I'm really impartial to the whole pot debate, but I just loved reading this. How rediculous! "I'm really angry doctor, can you prescribe me some pot? I don't want to het high like those kids, I need medication for my anger."

http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/national/2008/01/30/Marijuana.Vending.Machine/

Quote:
A man who said he has been authorized to use medical marijuana as part of his anger management therapy said the vending machine's security measures would at least protect against illicit use of the drug.

"You have kids that want to get high and that's not what marijuana is for," Robert Miko said. "It's to medicate."

Does it get you out of a positive drug test if you have a prescription?

Depends on the company and the objectives of the policy. For WalMart? Maybe. For pilots at United Airlines? Much more doubtful.

Speaking of which, I just read this article a few days ago. Im not sure if thats everywhere but the article is about a California Legislation on that exact question cheezydemon.
 
man, they need to just legalize it and tax it.

then take that tax money and use it to subsidize farms that grow hops, so we never have this effing shortage again!

(oh yeah, and fund schools, fight the war on real drugs, blah blah)
 
Just choose to work somewhere that doesn't implement mandatory testing. That's what I do. The last time I consented to a pee test was before I was 18, and working for an auto parts store. Since then, that's part of my criteria. Don't care how much they're offering me, I still got me morals.

Of course, not everyone can do this. Truckers still have to take a DOT test. I understand that. But if I were in that situation, since I value my position on this issue, I would find another industry that doesn't fall under DOT. Anyways. Slightly OT, sorry.

I saw that article, those things are nifty! It's too bad that every time we make progress, though, the DEA has to come snorting in to see who/which dispensary they can cite this time. Oh well.
 
Why don't you just slam some Meth?:p:p It's supposed to be out of your system in 2-3 days.

We have a very strict drug policy at my office: anybody with drugs has to share! :D

Personally, I seldom dabble in anything stronger than whiskey.

Not a bad idea, since the feds seem to think pot's just as bad as meth?????


Now Jenkem, ass the drug of the future!
 
mmmm, fermented poo...

I have an infected stout, will that do the same thing? Right color, right smell, not sure about the taste...
 
too late BraeHaus, they already introduecd a bill here to ban salvia. bummer, damn nebraska conservatives.... ban everything fun in life....

back to my keg of hobgoblin. i am celebrating a job offer tonite. too bad i have to work early tomorrow. yay advil. cheers mate.
 
what is it with weed being as bad as meth, anyway?

pot doesn't make you steal (maybe from ur parents, but still...you're not robbing liquor stores)
pot doesn't make you fight (dude, you gonna pass that or am i gonna have to grab a beer?)
pot doesn't make you stupid (ok, it does, but still...doesn't the gov't want that?)

i really don't get it. most of the busts are for pot, too. i think it's just easier to pick up the pothead down the street instead of finding the basement meth lab. that's it. they're just lazy

oh wellz. legal "enough" in california anyway. there is hardly a day goes by i don't smell weed on the streets....or is that damn skunk back again?

what's that new stuff...

salvia? (sal-vee-ah)

Tried it.
Wikipedia says this about it...
Wikipedia said:


Psychedelic experiences are necessarily somewhat subjective and variations in reported effects are to be expected. Aside from individual reported experiences there has been a limited amount of published work summarising the effects. D.M. Turner’s book “Salvinorin—The Psychedelic Essence of Salvia Divinorum” quotes Daniel Siebert’s summarisation, mentioning that the effects may include:

  • Uncontrollable laughter.
  • Past memories, such a revisiting places from childhood memory.
  • Sensations of motion, or being pulled or twisted by forces.
  • Visions of membranes, films and various two-dimensional surfaces.
  • Merging with or becoming objects (for example a Ferris wheel).
  • Overlapping realities, such as the perception of being in several locations at once

The uncontrollable laughter, yes.
Senations of motions, yes.
I didn't feel the other alleged effects.
It tasted like burnt tire rubber though.:p

i like the weed commercials now about the kids that won't leave their front porch b/c they are too high to do anything... reminds me of college, all we ever did was play video games, eat count chocula and make fun of our one roomie who only hooked up with busted chicks.

Now you KNOW the only way someone could think of that is if it actually happened to the wikipedia editor.


"whoa dude check me out I'm a Ferris wheel wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

yep, salvia divinorum (sp?)

I watched someone take this. I'll pass....and I've even tried a couple other hallucinogens...no way will I take salvia.

did anyone notice my Jenkem Brother's Brewing avatar I had up a few weeks ago? ;)
 
If i evert stumbled across some Peyote in the desert I would try it in a heart beat....As long as I had a safe house to do it at, and some supervision.:D
