Weed decriminalization begins this Friday[views:14674][posts:187]_____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 9:59am - Josh_Martin ""] Any questions, go here. http://www.mass.gov/courts/courtsandjudges...rans1005possession-of-marihuana.pdf |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:04am - arilliusbm ""] awesome. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:16am - inject-now ""] do you just get a $100 ticket if you get pulled over with a joint lit up? i browsed through the link and it didn't say anything about operating a car while smoking. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:29am - ScmFck ""] "By way of illustration rather than limitation, possession of one ounce or less of marihuana shall not provide a basis to deny an offender student financial aide, public housing or any form of public financial assistance including unemployment benefits, TO DENY THE RIGHT TO OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE or to disqualify an offender from serving as a foster parent or adoptive parent." Its kinda confusing honestly but i think that means they can't take your license away anymore. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:29am - ScmFck ""] so i assume smoking while driving would not matter |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:32am - Yeti ""] i think that would fall under the "public use" section. this is great news. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:33am - arilliusbm ""] I thought I heard it would be a DUI |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:33am - Yeti ""] i think that means that you can't have your license suspended if operating under the influence. i think that if you are driving while stoned they could be dicks and get you for OUI. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:34am - Yeti ""] wait that doesn't make any sense. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:34am - Yeti ""] there are still many loopholes. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:37am - RustyPS ""] I think that means if you possess less than an ounce, they can't take your license away for it....but if you're actually driving whilst high, I think that's a different story....I could be wrong though |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:44am - Yeti ""] yeah thats what i was trying to say. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:45am - Josh_Martin ""] If you get convicted of posession, you will no longer lose your license. If you get caught driving while high, you can be charged with OUI, just like always. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:46am - inject-now ""] thats so fucking gay. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:48am - Yeti ""] my question is how do they determine you were driving while high? i mean obviously there are telltale signs, but as with a breathalyzer you'd need some kind of proof. i wonder if this would make it easier for a cop to say you were driving while high. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:50am - arilliusbm ""] if they smell pot in your car, you're fucked. best thing to do is pay attention while driving, carry some visine, light a cigarette/cigar, roll the windows down, and get some spray. or, smoke before you drive. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:51am - Yeti ""] yeah exactly, don't be stupid about it. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:55am - arilliusbm ""] i put thousands of smoking miles on my car during the college days. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:56am - pam ""] So if I were to say...fishbowl my bedroom...could the neighbors call the cops? I don't smoke in my apt cause of the kids and all but I'm just curious. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 10:58am - FuckIsMySignature ""] thought this was already in effect...oops |
| __________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:11am - ScmFck ""] Possession also includes having THC in the bloodstream. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:14am - arilliusbm ""] pam, just buy a volcano for 600 bucks. 98% THC hits (as opposed to 50-65% smoked) and it barely smells. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:17am - pam ""] Nice to know if I ever got bagged I wouldn't lose my kids and shit. I always worried about that. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:28am - Pires ""] how about not smoking at all because of kids? Time to grow up. Whether or not it's in the house, it's still fucked |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:31am - arilliusbm ""] there is no difference than drinking a few beers to relax or smoking IMO. just don't do either around kids. if it at all threatens their safety and yours, then yea, give it up. nothing wrong with wanting to relax man, as long as you're a RESPONSIBLE adult. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:31am - pam ""] Pires said:how about not smoking at all because of kids? Time to grow up. Whether or not it's in the house, it's still fucked But it's cool to drink beer right? Yeah. Jump off your pedestal, dickhead. |

Exactly. I hardly ever smoke, hardly ever have more than a beer. My kids are well taken care of, loved, and provided for. I know plently of straight edge "grown ups" that are shitty parents. And I'm not having this fucking argument with some asshole that doesn't know shit about me. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:35am - arilliusbm ""] I've seen this one couple in my town smoking a joint while walking their kid in a carriage. Although I am for legalization, it's still an intoxicant and should not be exposed around young children. I can't stand people that drink and then tell people that smoke to grow up. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:37am - pam ""] I watch gross broads chainsmoking butts while pregnant all the time. I wouldn't even eat fish when I was pregnant. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:39am - tylor ""] im only 21, i definitely have never had to take care of a kid, but i dont think quitting weed would make anyone a better parent, especially if said parent has been smoking weed their whole life |
| ______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 11:43am - pam ""] There is no difference between a joint and a cocktail. There is no difference between me going out with my girlfriends and hitting a bong and me going out for Chinese food with them and drinking a scorpion bowl. Some people will take any excuse to act superior to someone else. |

| ________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 12:00pm - sever ""] If you smoke weed for long enough, a bong rip is like a morning coffee - you could go without if you had to... but why would you ever have to? Weed only intoxicates you if you smoke more than reasonable amount. If you're smoking to get intoxicated, you're a moron. There are so many other qualities in weed that allow you to be more philosophical and creative than you ever could sober. I dont think using this drug would affect parental skills at all, and in fact, I believe it could allow someone to be a BETTER parent by facilitating the understanding of other points of view. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2008 2:50pm - Pires ""] I don't drink or smoke weed. I'm not on a pedestal. I'm just saying there's more to life than getting high or drunk. Losing your kids because of something you can control is stupid. Especially when it comes to weed. And you're right, there are responsible adults. But I just have a problem with parents who smoke with young children. |

And you actually are putting yourself on a big pedestal of faggotry. You are equating "growing up" with quitting weed. That is dumb. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:08pm - arilliusbm ""] There's a lot to life. I feel more connected to music while smoking than I do sober. Simple as that. That's the primary reason why I enjoy smoking. I don't parade around smoke irresponsibly. I enjoy relaxing and listening to music, sober or not. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 30,2008 3:09pm - porphyria ""] my ex-gf's parents use to get high with her friends (much younger) with their other 10-11 year old daughter in the next room. It was pretty uncomfortable to be around that. people can do what they want, I don't really care. I'll never understand why some people can't function without getting high or get drunk constantly...or is that backwards? oh well! |
