Reading through this thread I spotted this. Anybody remember Atari? Dominated the video game business, untouchable, money cow...disappeared. Saw a history channel show on this company...they were smoking pot and writing programs and literally the company just fell apart amid paranoia and lack of meeting deadlines.mrbone wrote:Marijuana isn't something to worry about. There was once a CEO who transformed a small insurance company into a wildly successful Fortune 500 icon while smoking weed. I think those potheads who have problems would have the same problems even if sober.
Back to the original topic though, I see the statute on drinking in bars, but I thought it was illegal to have any alcohol and be in possession of a firearm.
As for impairment from anything, I remember an incident from the early 90s. I was driving to Canton from Ft Bragg NC on a four day pass earned from volunteering for an exercise. When I got back from the exercise I packed the car and left. I was coming up 77N in Stark County and woke up on the shoulder. I jerked the wheel and long story short flipped into the grass/3 feet of snow. Miraculously uninjured, a lady that saw me go off gave me a ride to a pay phone. Eventually a State Trooper had me in the back of his car at the scene. He asked me what happened. I said no sense in lying, I fell asleep. This was after the Persian Gulf war and I was obviously military. I told him I was on a pass after an exercise and was just tired. He asked if I missed the deer. I asked what deer. He wrote that I swerved to avoid a deer on the report. My 1st Sergeant (I was his clerk) explained to me the favor he did me, fatigue is a DUI and I had confessed to it. Any time you are impaired in any way, you are at the mercy of the officer on the scene. You can fight it later in court and from experience let me tell you the truth and right doesn't count for much in our legal system.
