    If y'all only knew what drugs & alcohol do you'd never use/drink again.

    Alcohol is straight up poison
    THC and other drugs like this are just short circuiting your brains reward system. You should never do this because it deprives you of natural pleasure you will feel when you do something good. There is no free lunch.
    Honestly 90% of the stuff the pharmaceutical companies sell , you should avoid.
    Even vitamins and herbal supplements are a bad idea.

    Eat a healthy varied diet and try to get some exercise.

    I suppose.

    Ever see the movie Idiocracy?

    That future reality is coming and pot plays the key role. Enjoy.

    You compare pot to alcohol. So if they did as you suggest and made pot ok
    Like alcohol, you won't be able to be in possession of pot when in the truck.
    I would like to think that all drivers are responsible enough not to smoke and/or drink and drive, time and time again, we are shown that the opposite is true.

    This whole post is stupid. Go read federal regs on THC. It can remain in your system up to 30 days. God forbid, you are in an accident with serious injury or death. You will be tested. If they find any trace of drugs in your system, you are done. The DA will have a field day with you.

    I don't see any logic behind not being able to consume alcohol or cannabis in your cab after a long day of trucking, but that's not what we're discussing right now anyways. You can always store alcohol or cannabis in a container on the catwalk.

    Wait, are you really a flat earther? Your comment would be hilariously hypocritical if so.

    You did your poll, you got your results. All you're doing now is complaining about something the rest of us have been dealing with for years.
    And trolling. You're doing a lot of trolling. If you want to stick around you'll need to quit that. It's up to you.

    I'm not trolling, what are you talking about? I asked honest answers and people gave uneducated responses or accused me of using drugs while driving. I think you should go back and see what people wrote.

    See...you're still doing it. You asked questions, questions that have been asked a thousand times over, and you got answers. You call the answers "uneducated". So much for your lack of bias. The answers were honest and based on experience.
    I'm not going to do any more dialogue with you. You argue just for the sake of argument and I don't have time for such foolishness.. There are plenty of areas in the forum where you can contribute something useful. If not, there are other forums.
