    I've heard of vapes being engineered for liquid THB or whatever the chemical is in weed that gets you high. It's probably comparable to a nicotine vape in terms of additives (relatively few).

    Hey, I'm down for not smelling like that shit. :shrug:

    I didn't say it was the best way, just putting it out there as an example. :clyde:

    So?

    Alcohol is available to everyone regardless of the risk of alcoholism and liver disease. In fact, those facts never stopped you from drinking.

    Every single argument you have against weed applies equally to alcohol. The only real difference between them is one is legal and one isn't. Oh...and booze is far more likely to cause death to the user and others.

    Blasphemy! Weed smells awesome. If I could I'd have scented candles in weed aroma. Tobacco on the other hand is god-awful nasty shit.

    I like the smell of both, so long as the quality is good. Cigarette smoke is kind of gross, but a good cigar or pipe smells quite pleasant. Likewise, quality weed makes for a quality smell.

    pipe tobacco can smell pretty good.

    On the other hand, one time I thought someone was sparking one up behind my classroom. Turns out it was the guy across the street burning some leaves.

    That you know of. A lot of DUI accidents could very easily have included folks who indulged in drinking AND smoking.

    They just don't document pot deaths. Fucking pot heads stopping at stop signs and waiting for them to turn green.

    Oh that is rich. I will put that one right up there with a local sheriff who after 9/11 was asked what he was going to do differently about security at the local college football stadium they take care of. He said "nothing much, my deputies pretty much know a terrorist when they see one".

    Moron. There is a fucking test. Nanograms of active THC per mL of blood:

    http://m.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-N...-arrested-for-DUI-A-record-high-in-Washington

    How the hell is this any different than alcohol? Get pulled over, cop suspects impairment, conducts field sobriety test, fail do a) blood alcohol test b) do a blood active THC test.

    Do you like being ignorant?

    Even Dayton can use misinterpreted sources for hisbrand of stupidity, but you are one that just like to :lalala: no matter how badly you're owned.

    Yaaay for constitutional rights in Alabama. Pull over whomever you like and stick a needle in their arm because you are having a bad day. You must feel so empowered.

    Yanno, even baba had moments of wisdom. :jayzus:

    ....what DID happen to him? I remember him saying Huntington's disease ran in his family and eventually impairs motor skills. I hope to God that's not why he no longer posts. :(

    Not in Oklahoma. Unless the cop is trained in Drug field sobriety tests they can't do anything about someone they think is high. :shrug: I had a cop telling me this Thursday night. The thing is to get certified to do this kind of test its a lot of money and time so there are only about 30 cops over the state of Oklahoma who have the training to do the tests. I'm not actually sure if they let someone who seems impaired back behind the wheel if they can't get one of the cops down to do the test.

    It will likely have the opposite effect. Right now we have so many people who are kept out of the winner's circle of life by being thrown in jail for minor possession crimes.

    Seriously, prisons should be for the worst of the worst offenders--rapists and serial murderers and others that can't be reintergrate into society. Pot use harms no one.

    No way. They will continue to be unmotivated, which is fine. Life has winners and losers. You smoke anything, you're a loser.
