yeah, but all it can determine is whether or not they're stoned, not HOW stoned they are.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

I just googled every phrase I could think of that would be relevant and every article seems to corroborate what I just said.

in fact, it can't even determine if you;re currently stoned, just that you have used marijuana somewhat recently. So, if I smoked a joint yesterday, I should be able to be prosecuted for drugged driving because it showed up on a roadside breath test?

that sort of shit is fine for you Eurospags, but that's exactly the sort of thing my ancestors left the Netherlands to avoid.

well, that and the hideous wooden shoes.

It would be fine and dandy if whether or not driving stoned or buzzed impacted only said person's life and their life only.  When it has the potential to impact (literally) the lives of other, then, in my blunt and honest opinion, it's fucked up.  Why take chances?  

So then you're fine with people getting stoned as long as they don't drive or operate heavy machinery? That seems reasonable to me.

Of course, that brings up the question... should you tip your dealer? (To keep this from thread drift).

My answer is Yes, you should pack a bowl out of the bag you bought and smoke him or her up.

Since they are a business owner and not an employee, and you're paying them for merchandise and not a service, no. However, it would be mannerly to give any sole proprietor you have a good ongoing relationship with a small, thoughtful holiday or birthday gift or card.

I am never going to South Dakota, one strand of my hair would land me in prison.

I gotta disagree on that one.  your average weed dealer is no more a business owner than the coordinator at a tupperware party.  A weed dealer is a redistributor for the person he gets his weed from.  Yeah, it's an odd system since the lower dealer takes on the risk, but that's how black markets tend to work.  He doesn't own the means of production, or enough distribution to really be an independent contractor.  Although it depends on the level he's dealing at

Got in a deabte about this on revleft not too long ago actually.

And I'm with Rat, you are supposed to smoke a bowl with your dealer.  Sometimes out of the weed you are buying prior to buying it, as a way to guarantee it is something you want to buy.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.
