Re: Smoke Weed ? - NO GUNS FOR YOU
Yes, but beer and other alcoholic beverages are not Schedule 1 drugs.
I'm not a fan of any 'drug' use (except caffeine ), but I DO think that marijuana should NOT be classified as Schedule 1.
Treat it like alcohol...no guns while impaired.

One glass of wine you would not be impaired unless you are a real light weight.Imcrazy wrote:I concur but, with the caveat that if I have a glass of wine with dinner, I'm not putting my guns away...MyWifeSaidYes wrote:Yes, but beer and other alcoholic beverages are not Schedule 1 drugs.

Re: Smoke Weed ? - NO GUNS FOR YOU
Of course, since part of the point of marijuana is to "get high", and thus be impaired, presumably one should put the guns away when taking part.steves 50de wrote:One glass of wine you would not be impaired unless you are a real light weight.Imcrazy wrote:I concur but, with the caveat that if I have a glass of wine with dinner, I'm not putting my guns away...MyWifeSaidYes wrote:Yes, but beer and other alcoholic beverages are not Schedule 1 drugs.

On a related note: have they come up with a standard for impairment for pot? The equivalent of a breathalyzer or other roadside test that can gauge how much is in your system and whether that constitutes impairment?

Re: Smoke Weed ? - NO GUNS FOR YOU
Frankly, I'd rather they didn't come up with some presumptive measurement. I'd prefer that law enforcement and prosecutors bear the burden of demonstrating the indicia of impairment rather than simply showing some arbitrary (and non-refutable) number. However, I have no doubt that one will someday/somehow be developed (by which I mean, arbitrarily generated out of thin air and unencumbered by substantive science).JustaShooter wrote:On a related note: have they come up with a standard for impairment for pot?

Nevertheless, unlike alcohol, THC remains in the system far longer than its intoxicating effects last. As such, to my understanding, there is presently no accurate way to measure the subjective impact of THC on a user relative to the level present in the body. Moreover, the relative effects on an individual user can vary far more than found alcohol.
As a side note, the NHTSA conducted a study in 2015 which found "no significant increased crash risk attributable to cannabis after controlling for drivers’ age, gender, race, and presence of alcohol." DOT HS 812 117
To allay any confusion on the topic - I personally do not smoke marijuana (or use any other illicit drug) and never have. However, I frankly don't care if someone else chooses to and don't believe that choice should supersede constitutional rights.

Re: Smoke Weed ? - NO GUNS FOR YOU
Well, so much for that. I've never had a client with that as an issue, so I was apparently unaware.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:Too late:sodbuster95 wrote:Frankly, I'd rather they didn't come up with some presumptive measurement...JustaShooter wrote:On a related note: have they come up with a standard for impairment for pot?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2722956/ While NORML and pro marijuana groups claim this, the facts say different. It impairs in different ways than alcohol but it impairs. As to accidents, about a year ago a school bus in Perry Township was sitting in the turn lane waiting to make a left turn when a marijuana impaired driver exercised poor lane control and slammed into the bus without touching the brakes. Reaction time is increased. Basically THC impairment results in slower driving and poor lane control. Often others are forced to choose between risky passing of a very slow, inconsistent driver and being late as well as lane violation accidents.robbo wrote:I agree ...

Treat it like alcohol...no guns while impaired.
It is no where near what other sched 1 drugs do to the mind.... heroin, lsd, mushrooms
It also appears to multiply the effects of alcohol on driving impairment, meaning a drunks who are also high are much more dangerous but only alcohol gets the blame.
It is pretty well established that marijuana use in teenage years lowers IQ as well. Other symptoms such as paranoia with chronic use cause many of the problems you claim to have never heard of even though they may not be high at the time. Ask any cop about stoners and various domestic calls. I worked at a teen rehab facility and mentor adult alcoholics and addicts...saying the marijuana use is not that bad is really sticking your head in the sand and enabling addicts.

Gun control is racist.

I've known lots of people who are quite the "nuisance" when under the influence of pot.

Re: Smoke Weed ? - NO GUNS FOR YOU
Had a guy that was almost literally stoned out of his mind on pot decide I was a narc and tried to kick my butt. Couple of his friends had to haul him away. I've also seen several other instances of people who got aggressive when stoned. That said, I agree that it isn't any worse than alcohol, and should be treated the same and should not be Schedule 1.concreteguy wrote:robbo wrote:I agree ...
