REEFER MADNESS!!!!!!

TL;DR

As it turns out, we STILL don't give a shit about anything you think or anything you have to say until you stand up on two legs and resign from TCC.

[AFK]

So?  You think legalization is going to end that?  If marijuana is legalized that means composition will have to be regulated.  When the government regulated marijuana fails to give the end user their bang for their buck they are going to go right back to the cartels who will change their business model to compete with government marijuana.  So it is very likely your hardcore marijuana user will still be dealing with the black market and will still be getting product with mystery ingredients.  

DOESN'T HAPPEN.

DOESN'T HAPPEN.

DOESN'T FUCKING HAPPEN.

Sure it does.  The DEA has seized marijuana joints that are laced with PCP. 

[East Coast Hustle]

Yeah, because the person whose joints they were WANTED to smoke some PCP with their weed. Or because they had a market of willing customers who WANTED PCP in their weed. Nobody sells laced weed to people who don't want it, unless maybe it's a form of revenge for being ripped off by that person or something like that.

Also, I don't know how many DEA field agents you've ever known, but every single one I've ever known has been just as big a scumbag as the dealers they pretend to go after. Wouldn't put it past them at all to plant shit like that every once in a while to justify their tactics and/or budget. Obviously, that's strictly conjecture and not meant to be a rational point of debate.

And it looks like there's a decent chance we'll get to put your theories to the test, RWHN:

If this passes in November, it will be legal under Washington State law for adults over the age of 21 to buy up to an ounce of pot in state-run stores for recreational purposes. We'll see if it turns Seattle into a scene from The Warriors or not.

I wonder how they will test for this:

Meanwhile, it would establish penalties for driving under the influence of marijuana....

Don't get me wrong. Personally, I think it's high time the states changed their laws.
(But wouldn't the federal law put a kink in the state's law) - Not that it is stopping anyone currently from producing and distributing in the states that it is currently legal in.

Anyway-back to my train of thought, how in the hell would anyone be able to establish the fact that someone was driving under the influence of pot?

co-ordinations tests I expect.  Driving under the influence of pot is already a crime that some people get busted for.

[East Coast Hustle]

As I read the article, it will be done with a blood test. Says they've already established a THC level that is the impairment equivalent of .08 BAC.

Hmm. And I still don't give a shit about anything she has to say. Now what?

Yeah-But in all honesty, unless someone is smoking in the car or has any pot on them or in the car, i just do not understand how this would be enforced-effectively.

Well-shit-I should read the whole fucking article before posting eh.

:::edit::: to say-never mind-carry on.

[East Coast Hustle]

In Seattle, it probably won't be enforced at all unless someone is already pulled over for driving like an asshole. They've already got a city ordinance that designates marijuana posession, consumption, and small-time transfer (i.e. you won't get busted for selling if you bought an ounce and sold your buddy half of it) as the absolute lowest priority crime for enforcement. By law, inside the city limits of Seattle, if a cop sees you smoking a joint on the sidewalk and sees somebody jaywalking down on the corner, he's required to go fuck with the jaywalker before he fucks with you. I am not sure about this, but I believe that school-zone related penalties supersede that ordinance (meaning that if you smoke a joint across the street from the middle school you're still getting busted for being a shitneck).

(edited to remove accidental quote)

[East Coast Hustle]

As far as the rest of the state, the eastside and northend suburbs will probably end up in a sort of "at the cop's discretion" mode, the southend, Eastern Washington, and the rural parts of Western Washington will probably enforce it as stringently as they do drunk driving laws if not more stringently, and Bellingham, Olympia, and Vancouver will probably end up more or less like Seattle.

Vancouver will probably turn into some sort of bizzaro-version of Vancouver BC, because it's in the Portland metro area and also will be the closest place to buy legal weed for anyone headed north on I-5 from Cailfornia.

Yes it does. Maybe even sooner than November.
