Wow! Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana.
We still have states that haven't legalized it for medical use. I'm amazed that it passed for recreational use.
The Colorado measure states adults over 21 can possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, or six marijuana plants, for personal use. Opponents have said it will make the state a haven for drug tourists.
The measure in Washington State, Initiative 502, will legalize and regulate the production, possession and distribution of marijuana for residents age 21 and older.
Well, if you live in Colorado or Washington, you might find some interesting new items in your storage units.
How do you get a one-armed stoner out of a tree? Wave. :P
-
Of course recreational use is still illegal nationwide under federal law.
-
Yeah, but it's pretty clear that the Feds won't interfere under normal circumstances. Just look at Mendocino County.
-
It's kind of exciting. And Colorado is brilliant for doing it - they needed money, they found a way to get it. Their economy problems are gone now! As a die-hard non drug user, I wish all the other states would follow suit. Seriously, pot is no worse than Alcohol. I have a feeling that pretty soon, the FDA is going to move Marijuana onto the list of allowed substances (at least for medical use), so the federal issue would become somewhat moot at that point.

Yes, but the feds have their hands full with misuse of priority mail boxes ! ;D
-
Is there really a lot of things going on with misuse of priority mail boxes or was that a joke? Normally, I'd know it was a joke, but it seems like lately a lot of things that should be jokes are actually true.

I think these two states are going to see a slight population increase over the next year or so.
Honey, pack your bags...we're moving to the Rockies! 8)
All kidding aside, I don't smoke either but I'm close with someone who uses it medicinally as well as recreationally. It is a miracle drug for her and I support her 100%.
I also agree, alcohol is legal and marijuana causes fewer problems than alcohol. That reminds me of a joke.
What's the difference between a drunk and a pot head at a stop sign?
The drunk runs it and the pot head waits for it to turn green.

Along with lower test scores.

You never know, they could have "higher" test scores. :P
-
Now that it will be legal here, I might think about taking it up........maybe if I smoke a bowl before the auction, all the idiots and high prices won't bother me as much...........hmmmmmmmm......
-

Wouldn't it be hypocritical to be calling the prices high?

If you smoked pot while buying storage units, you would never get anything done. 48 hours after you bought the unit, the storage facility manager would raise the door on the storage unit only to find you napping on an old dusty sofa with a bag of Cheetos on your chest. :D

Mmmmmmmmmm......Cheeto's! ;D

That's an interesting point.
"testing proceedures after a workplace accident can't detect the difference between 1 hour since use and one week."
The Answer: Technology/Testing will have to improve and blood intoxication level limits will have to be established. Up until now, how recently you used marijuana didn't matter. The only thing they needed to know was whether you used it or not. Who knows, the technology may already exist. They probably can test your blood for THC levels and come up with a reasonable estimate.
How are they going to handle employment applications and drug testing for people who smoke marijuana? As long as they aren't high at work, should an employer be able to tell an employee what they can and cannot do when they aren't on the clock? Can an employer still deny employment under federal law and get sued under state law?

I can see the new vehicular laws now:
DWI=Driving While Intoxicated
DWT=Driving While Toking

We have a DUI law.....Driving Under the Influence, that basically covers alcohol and drugs.
One of the contentious points of the law was how they determined the standards for a DUI based on a blood test. If you like to toke it up a lot, you may go over the limit, even though you aren't high.

I know that you guys probably could care less but did anyone else notice that the Google Adsense ads quit showing about the same time we started talking about Marijuana?
I might have to delete this subject if that's what it turns out to be. I'm waiting on an email from Google now.

If you work for the railroad it does not matter how long it was in your system your fired unless you say that you have a problem and go to rehab for 30 days. The second time you are tested hot you are gone and the union is not involved due to a national agreement signed along time ago. The R.R. have a 0 tolerance policy on most properties.

I noticed they disappeared when the header/logo was changed. As to deleting this thread, I would sure hope you're not planning on knuckling into censorship.

How do I find the Adsense generator code? The ad mod that is installed on the forum allows me to cut and past my Adsense code and everything looks correct there.

Just because the state allows the legal us of marijuana doesn't mean as an employee you are no longer subject to the rules and terms of a "drug-free" workplace.
You have agreed in your employment contract to uphold the terms mandated by the employeer/insurance carrier in a "drug-free" workplace.
The state deciding to no longer prosecute you for the use and possession (small amounts) of marijuana is irrelevent.
I can't think of anyone (adult) who doesn't already use marijuana who is going to start now just because it is legal.
Those who already use and work for employees with a drug-free workplace policy probably already have ways to get around the testing.
As far as an on-the-job injury, if you are currently using marijuana at a drug-free workplace you are already rolling the dice as to whether or not you will recieve benefits if hurt on the job. Violating the drug-free workplace policy will exclude you from receiving compensation for an injury.
You are still responsible for your actions whether or not using marijuana is legal. If you are involved in an accident and the investigators determine you where under the influence of a controlled substance, it will be up to you to prove your own innocence.
One of the things that happen everyday is people being found negligent in accidents do to taking what could be considered very common prescription drugs that should have little to no side effects.

Thanks...I've got a pro working on it now. This is what I get for attempting to modify code on my own. From now on, I'm going to stick to storage auction schedules. This kind of reminds me of that Nexium commercial: "You wouldn't want your doctor doing your job, so why are you doing hers?"
-
StorMe, you seem to have a lot of knowledge about computers/coding. Is that your "other job" or just a hobby?

Sorry about hijacking this thread everybody, we got a little off subject there.
So has anyone found a fairly large quantity of marijuana in a storage unit?

Nice try, Sonny Crockett! ;)

No weed. But came across grow equipment. A LOT of grow equipment.
The price went thru the roof!
I had to talk a regular out of biding higher. It was all old **** that really doesn't sell for all that much.
You can get LED lights now that use 10% of the power, low heat and can controll light spectrum from blue to red to promot growth or budding for under $200. Who the heck wants those big a** halide things....
".................
The coming year is going to be interesting on how the fed's react. We already have a huge community that grows medical marijuana, store fronts that accepts "donations" for getting your 'medicine'.
But if the Feds don't back off who is going to put their name down as being a grower or seller for the state?
It would basically be a Federal Bust list! You might as well call the DEA and say you got 1000 plants at such-n-such addy......
-

I prefer Dr. Spencer Reid. The only thing that is still cool that was on Miami Vice is the Chris Craft. Perhaps even the Testarossa and the white sports jacket but that's pushing it! Does anyone even remember Tubs real name?

Just look at Mendocino County. All of the growers there are licensed yet the Feds aren't going after them. They're already under funded. Add a few thousand more growers and the likelihood of them ever messing with you is slim to none.
-
I'm not talking small co-ops. I can legally grow up to 45 plants now. I don't but if I did I wouldn't stress the Feds would bust down my door over it.
Talking when a grower decide to supply state approved stores. Have 100's if not 1000's of plants, or stores with pounds of stock, all listed down with your name, addy, grow location.....easy bust for fed's.
Like I said, gonna be interesting how the state goes about drafting the regulation and how the Feds react to them. If he Feds are cool with it I'd consider growing.

I'm sure Oaksterdam university is booked solid for the distant future.

Well, I just got an email from Google explaining why the ads aren't running. Apparently, in March, a thread about a certain adult item that was found in a storage locker (purple beads) is what is causing the problem. I deleted the thread and sent in an appeal, now I will just have to wait and see if they approve it.

You can thank. Rules for rebels for that one though it seems a long time ago.....March of 2011 if I remember correctly.

Have I ever told you that you have an amazing memory? You're like a human card catalog when it comes to this forum.
Apparently, when I disabled Drew's Adsense code and reinstalled mine, Google sent out a bot to re-crawl the site for inappropriate content. There may be other threads that are violating their policies; however, I'm not going to review 19K posts to find out.

Update:
http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2019168747_sedropot16m.html
The city is refusing to let a storage facility rent to growers. But, all is not lost, they are revisiting their decision - LOL!
;D
I've bought lockers at that facility before.....usually kinda crappy overall. But......maybe my big score is coming up soon!
