About time legalization of marijuana began. Now it will spread throughout the country as it should have 50 years ago. So nice to see this country be more liberal and stupid crap like pot

Raysfan, what are some jobs that prohibit the lawful consumption of alcohol on an employees private time?

I understand there is wording within the amendment that allows for companies to set their own policies regarding employment. I just believe there will be court challenges regardless.

“Workplace testing programs are in place for worker and public safety purposes.”

And the US invaded Iraq to “spread freedom.” Yeah, some jobs test for public safety reasons, but I had to take a piss test when I was hired at mine and all I do is sit in a cubicle all day. Unless you’re a bus driver or something–and even then, it shouldn’t be anybody’s business what you do on your own time–I’d say the programs are more about indirect enforcement of stupid drug prohibition laws.

Indaburg, the same could be said for Tim Horton’s coffee up here. After drinking GOOD coffee, I realize how nasty that crap actually is. Gotta be spiked with something addictive…

Starbucks is some godawful coffee. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were putting drugs in it to get people to drink it.

Old Gator should get the American Medal of Freedom this year. A man that would have stood shoulder to shoulder with Sam Bowie at the Alamo.

Workplace testing programs are in place for worker and public safety purposes. No court is going to strike those programs down. They often include alcohol too, so legality of the drug is not an issue.

Don’t forget, boys and girls, Timmy is a native of Bellevue, Washington, and spent his, uh, formative years at the Univ. of Washington. I’m not sure where he spends his off-seasons, but Washington would now have to be right near the top of his list.

What about Viagra? It's been a while since anyone tested me for that, unfortunately.

Craig, you protest the profiling of Hispanics in Arizona, yet you gleefully profile poor Timmeh by running his picture with this story on pot. Isn’t that hypocritical? And yes, I know his “history”.

Hk as much as I agree killing someone in a car accident while drunk or high is terrible and wrong and should be handled appropriately but no one is talking about legalizing driving under the influence. And although this might and probably has occurred it is far less then with drunk drivers or even drivers on prescription pills.

Kmaddy – except one thing that those that light up better know – with Alcohol (always request a blood test – free legal advice – better advice, don’t drink and drive, ever!) – the body can motabilize the material relatively quickly and eliminate enough to sometimes get the concentration below the legal limit. With TCH, there is the situation where markers are present up to two weeks AFTER consumption. So unless these states also come up with a “legal TCH level”, you’re looking at guaranteed OWI convictions every time for stoners behind the wheel. First one that kills someone in a car, which by the way is no worse than driving drunk and killing someone (I’m against both!) will make for interesting comments from those that got these laws on the respective ballots.

It seems crazy to me that people in government and outside of government want less involvement of the federal government and more things be handled on the state level until things like legalization of weed and same sex marriages are past on the state level. Also with the failing economy and the debt rises the government can’t see past their noses to see the amount of tax money that can be made and money saved on the so called war on weed.

I would rather deal with a contently drowsy stoner than an angry drunk any day. No one gets angry on pot (I’m talking traditional MJ, not the souped up stuff some kids are smoking today). It can even tame willclarkgameface. Forget lithium and thorazine for Bobby V. All he needs to do is smoke a little weed.

Same standards would apply… No public intoxication just like alcohol, dwi’s etc. Regulated just like alcohol.

More to the point, man – dig it, how can you give a guy an extra 50 games when there are only 154 games in a season? Like, is he supposed to pitch into January?

what kmaddy said, with a sincere wish that part of the regulation involves no public smoking….stinky…and, those ofus who choose not to indulge can actually do so if there is no public smoking.

Peace out ‘gameface. I would never say this to any other person but you should do more drugs. It’s clearly good for you. Man.
