Anybody else happy marijuana is legal in MA?

No one with such jobs should use it before a shift, JUST LIKE booze. But at home on their own time? WGAF?

Once a viable breath/blood test is developed your fear of lawsuits should be diminished. It IS currently a problem bc THC can be detected for over a month, so quite obviously the presence of THC in a piss test or hair test does not and cannot indicate whether someone is actually under the influence at the time of the test.

You're right wgaf, but until they find something equivalent to an alcohol test for THC all bets are off.

$480 an oz.? Wow!! Somebody's getting robbed.

Does pot really cost $ 480.00 per ounce? That's a lot of ammo.

I'm thinking about growing some for that reason alone. I wander what market price will be like and how much of this you can produce with 6 plants.

So is this 6 plants per person?

As long as Trump who is against it doesn't say to the FED's start enforcing the laws now.

I'd hope that he works on bigger issues than weed or bathrooms.

 

[GaryO]

Yes, still a federally prohibited substance.
My tenants at my last complex said they were going to get med cards to bypass a no-smoking policy. I informed them that they would lose their federal rent assistance.

The way the law is written, landlords still can prohibit the smoking of pot on the property.

Its the only thing I'm happy about today.

 

[Pinion]

No. That will be illegal. You will need to be a licensed seller. Look at Colorado.

Actually it will allow for the non-sale transfer of 1oz (or up to 3oz, I forget which) cannabis between two people.

Edit: Its 1oz, not 3.

Yeah I should apologize to members like Laura for my "weakness" trying to "feel good" while dealing with a non curable bladder and prostate disease that has taken my job, my savings, my life, my home, left me on SSDI with nothing but trying to "feel good" instead of chronic testicular nerve pain that could put down a ****in elephant........sorry I chose pot over percocets after 2 years of 4-8 pills a day, can you forgive me? You know nothing of weakness.

I do not envy you your illness, and I also don't think you should be prevented from the pain mitigation.

But....do you drive while under the influence? Or carry a firearm?

At that price it is probably some high quality stuff versus something like Mexican brick weed which is basically catnip.

 

[greencobra]

480 an ounce!!! Last time I bought an ounce it was 12 bucks.....1969 maybe? Glad I took to drink.

I had a beer last night, you going to ask me the same question?

 

[wahsben]

I'm pretty sure that it does.

Doesn't use make you a prohibited person?

 

[pastera]

Don't partake but I am glad that people won't be legally throat punched for something quasi equivalent to alcohol.

I believe the question said you'd be able to give it to another adult. At that point there's no record of whether the recipient gave you some form of compensation for it.

it makes sense so that the wife can go shopping and share with hubby! LOL or the other way around.

 

[pastera]

Or the most widely used psychoactive drug in the world...caffeine?

How dare you! What are you going after next, leather miniskirts and skin tight sweaters? And you call yourself a patriot...

I don't, and won't, smoke. But I hope this is the beginning of the end of prohibition against marijuana in this country. Prohibition didn't work for alcohol. It isn't working for marijuana either. We need to stop sending billions to the Mexican mafia. We need to stop for-profit policing.

 

[pastera]

Alcohol isn't federally prohibited.

Didn't stop people from using when it was so why should it be different today?

Not sure what your point is. I'm simply stating why alcohol and marijuana are held to different standards regarding drug testing/employment. I don't make the rules and I'm not stating an opinion.

 

[cbrxx]

I'm ok with it. I think it was the Walpole PD chief on FOX25 this morning talking about houses burning down from growing. I'm sure that is possible when they turn the place into a mega grow house, but not growing the allowed 6 plants allowed in this ballot question.

if you admit to it on 4473, yes. Why anyone would tell the gov't something they don't need to know is beyond me.

When forms don't have a "none of your damned business" option, I select the next best one which usually is "no".


-hypothetically of course. Drugs are bad mmmmkay?

My point is that alcohol should never have been prohibited and only through blatant civil disobedience was prohibition repealed - we are seeing the same effects with pot now.

Drug testing for employment is a private contract between employee and employer. If a spot check for current inebriation for pot is developed you will most probably see a move away from blanket prohibition at work to an informed consent to immediate testing.

Preaching to the choir.

Good for gun owners who need it for health purposes. Eliminates the need for a medical maryjane card which makes you a PP in the eyes of the Feds.

 

[MachineHead]

I havent bought a gun in a while,but doesn't the 4473 ask you that question in the present tense ?

It asks are you a user,not have you ever used...So,as long as you didn't get stoned the day of purchase,you are good to go !!

This is some Jeff Spicolli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" rationale here. [lol]

 

[Gator9329]

So will these pot stores accept EBT cards?

So I loose my right to self defense if I have a beer? Or smoke a joint? If someone threatens my life I have to say "I had a beer you can kill me I can't resist". You need to rethink your position.

I'm not sure if he meant you or I but don't be offended I wasn't he's correct to ask about driving and carrying concealed on drugs and your right about not being denied a LTC based on a medication for pain, or even when it is legalized and treated just like booze. The answer is the same as if you had a script for opiates or drank alcohol.....COMMON SENSE and a respect for your fellow man on the roads if I took a few opiates I wouldn't drive, if I had 2 beers I wouldn't drive. I wait 6-8 hrs before driving after smoking and I let my LTC lapse for financial reasons and may or may not ever try again but there is a common ground on this its the same as any other "intoxicating" substance don't carry or drive under the influence..simple.
