No, not yet. My kids see me at my worst and tell me, mom, let us help you. We could get some and it might help. But I've turned it down so far. I don't need to be sick as well as in pain, so I'm scared to try, and I don't want to send them out on an illegal mission for me!Originally Posted by divadoll /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I have met many angry drunks, I've never met an angry stoner. Alcohol is also controlled,you can't distill hard liquor at home without permits. I'm sure you won't be able to grow your own either without permits. I'm sorry to hear about your injury, Donna. I hope you find relief.
Canadians, in particular, British Columbians are more forward thinking on these issues. You can grow up to 200 plants at home without charges. I neither smoke nor grow any but it is just a plant. Once US has legalized MJ, it paves the way for Canada. US is standing in the way of legalizing. It is actually interesting because Canada was going to de-criminalize but legalizing is th better step.No, not yet. My kids see me at my worst and tell me, mom, let us help you.

I don't have an opinion (or really, I'm going out of my way not to have an opinion about this subject) but I saw this floating around the other day, and it's worth sharing /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
George Takei is literally the best @$*()!)(#
It's actually against the law (in WA) to smoke cigarettes in bars as it is so smoking pot in a restaurant or bar would still be illegal under that other law.Originally Posted by Dekilah /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I also think it should be not allowed in public in general. If they want to make special bars for it (or whatever), fine. And tax them.
Haha I was thinking this. I had a roommate years ago who is the most hardcore pothead I have ever met. 24/7 the whole time I lived with her. The only thing that really annoyed me was how slooooooooooooooooooow she talked all the time. She never got into any trouble and was generally just peaceful.Originally Posted by divadoll /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Thoughts?Police: Driver high on marijuana hits, kills pedestrian in Vancouver VANCOUVER, Wash. – A driver who hit and killed a man in Vancouver Monday night admitted to police that he smoked marijuana before the crash, police said.
Witnesses said the man stepped from a median into traffic before the crash. Police said he was carrying a grocery bag.
The crash happened at 5:50 p.m. near the intersection of Anderson Road and East Mill Plain Boulevard, police said.
The driver, 47-year-old Scotty R. Rowles (pictured at right in a 2007 Multnomah County booking photo for a probation violation), was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence of marijuana. Police said he stayed at the scene after the crash.
The victim has not been identified.
A Rowles family member who spoke with KATU News said Rowles admitted to officers that he smoked pot earlier in the day, but said he was not impaired at the time of the crash.
Washington's new marijuana law states that a if there is 5 or more nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood in the body, a person can be considered impaired.
Vancouver defense attorney Andrew Wheeler is worried about that part of the law.
"There's less known about the absorption of marijuana into a person's system," Wheeler said. "It gives a driver less foreseeability."
Washington State troopers are feeling their way around the state's new law.
"We're looking for impairment," said Trooper Will Finn. "We're looking to get impaired drivers off the road. How impaired is a person with five nanograms of THC in their system? It's hard to say."
Results of Rowles' blood test won't be available for some time.
