Weed legalised in 2 USA states

Where exactly then do you "draw the line" at impairment? What if someone is sick, maybe with a cold or flu. How would you treat that?

Straws being clutched at I feel...

Funnily enough, that's exactly what was behind the last time I fell off a motorbike.

(Real groggy with a head cold, coming to work early in the dark and fog, gravel road, forgot we had a barrier across half of it and was riding on the incorrect side, barrier loomed out of the mist, locked the front up and went plop. Spent the next six months riding around with no rear brake lever, cos, meh, y'know?)

Not to mention lack of sleep.

A bit like this thread.

Sorry if I'm a bit late to this point but Mexico has made an interesting point about these two states legalising it. How do they now police the trafficking of the drug to the USA as it is now legal in two states. Legalisating by stealth?

UK has softened cannabis laws these last weeks too.
Many are saying that Colorado and Washington going legal, is the beginning of the end for cannabis prohibition.

A birdie told me Labour will win the next election and during their next term NZ cannabis laws will change.

Law Commission findings anyone??

Drugz r bad mkay. That's why in Portugal drug related crimes have dropped in the 11 years since they decriminalised E-V-E-R-Y DRUG. Perhaps the naysayers will fuck off now that there is evidence that society will not collapse. That is not a personal opinion, just in case the jumped up anti-drug morons missed it... you're welcome. Drugs have always been there. It is the common sense approach towards them that has been missing... and just to appease the anti-drug morons, yes the common sense approach includes those who are using them. Now shut the fuck up and look outta the window.

They cant help being who they are, just as I cant be who I always wanted to be
or that big brother you always wanted too.....

'This is the beginning of the end for marijuana prohibition across the world'

Colorado voted to legalise recreational use last week in a move that could hurt the cartels and challenge the long US 'war on drugs'

Another glass facade among a string of restaurants, boutiques and offices in downtown Denver, there is little to distinguish the premises save the logo with a green cross. The reception is bright and neat and, at first glance, non-descript. Community event notices on the walls, orchids on a desk, a visitor on a sofa filling in a form.

Copies of National Geographic adorn the coffee table but the eye is drawn to colourful hardbacks: The Big Book of Buds: Marijuana Varieties from the World's Great Seed Breeders, volumes I to III. Beside them, another catchy title: The Cannabible.

Ean Seeb, the co-owner, offers a warm smile and handshake. "Other places put up Bob Marley posters and palm trees, but if you didn't know us, this could be a doctor's office."

We pass a hallway display case filled with elaborate bongs, waterpipes and glass pipes and enter a sanctum where two employees in black T-shirts serve customers weed from glass jars labelled with names such as Bio-Diesel, Ultimate '91 ChemDawg and DJ Short's Flo. They chat about Barack Obama's victory, check ID, swipe credit cards. It's all rather routine, even banal.

That is the point. Denver Relief, one of 500 medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Colorado, offers itself as testament to the fact you can openly, legally sell the drug without the sky falling or drugged zombies rampaging...............

Awesome! I haven't heard that argument tactic since my nephew said "only a pooh pooh head drinks beer".
