So, Matt, Forrest, and Brent, do you want people in charge of your kids high on a legal drug while in their care???

I don't have kids... but do you leave people intoxicated on alcohol in charge of your kids?

because alcohol is legal... you are saying that if weed becomes legal, people in charge of children will do it when they wouldn't have prior.

alcohol is legal... is there an epidemic of drunk teachers going on that I haven't heard about?

[Silverback]

Same goes for my work, with guns.

Even if you have a CHL, which is legal, possessing a firearm on company property is against corporate policy. Whether in your car or on your person.

So getting caught with one is grounds for termination. So am I more likely to bring my gun to work, because I have a CHL, than if I didn't?

[bcoop]

Ok, I'll bite. What are the consequences?????

Right now - losing your job, and the possibility of your employer turning you, and the pot over to the local authorities.

If it were to be made legal - you'd still lose your job.


You can't possibly be as dense as you are letting on.

There aren't? Says who? You?

[bcoop]

There is no consequences for getting caught with it at work in the parking lot, so it's more accessible.

Don't even try to argue against that one.

IMHO, people will get high at work more because now the drug is legal. There is no consequences for getting caught with it at work in the parking lot, so it's more accessible. If it's readily available, the temptation will be there to partake.

Don't even try to argue against that one.

Oh but I will.

So if the same consequences, such as getting fired exist, the legalization would cause them to make worse judgement calls? Simply because it is not illegal to have the marijuana in their posession?

So because my work has no tobacco usage allowed on campus signs up, and I know that I'd be fired if I did get caught. Because I had cigarettes in my car I am more likely to say, "fuck my job, I'm smoking right here in the parking lot"?

[03trubluGT]

Same thing with people who speed, or people who steal, or people who do anything illegal.

Illegal activities and actions have consequences, much like everything else in life.

So because it's not legal, people don't try to get high and go to work now? I don't understand your arguements at all.

Of course NOBODY EVER does alcohol while at work..... You are very naieve.

Actually, I'm not naieve. I never said people don't drink at work. You are trying to put those words in my mouth. I drink at work 3-4 times a week. I said there are policies against it.

[Rick Modena]

If I wanted an opinion out of you, I'll beat it out of you, Plano PD style!

lmfao!!!

[Silverback]

Only when they get caught.


You know as well as I do that a very small percentage ever get canned for something like this.

Just like people with weed. They think they will never get caught and keep going and going....

And they get fired for it. What's the validity of that arguement?

You seriously took time to type that?

I don't need to be high. Period.

We are wasting time here. You aren't going to change my opinion, just like I won't change yours.

I think we're done here.

[bcoop]

Just becuase I haven't smoked weed doens't mean I can't be knowlegeable about it.

That's the thing. You sure seem to be pretty ignorant on the subject. Or else you wouldn't be comparing pot to crack.

I'm not trying to get you high. I'm saying that all of the knowledge you are spewing is second hand, and regurgitate from your super cop training, and dealing with a lot of the, as stated earlier, "underbelly of society".

Not everything has to be black and white.

[03trubluGT]

But you can't be knowlegeable about how it feels when you are shot, or what it does to your body from a personal experience. You can only regurgitate what you've read or heard about the experience. Or maybe what you've seen when someone else was shot and you experienced what they went through. But people handle pain differently, so not everyone getting shot acts the same, or feels the same pain.

See what we're getting at?
