Finally, a step in the right direction

Some will agree, others will not. It won’t happen overnight, but the time will come. I don’t partake myself, nor do I think someone should be using behind the wheel or at work, around kids, and so on. But, I feel as though it’s much safer than alcohol, and certainly safer than the narcotic pain killers and muscle relaxers that the doctors and the VA love to prescribe.

You’re correct, it is, but I believe in my lifetime that will change. People are idiots, and regardless of what the law is or isn’t, you’re going to have people that have no self control or idea of how to be responsible.

 

That’s true, it probably won’t pass the senate. As far as the provisions for the DOT go, IMHO, if they do that, then they need to ban alcohol too, because if someone can have a drink while off duty and go back to work as long as they’re sober, than someone should be able to smoke and go back to work, as long as they’re sober, if they so choose. I’m not advocating for the legalization of all drugs like Oregon, I don’t agree with that personally, but hippie hay should not be classified as a schedule 1 like heroin.
And for the record, I’m a teetotaler myself. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. I rarely even take ibuprofen. I just find that these antiquated, draconian laws don’t reflect reality.
