Smoking up on duty is no worse than drinking on duty, and neither should be tolerated.

How about then they start toking up with babies in the house. All the little kiddies running around with contact buzzes! That will be cool!

was not question that, what I was saying was how about the contact high! I knew a guy who knew another guy that would talk about the contact high his pets would get. Well I guess it no worse then putting a nip of whiskey in their milk to get them to bed ;D

Never had a contact high, even being in the same car with it, or concerts where it was rampant.
I think it is a myth, but I have no hard evidence to support my position.

I never said they smoked on duty... I just said that I know a lot of highly successful people who smoke pot...
but if you want to get into the nitty gritty while you are turning in the pot smokers to the authorities might as well turn in all those on pain meds and mood enhancers as well they maybe legal but they impair your judgement just as much if not more...
Those that are against it .... my guess is that you buy into the exagerated falsified propaganda that circulates without really truly checking it out yourself.
Just because it may or may not be for you....doesn't necissarily make it wrong.... and with all the states starting to legalize it.... well... you have to wonder....

That's all I have to say about it. When and if its legalized I will say something different.

That is inherently more dangerous than smoking pot in the privacy of your own home.

Look if you want to smoke dope that's fine with me. I could care less what you do behind closed doors. What don't you understand about illegal. You can't pick and choose you favorite laws to break.
When you get your dope were do you get it from? I would have to say that when you go buy your dope that you have to be real careful were and who you buy it from! Why because you don't want to get arrested for doing something illegal. I'll bet your dealer is a stand up guy/woman who has a great track record in the community.
Also look outside your smoke infested brain and see how many people are hurt and killed by the passive transportation of the dope! Right know some friendly illegal is being made to backpack your dope across the border with a good chance that they will be beat and killed if they don't comply. Smoke away! Enjoy. It is not a victimless crime.

I just have a problem with busy bodies that want to "turn people in" when it's really none of their business.

I do not think they should legalize crystal meth or heroine but I find it funny that it use to be illegal to drink and now I can drink legally and get as messed up as someone who smokes. I have only smoked a few times 20 or so years ago and did not like it or putting smoke in my lungs but then again I did not inhale just like Slick Willie ;D

Looks like Maryland is going with 10 ounces or less will not be a crime. How long does 10 ounces last. Is that like a case of beer for the average drinker?

No, not 10 oz. The bill is about decriminalizing 10 grams, which is about 1/3rd of an ounce. Here is the senate bill mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013RS/bills/sb/sb0297f.pdfThe bill basically changes a 90 day jail term to a $100 fine. After some googling, I learned that 1 oz can cost between $100-250 depending on quality, and that you can make around 30 joints out of it. And for reference, I found a picture of what a one ounce bag looks like. Sounds like an expensive habit. I'll stick to home brew.

Whoops. Big difference between 10oz and 10 grams. I guess a case of bud light at $20 is not looking so bad. Budweiser should do a commercial comparing the costs between the two. People would be shocked by how much a bargain $20 is relative to $150 for pot.

Yeah, haha. That is what made me look it up.
I was thinking "10oz, Jesus! How is that not PWID?"

Wow, how times have changed.
Back in the early 70's an ounce went for around $15-$20, a 1/4lb was around $45, an a lb was $150-$175. I knew a lot of people who had/used it.
Never could understand why doctors can't prescribe the stuff, I mean with all the other harder drugs they are trusted with, seems a little silly to say you can't use this one for your patients...

It is my business when some dope head endangers my family or me! Smoke away. Driving drunk is illegal too...yet far more do that and endanger everyone than the pot smokers..... Back in my younger years when I was a truly wild child...I smoked a lot of pot....my friends and I we never went out looking for trouble, usually stayed near the house or at the lake...and if we did drive somewhere it usually took us a long time to get there cause we were never in a hurry... Just saying.... There is a lot of wrong information and misconception as to exactly what are the effects of pot smoking.... Most of my experience, it just takes the edge off of being stressed....but I was quite capable of maintaining a 4.0 grade average, full time job, and paid all my bills....and I was pulled over a lot by the cops back then and not once did they ever suspect that I was stoned! (I was cop magnate back then... I think I was a victim of profiling back then....young, cute, expensive car....LOL!! at least thats my story and I am sticking to it...bawahahaha)!! I appreciate everyone's opinions as to your own personal beliefs based on your own experience...but if your making assumptions with out any real evidence, well...do more research... But then again, for every article you produce about the ill effects of pot smoking Ill be able to counter act it with the benefits!! As with any issue...there are always pros and cons...

I haven't thought much about pot use in a long time. So I was doing the math here...a baggie of weed at $150, that you can get 30 joints out of, works at to $5 a joint. A casual user burning one down at home with your spouse or a friend every now and then, at $5 is a deal. Even at 1 joint a week (do you really need more then that?) would last 30 weeks...don't have a problem with that.
With ever dwindling resources for enforcement...legalize it, regulate it, tax it and concentrate on the bigger things.

Don't ever let the Gov't regulate it. Then only the people in Congress will get the "GOOD" stuff! ;D
