Nope...I would smoke. Go to bed, and go to sleep

I never drove a truck when I smoked. Never worked any job when I smoked. Too damn paranoid. I drove my car a couple of times. usually only a couple of blocks for munchies...then straight home.

I don't want anybody driving a truck near me, while high...period.

But I think the test are overly excessive. There should be a test for levels of "intoxity".

My husband was a daily user for 30+ years until he started driving. During that time, he would work as hard as he needed to, 60-80 weeks were the norm. He would work hard, create meals, and do what he needed to do. You can't tell me that everyone who smokes pot just sits around watching tv and is lazy. When he comes home for home time, he just drinks beer now. He can legally drink beer on his days off but not smoke. I don't see the difference. Neither should be done while on duty, but off duty they are both equal in my opinion. He has not touched marijuana since four months before he started trucking school, and won't until he retires. But you can be sure that once he retires, he will start smoking again.

A big thumbs up for you and hubby. I'll be doing the same LOL

My wife has quit too, as a courtesy to me. I still let her burn one from time to time, when we go out with friends. I just make sure I'm not close enough, even to smell it.

I don't smoke. I can't stand the smell of it. I was thrilled that he stopped.

IF they were to legalize it it would have to be regulated just as strongly as alcohol use. Sales and use would have to be age limited. Personally I feel that the age of 21 to buy and consume alcohol is too "high". It should be 18 across the board. At the age of 18 you are given a voice in our countries election process, you can join a branch of the Armed Forces, why are you not allowed to drink alcohol.
The argument against 18 is that the teenager is not responsible enough to handle the risks of alcohol consumption. but for some reason they are responsible enough to vote and DIE for their country.
I think they should legalize marijuana. It would be a hell uv a way to increase revenue and create jobs in the US. IMO

What's next?Telling us ''it's illegal'' to eat ''cookies''.

It just never ends with this word ''illegal''

It seems to me everyday,every month and every year the ''free world'' draws closer to (commi).

Is it ''legal'' for me to blast a good ''FART'' IN PUBLIC?or do i have to do ''TIME''

Are they going to judge my ''FART'' ON A'' SNIFFER SCALE'' TO SEE HOW POTENT IT IS AND JUDGE ME ON THE AMOUNT OF ''TIME'' I HAVE TO SERVE.

Are they going to call in the ''FART'' professionals during my trial?Or are they going to call in the ''FSA''- FART SMEELER ASSOCIATION?

when does it end?
