But hey, he's in the police academy, that must make him an automatic expert in everything.

Speaking of which, I'm really stoned!, I'm off to the frig for more food!

since all the ****ing pot head hippies in california complain about nausia and how only their marijane can cure them. why dont they go for the synthetic THC, such as marinol. well they used to argu that becaus eit could only be taken orally that it took too long to get into thier system. well now marinol comes in an inhaller form and takes about 5 seconds to enter the system just like smoking weed. so now whats their excuse??? they dont have one. the only difference is that the synthetic THC doesnt have a psychoactive effect. see where im going with this?? pot heads are potheads. they dont give a **** about its "medicinal" uses, they just want to get high. the feds still dont see it as a medicinal drug and probably never will, california can not save you if the feds want to arrest you or shut down your shop.

comparing halucinagens to stimulants is stupid. they release completely different neurochemicals. if you were going to use MDMA as an example then you can compare them i guess, only because it is both. for those that dont know, MDMA = methyldioxy meth-amphetetine, or ecstacy. kinda funny, its the active chemical in payote mixed with meth, haha.

In 1999, Marinol was rescheduled from Schedule II to III of the Controlled Substances Act, reflecting a finding that THC had a potential for abuse less than that of LSD, cocaine, and heroin. This rescheduling comprised part of the argument for a 2002 petition for cannabis rescheduling in the United States, in which petitioner Jon Gettman noted, "Cannabis is a natural source of dronabinol (THC), the ingredient of Marinol™, a Schedule III drug. There are no grounds to schedule cannabis in a more restrictive schedule than Marinol™"

At its 33rd meeting, the World Health Organization Expert Committee on Drug Dependence recommended transferring tetrahydrocannabinol to Schedule IV of the Convention, citing its medical uses and low abuse potential. This would put THC in the Convention's least stringently-controlled Schedule.

You need a license to buy the drugs, but its a simple form you fill out when you are 18 to request the license, and then you can start buying drugs right away

you are free to do all the drugs you want in the privacy of your own home or establishments for drugs (drug bars)

When you are on drugs, you are not allowed to receive public assistance. Its your own decision to be stoned 24/7 and its legal, but the rest of the public is not going to flip the bill for you to live.

If you OD or do something stupid, you are not allowed to use public assistance to pay for your hospitalization, this will be on the lines of a student loan. You are treated and released but you owe uncle sam for your stay. Your license is revoked for 1 year for being stupid.

I have no problem with people being drunk or stoned on their own time, it does not affect me 1 bit. When they sit on welfare and public assistance, that affects me, and that pisses me off.
