Should we be able to use cannabis on our time off?

It’s like trying to have a discussion about the circumference of the Earth with people that think it’s flat.

 

Then the dope smokers would complain THAT test was too sensitive and they don't FEEL intoxicated. There will always be rules and the rule breakers will always complain that the rules, any rule, are unfair. Thus as it ever was.

 

What's a better IQ test than being told at least 3 times before you enter trucking you will be drug tested before school, before getting hired, after an accident, and randomly? They don't call it "dope" because it makes anyone smarter.

 

Alcohol's a drug. On a side note, are you aware alcohol in the cab of a commercial vehicle out of reach of the driver's seat (like in the fridge) is legal in Canada? Yes Sir. I having a cold Corona with a slice of lime in the sleeper everyday when I'm done my shift.

 

Not in Canada.

 

Pop into the bar at the Iowa 80. Or anywhere else, for that matter. Who do you think all those burly men are at the bar. They're drivers. Each and every one of them. What we have here, is the church choir.

 

This discussion is about legalizing its use during off duty time and without a certain amount of time before going on duty, comparable to alcohol use. If that happens and you report anyone you catch, you'd be a Karen

 

No you're not. There is no alcohol in the truck in the scenario your presenting. It also isn't illegal in Canada to have alcohol in the truck. What is legal in the USA in this case is to attend a licensed establishment and indulge in the consumption of alcohol. And you most certainly may return to the confines of your sleeper as long as you aren't in possesion of alcohol you haven't already consumed. And the legal limit for CVL' s is 0.04

 

This has nothing to do with the question posed in this thread. This thread is oriented to the recent changes in Marijuana restrictions and how the industry will mandate social privledges recently and currently changing status in society. The majority of the posts in this thread seem to feel its a perspective where breaking the law is the weighted objective. Like a rolling blockade, which I'm sure many of you think is a great means to protest COVID restrictions or ELDs. It was never suggested that the original poster of this thread was attempting to start a revolution. It was an intelligent and interesting prose to said recent changes in regulation, and nothing else. I saw the poster drug through the mud like Jim Crow.

For all the scientists on here, we account for our actions through a theory that all things have a number and no two things have the same number exploiting the geometry of the Greek mathematician Euclid. If you rob a bank and no one sees you, Euclidean Geometry did. And that's how you got caught. That being said, we are good at accounting for one thing, not two. We don't do two things well. Canadians, like Americans, also are good at accounting for one thing and not two. We don't do two things well, either. Amercicans chose to have guns in there trucks and at the end of the day they can go to the range. Canadians choose to have beer, and at the end of the day they can have a cold one. Americans can't have beer because they have guns. Canadians can't have guns because they have beer. That's why. You'll try and say it's because of all types of other safety facets, but it isn't. Because, and it was stated before, it's not illegal for a holder of a CVL to be in a licensed establishment. If that were true, it would be a safety facet. Before one can have a perspective on this discussion, one must understand the greater philosophies being presented here. And that yields democracies.

 

This topic is getting old. If you want to kick back on off time and enjoy a cold one. Go for it, just ditch the empty's before you leave. Problem solved. As far as smoking weed. It can stay in your system for up to 30 days. Legal in some states. Not legal to be in your system as a CMV driver. I could care less if its in your truck. If you pee hot, You are screwed. Bottom line.

If weed is your thing, fine. You do you. However, look at another profession

Case Closed.
