So, you are arguing that neither one should be legal?

Should drugs prescribed by M.D's be illegal after they get hooked and die of overdose? Have yet to see someone die of OD off marijuana.

I’m on the road a bit and more often than not I’ll catch a strong whiff of it coming from the car next to me or the one in front. Windows rolled up, and I can still smell it. How do cops not notice this?

It feels like half the people on the road are driving around high. How is this just normal now? Do the people who smoke weed while driving not realize the smell doesn't just stay in their vehicle?


That is why it is important to pass altima drivers as soon as legally and safely as possible.

I don’t get all the bitching about weed smell on this board. Growing up anytime I smelled weed it meant a good time was going on. Concerts, parties, you name it. Anytime I catch a whiff now I’m instantly transported to the good ol days.

You can make it illegal but you can’t make it unpopular.

New Orleans treats weed laws as nonexistent and I see lines at the medical marijuana drive up windows.

I stick to wine.

Same here. My windows are rolled up and my AC is on recirculate and everyone around me has their windows rolled up. I can still smell it.

The smell is 10 times worse and 10 times stronger than it was back in the day. I hate it.

Men with power make law regardless of what leeches in suits with meaningless titles vote for or against on a piece of paper.

Sheriffs, DAs, and judges have largely decided it is no longer a problem.

Pretty easy to claim you have “anxiety” and get a prescription

They do, it’s just that it’s now a misdemeanor crime and not worth the cops time to write the ticket. Plus many of the DA’s won’t prosecute it.

God it stinks and is so pervasive that it makes many outdoor/public events impossible to enjoy.

It’s become almost as normal as smoking a cigarette


It’s probably more common now to smoke/vape weed than to smoke cigarettes

Are you retarded?

The same reason that I-12 is one of the most chaotic stretches of interstate. The police are eating donuts, sleeping or shooting dogs or something else, anything but enforcing the law.

It's shocking how easy it is. They have that goodcannanow website. You fill out your info. Within 15 minutes some out of state doctor calls you asks you a few questions and writes the script. Within an hour you have a medical card and can pick up pot
