Marijuana devastated Colorado, don’t legalize it nationally

a reply to: spliffster

I'm still not entirely convinced, smoking is simply less healthier than non-smoking and nicotine has proven possible negative physical effects. For myself I need rest, relaxation which I can't get enough without but I'm learning and smoke a less than I used to.

Anyone that tries to convince you that smoking isn't harmful is an idiot of the highest order. Smoking is burning a substance and inhaling it into your lungs as in you are inhaling a hot burning substance into your lungs, now you can filter these burning substances to appoint but still..... think about it its not rocket science.

He may be correct in that smoking weed is less harmful than smoking Tabaco and there I would agree as there are far less chemicals, other than that smoking is bad.

If you want to get stoned for instance there are many ways of doing it without smoking.

More misguided, racist bu****t from demagogue politicians trying to stir up conflict and hatred in our rotten political climate.

I am 100% certain that alcohol and/or hard drugs -- coc aine and methamphetamine -- are implicated in a great many more arrests and incarcerations for felonies and violent offenses in the state of Colorado, than marijuana. I don't have the statistics handy but everyone knows the truth of the matter, who has done a little research.

a reply to: Kryties

Yes there IS is a CARBON tar from ashes,I know,EXACTLY what I am saying and THAT is in fact the case T&C rules prohibit disclosure of any possible acts since 1976.
BUT I think I HAVE a lock on Colorado AND ...

I live in Colorado.

More proof this website is susceptible to bull# if anything.

Colorado is the most politically immune state in the USA. Leave us the hell alone fake news.

Smoking water causes cancer. Checkmate science.

Let's talk about social liberties.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

Depending on method of heat, there isn't even ash.

What is medically practiced, and socially practiced are not the same dynamic.

"Vape" is popular specifically because what you're talking about isn't an issue. It's below the temperature of incomplete combustion of carbon, thus medically 'safer'.

Now that said, popular social practice is to light the plant literally on fire and breath in the smoke.

If the company is international they tend to follow federal law if local they don't even care, but it's still up to them, but people in Colorado overlook trivial enforcement verses bureaucratic. They don't let Nurses and Doctors and Cops smoke weed because that makes sense. All those other jobs that don't require 100% attention to detail without the risk of someones life? They smoke. I knew a paralegal that fought against it being legal, for financial reasons(Reagan crap) and she sold weed on the side.

Also everyone in Colorado knows how to beat a drug test even if they had to take one. Some employers straight just save money not testing because they know it's fake results and we aren't a state of psychotics that sue and report etc when someone expresses their personal rights.

If you want to know who is not allowed to smoke in Colorado, it's felons and probation. We take crime seriously, more seriously than most of you jokers, so that's the biggest clue this whole OP is bullsnip political propaganda.

Yes, the truth is it makes no money.

We want it. Screw the Government. Anyone going to follow suit for once other than Texas who wants liberties as equally as Colorado, just maybe not the same ones?

Otherwise, we're the only ones to flip the bird to the feds for a long time, and if you think Trump won't get the same finger Clinton, Bush, and Obama got, you're absolutely wrong. The dirty scum better call in the troopers now to get my weed. You're going to need them.

Weed increases driving safety. Just survey those in accidents,
the majority probably are not impaired with THC.

It relaxes one, so a traffic jam can seem unimportant and
driving under it's influence causes one to take much more
care and at a slower pace. I would prefer everyone that
is driving to be ingesting it instead and every other drug
would be illegal to use while driving.

Here in Florida, one may got to the corner pot shop to
buy weed instead of on the street.

except that weed stays in ones system for several months after stopping so one will not pass the pee test at work!
alcohol doesn't last that long! big issue for say, a bus driver etc

This propaganda thread is still around. SMH

No it doesn't register on urine tests like that. Do a general drug test after a few days to a week, it's doesn't register.

It depends on how much you smoke and your body mass actually. If you don't smoke and have a smaller frame then yes it could be out of your system as little as half a week to a week, but habitual smokers and fatter people can see it staying in your system for upwards of a month. This is because THC cycles about 50% of itself out of your body through your waste (not just your pee btw) each day. So, if you look at the graph, you'll see big numbers dropping for the first fwe days but then it slowly trickles out of your system in the following weeks. Though it is rare for a body to continue to have THC levels that would fail a piss test past 1 month. So the poster you responded to was still wrong.

I would say that you should wait a month minimum for it to be out of your system. Just to be safe. Expecting it to be out after a week, even if you are a light smoker and have no body fat is still expecting too much.

Keep in mind that water doesn't really flush the system. It only masks THC levels in your urine by diluting the pee. The same amount of THC comes out of your system regardless of how much water you drank previously.
