Unfortunately, a regulated marketplace isn't going to be much better than a black market. It may no longer be illegal, but the ones selling you the drugs still want to keep you addicted, don't give a damn about your well-being, and just want to make a lot of money. Trading one criminal for...

Pretty sure it can't be more than 30 minutes to an hour. Besides, if it did test for marijuana usage within the past month, you could get that thrown out so easily in court. It isn't illegal to have it in your system. It's illegal to posess, sell, manufacture, and drive under the influence...

You're not getting the point though, bud. It's not allowed in schools. In school, at least lower education (k-12), once you enter school grounds, your rights go out the window for the most part. Freedom of speech is pretty limited, and everything needs to be approved by the administration before...

I've already said that administrators will have their own agendas. Some might even be willling to let the pot shirts slide, but it's doubtless that inaction on the administration's part would cause rioting among the community. Marijuana is just too touchy an issue to joke around with when it...

And once again, scare tactics and generations of conservative thinking throw out a measure that could have saved so much money and spared a lot of people from underage drug abuse.

Yeah I caught that too.. fuckin' hilarious. It definately is voluntary, as long as you can afford to lose your job. Hypocrits rejoice. "required volunteering..." that's going to be the new slogan of the 21st century.

Doesn't matter if it's medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, it's still marijuana. Schools across the nation all agree that the school is supposed to be a drug free environment, with neither the drugs nor the representation of them on school grounds. If someone came into school wearing a...

Just playing Devil's Advocate here... I've got family who is from the hippie era, and were/are hippies themselves. Now, these folks have smoked a lot of pot, and they have told me that there is, without a doubt, a HUGE increase in potency from what used to be around. They also point out...

I like how they are hyping it as a "cure for cannabis." Cannabis doesn't need a cure, cannabis dependancy does, and what is more, you can't cure dependancy, you can only stop taking the substance causing the dependance. They are basically playing this off as those who smoke marijuana have a...

Rgr that. You can't arrest a 12 year old for bringing pot into school. Maybe offer counseling for the child and their parent(s), but you can't fucking arrest a 12 year old. He doesn't have the cognitive abilities to fully comprehend what he's doing. The kid is going to have that on his record...

Hell I smoke every day, have a full time job, and go to school full time... I know there are some people who can just do that. Most, however, aren't so fortunate. The drug does form a dependance in most people, if used on a daily basis. Once or twice a month, hell, in a week, is not enough to do...

Way way way too extreme, bud. Think about it... no one but the folks at home ever see the results. There is absolutely NOTHING to gain by just handing out free drug tests, unless, as the article states, the parents decide to use the other services offered. It's basically a promotional...

When will we learn that video taping a crime we commit is not a good idea?

Pffft... that'll last me a day... maybe 2.

^ Merickson has a valid point. While it's always kind of cool to "stick it" to the bible thumpers, religion is by no means a good way to judge any sort of law/public policy. Religion, in all it's many forms, is always based upon intangible ethics, morals, stories, and practices that are...
