    I am confused. When I was in school, a third of the faculty smoked. I was surrounded by hundreds of cigarettes all day every day at school.

    What do they think is going to happen? The kids will get high by osmosis?

    They’ll do something once someone builds an AR15 that shoots marijuana joints into people’s mouth. Imagine 20 joint extended magazines.

        Guns aren’t too concerning by themselves, but I think we all know a few teachers from our school years that should never, ever own one.

          Yup we had one go nuts and dump out all our cubbies in 6th grade, because too many of us forgot to bring out work and she was convinced we hadn’t done it and left it in our bags.

          She retired at the end of that year.

          I had another in HS that threw a hammer at a kid (it was a vocational class), that annoyingly put me off a career in the trades. I wish now that I’d stuck with it. I much prefer working with my hands over temporarily organizing pixels.

        That all depends on how your body processes THC. For some people I know, two puffs is plenty. For others (Me, for example), two puffs ain’t gonna do shit.

    People can already bring 20 joints into a school if they want to. Has Ron looked at other states that have legalized it and observed schools bursting at the seems with pot?

      The Florida government loves nothing more than a bunch of kids to get gunned down in a school shooting, as it means they can route that more money to police and less money to students.

      I’m okay with banning anything to ban guns. Or, at least threatening it.

      Maybe someone should try to pass a law with a ban on all contraceptives, abortion pills, and rainbow flags…… with a gun ban tacked onto it. See how much they really care.

    I remember the FUD that was spread when Colorado and Washington State legalized. None of it happened. A local TV News crew created an exercise where they would make different levels of cannabis user drive a course while traffic cops would evaluate their abilities to operate a motor vehicle.

    Every driver considered themselves to stoned to drive safely even though the cops said they didn’t drive like it. The Stoner girl said she was way to high to drive and wouldn’t even try in real life but she passed the tests.

    And the smell thing… Pioneer Square in Seattle has a smell to it, if it hasn’t rained in a while. Lots of pissing in the alley type behavior. I worked for a hospital that ran a clinic there. Usually the area stinks.

    A long comes accessable cannabis for all. IDK if you don’t like the smell of pot smoking.

    It’s by far better than the smell of piss.

      We also have a drinking culture where doing it alone at home is considered taboo. You’re supposed to go out to a bar and do it, and then get home somehow.

      Cannabis use doesn’t have that culture, not even in legalized states.

        Idk about that. There weren’t cannibas bars because cannibas wasn’t legal. But the idea of going over to a friend’s house or on a date where you both smoke weed together is hardly new.

      Of course is legal to be drunk at your job as long as it doesn’t involve operation of dangerous machinery like automobiles or otherwise put someone in imminent danger.

      Whether or not it will get you fired is a completely different thing.

    Reminds me of the fear mongering a conservative family member was spouting when my state legalized weed. She was going on and on about how car accidents were going to “skyrocket” because everyone would be driving high. We’ve been legalized for about four years now, the first time I heard about any high driving incident was a couple of weeks ago when two people died. Now, obviously the number of high drivers is probably more than that, and any kind of intoxicated driving is irresponsible, but that’s the first time I heard a case make the news, meanwhile NHTSA says an average of 37 people die due to drunk driving per day.

      Alcohol is pretty unique as a drug in causing car accidents. Most other drugs will either relax/sedate you enough so you don’t want to go out (opiates, ketamine), make you anxious enough so you won’t want to drive (cannabis, hallucinogens), or stimulate you enough so that if you do drive you probably won’t be that bad (coke, meth). Only alcohol will keep you up enough to socialize, confident enough to drive, and impaired enough to crash. Even if you were to legalize all drugs alcohol would still probably be the largest cause by far for impaired driving accidents.

    well you can’t stop people from bringing joints by making it illegal; that way only the bad guys would bring joints. instead everyone should bring joints to school because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a joint is a good guy with a joint.
