<p>^^^^Good point. The problem is we as a society keep trying to prevent Darwin’s law of natural selection from taking place. ;)</p>
<p>
For some reason this sentence bothers me greatly. There’s something off about this sentence…</p>
<p>Even though it is legal to use in CA with a card, it still isn’t going to get you hired if you test positive at a new job. The laws are as hazy as the air in a hotbox. </p>
<p>Can you get arrested with a card in a national park carrying your legal weed? Yes - a story ran on yahoo a few weeks ago, and it is a federal offense - even for possession of the smallest amounts. Can you carry your legal weed over state laws? Depends. </p>
<p>Not having a card is foolish, but it will not protect you 100%.</p>
<p>Again, are there cons of legalizing Ms. Mary J? None that can’t be fixed through regulations. Let her be legal and join(t) her friends.</p>
<p>Not anymore, federal law now states that it will acknowledge state’s law when it comes to legal mj. Legal weed is wayyy cheaper than black market weed, so there really is no good argument against legalization.</p>
<p>I have a friend who buys pot (illegally–NYC) via a delivery service. One of the products they offer is hash oil cartridges for e-cigs. Brave new world!</p>
<p>‘Not anymore, federal law now states that it will acknowledge state’s law when it comes to legal mj’</p>
<p>withtheflow- not so sure this is the way the feds see it. it is still viewed as illegal but they are not going to do anything about it- until you get drug tested at a fed job- well that I believe if positive, would get you fired…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nurses are all up in arms that some hospitals are testing for nicotine use and are refusing to hire anyone who tests positive. I imagine they will still refuse to hire anyone who tests positive for THC, regardless of the legality.</p>
<p>
I guess there’s a stigma against using drugs.</p>
<p>I have always told my two teenagers that I would “kill” them if they ever try any kind of illegal drugs. But after watching the Wealth TV’s Marijuana Miracle Cures, and reading other related articles and researches, I have to ask - Why isn’t medical marijuana legalized in every states already??</p>
<p>[Marijuana</a> Miracle Cure 2 Wired for Weed - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>XD. What? That’s not covered under discriminatory hiring practices? Can they refuse to hire fat people, people with piercings, etc too?</p>
<p>^^^^Of course they can. Those people are not part of a “protected” class. Why do you suppose people always warn young people about visible tattoos and piercings? Corporations may have a certain “image” they want to project. Someone walking in with multiple piercings or visible tattoos may not project the desired image. They are well within their legal rights to say “hit the door.” Many hospitals have policies against visible tattoos, piercings, wild hair colors, long nails or wild colors of nail polish, etc.</p>
<p>So far, there is not a big move to not hire obese nurses (although one system did, saying that their patients didn’t like being taken care of by obese nurses), but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen with the rationale that insurance premiums and lost productivity associated with obesity is too expensive for the hospitals to overlook.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Some medical facilities won’t hire nurses who are taking legal prescription drugs (benzos and narcotics usually) because those drugs cause side effects which could affect the safety of the care given by the nurse.</p>
<p>What this thread has shown is that there are no good reasons for legalizing marijuana for the general population. It is harmful to the person using it and diminished productivity of our workforce along with endangering the safety of others. The only people who could benefit from marijuana are a select few cancer patients who cannot get pain relief otherwise. Even for most of them, they can get the benefits of marijuana through a bill or other means that does not cause a high. </p>
<p>The approach taken by states to legalize marijuana for cancer patients is not the best approach. By saying a patient needs a doctor’s prescription, the state has put the doctor in charge of determining who gets to break the law that is otherwise applicable to the general population. A better approach would be a system for a State Governor to grant a patient immunity from prosecution after the Governor has reviewed medical documentation and any other evidence necessary to conclude that there is no other method of reducing pain for a particular patient.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Have you even read the thread?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I have. I take you haven’t.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It seems clear form the article you link here that MJ had nothing to do with this crash:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>He was passing a truck.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think it shows that reading comprehension isn’t a strong suit.</p>
<p>Speak for yourself.</p>
<p>From the article,
</p>
<p>THC can stay in a person’s system for well past 6 hours and even for days depending on the user and the level of use. Under the Michigan law, any amount is under the influence. </p>
<p>Here is something from the University of Oregon.</p>

How anyone could believe any health person or our society in general can benefit from legalization of marijuana isn’t in touch with reality.</p>
<p>Here is a little more from the Oregon article. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you believe marijuana should be legalized then surely you believe more people should smoke cigarettes. Cigarettes are harmful in many of the ways marijuana is harmful. Marijuana isn’t physically addictive but is can be psychologically addictive.</p>
<p>razor- do you believe we should make tobacco cigarettes illegal?</p>
