Question #4 - Cannabis Legalization

[seekeroftruth]

I wish it had been legalized when I had to be in Maryland. At least that way my Arizona Medical Marijuana card would have worked. In Arizona, if you have a card, the pot is tax exempt. It costs a couple hundred dollars but by the end of the year, I've saved. So my guess is, if they legalize it, it'll help most people.

Just my opinion though.... and I'm 72 so I look at things a tad bit different these days.

The reason they want to allow this is so the black folk don’t get arrested anymore. It’s a “racist” law per democrat leaders. Decriminalization if you will.

That’s all there is to it.

It will still be sold on the streets. The govt sold stuff will be 2 to 3X more expensive.

It also stays in your system for up to 30 days.

In fact, all people supporting NAS Pax, including those working from home, are subject to drug tests at any time. Failure to take the test and/or a test detecting any illegal drugs (cannabis is still illegal by federal law) and grounds for revocation of your security clearance followed by immediate termination.

I have never seen a person with a secret clearance ever have to do a piss test (unless first hire).
The only people that get piss tested are the TS/SCI.

For your consideration ...

Now, after this passes, just watch the legislature in Annapolis think of a myriad of things for revenue enhancement, er, under the banner of safety, such as driving while high. First they'll have to establish the amount of THC in the blood number, then it's off to the races. Forget that THC can remain in the blood well after, days even, one gets high. And of course the police are already trained on how to spot if someone is high on cannabis. And since doing a drunk walk and reciting the alphabet backwards or forwards doesn't apply here, soon, all police will be trained phlebotomists as well. If not, the perp is driven to the nearest medical establishment for a blood draw. This, and many things more, yet to come from Annapolis. Just like with alcohol, only worse.

I wouldn't put it past them to pass a law that after any vehicle accident, all drivers involved will be required to get blood test for THC, regardless of who was at fault. Smoked some weed last week, not high, but with THC still in your system? Tough luck.

This can be a dangerous thing that is about to happen. Because, as we all know, until the Feds remove it from the illegal drugs roster, anyone convicted or any coming law, or that is a known user, will loose their 2nd Amendment right. In addition to still being able to get arrested by any federal agent.

So tread carefully in this up and coming minefield of legalities.

I have, but they were suspected or had been involved in an incident where something was damaged. Also had someone at work given a breathalyzer, they failed.

Early in my career there was this one crazy guy probably in his late 50s that smoked weed at work. My team leader sent me out with him one day ( first month on the job), he disappeared for a long time leaving me to wait on him. He showed up about three hours later pupils dilated, all kinds of messed up. Thank God he got arrested for DUI and lost his clearance.
