcohol and drive you become more daring which leads to taking risks or not paying attention. When I smoke a spliff, I'm constantly at attention and being extra cautious. The only reason weed has been illegal is because of public perception and the money the government wasnt making off it. Now they can collect their 100 dollar fines and not spend the money on prosecuting people who don's deserve to be. I'm moving to Colorado in about 5 years. California sucks.

 

Lets ask Portugal how decriminalizing drugs went for them...

 

NEWSFLASH: You're high. You think you're paying attention.

 

Whoever is asking for hardcore drugs to be decriminalized either shouldn't be entitled to decide because they are users or someone who has never used who is comparing it to weed (which it totally harsh and not tubular). Weed is way safer in doses than alcohol and cigarettes any day. Weed decrimnalized. Drugs illegalized. Drugs are bad mmmkay?

 

BREAKING NEWS: Some people can handle pot better than others and aren't complete noobs like you.

 

Weed is a strange thing.
Do you treat it like Alcohol . .. or like smoking?

Well . . I guess it will be somewhere in the middle
cause you won't be allowed to smoke weed in the klub

QUESTION: Does this mean that someone can walk down the street smoking his 1 ounce of weed?
