Working while stoned: How will companies cope? - Page 12

The use of medical marijuana is entirely different than recreational use.

Why is it that some are just assuming that everyone will use the recreational marijuana responsibly? It is now readily available to people who may not or may not have thought about its use in the past. History has proven that crimes/accidents/incidents that incur while impared/distracted are handled and punished as minor infractions. I believe that there should be some concern, not something to figure out later.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

I don't think anybody said that 'everyone' who uses it will be responsible.

But people who are responsible citizens will, and people who will act irresponsibly most likely already were acting irresponsibly, so nothing really changes with the advent of legal weed.

People were buying it way way before it became legal in some places. I hadn't bought it for probably 20 years but, like millions of others, I purchased my share of it when it was illegal, back in the day. That didn't automatically make any of us act irresponsibly using it, just by virtue of the fact that we had it. Things are seldom just black and white - there is way more grey area in any given issue than there is one extreme or the other.

I don't know how many more ways to explain that.

The thing with driving and smoking. You could smoke 3 weeks ago and a blood test would still show thc.

As I understand it, in CA at least there is no one set number for the cannabis equivalent of 0.8 blood alcohol level=DUI. I don’t think any sort of breathalyzer would work, I think for now it has to be results by drawn blood sample.

I also don’t know if they’ve even worked on how long it might ‘impair’ someone. Right now it seems they’re tending to go overboard and wanting to shout “DUI!” and “impaired!” if the person registers any THC.

Translating that to alcohol or OTC use, if you have a drink at 6 pm Tuesday, you would not have an appreciable blood alcohol level at 3 pm on Wednesday, nor would you be impaired. If you took Sudafed at noon on Wednesday, you would not have residual in your system affecting you at 6 pm on Thursday. BUT there are people who are stressing that if there is any THC in a person’s blood, no matter how little or that it was used 2-3 days prior, that person is of course “impaired” - because alcohol = peachy, cannabis = you WILL be stoned, even though that’s not true. Many people couldn’t care less about the accuracy of it.

@chickenbutt, there are those who with their last breath will condemn anyone who professes to use cannabis for any reason in any way, shape or form, and similarly condemn anyone who consumes any alcohol whatsoever.

They can’t relate to me, I can’t relate to them - and I’m great with that. I wouldn’t want to be that for anything. I have no use for those who see anything in 100% black or white.
