30 days for weed
you can kill people for America at age 18 but need to be 21 to buy a beer |
|
California NORML says up to 100 days for regular users.

I was a daily user for 5 years
Stopped smoking, tested daily, tested clean in 28 days. The daily test was from the dollar store. Once I passed that, I used an expensive test from the drug store and it was clean as well. This test was the same one the local legal system uses. Maybe a gcms test would find it, but no one uses them except to disprove a false positive. |
|
Not ever having been a member of that particular sub-culture, I've no idea.
But I'd expect an organization devoted to promoting marijuana use would be disinclined to inaccurately advise their followers (guppies?) of the efficacy of tests. YMMV. |
|
I'm going to regret this
They aren't devoted to promoting marijuana use. They're devoted to promoting the reform of marijuana laws. It's kind of in the name. -- Drew |
|
I shouldn't bite, but WTH?
What is the purpose of changing the law if not to re-classify use as normative? Is not seeking to re-classify forbidden behavior as acceptable behavior promoting the behavior? Or at the very least, promoting the acceptability of the behavior? IMO, you're splitting hairs. |
|
The behavior is normative for a substantial portion of the population
Their goal is to keep themselves from going to jail. It has nothing to do with promoting the activity to others. They don't sell anything, they no profit motive, and if they are successful, they cease to exist. |
|
Anything not prohibited is mandatory?
-- Drew |
|
Anything not prohibited is acceptable. FIFY.
|
|
"permit" != "promote"
-- Drew |
|
Unless what you're permitting had previously been banned.

Suppose you are standing in a hole
You have a shovel. You could be shoveling more dirt out of the hole, you could be shoveling dirt back into the hole, or you could just be standing there leaning on the shovel. If you are shoveling dirt out of the hole and then stop, are you now filling the hole back in? -- Drew |
|
Anything prohibited is acceptable FIFY. anything prohibited is irrational fear of the ruling class
that the peasants will learn than doing what the autocrats do is not harmful you can kill people for America at age 18 but need to be 21 to buy a beer |
|
Hmmm. Irrational fear?

Headline: "Pot Edibles Safer Than Taking Selfies" ;-)
Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Another headline: First two deaths confirmed.
“To our knowledge, these are the first cases of suspected fatal cannabis intoxications where full post-mortem investigations… were carried out,” researchers said in the study, published in Forensic Science International this month. “After exclusion of other causes of death we assume that the young men experienced fatal cardiovascular complications evoked by smoking cannabis.” http://time.com/10372/marijuana-deaths-german-study/ The closer you look, the worse it gets. |
|
My point being it's a useless statistic
Compare it to other things and then make a determination about how dangerous it may be. Everything is dangerous. How many people die choking on chicken bones vs. eating a pot brownie, per 1000 instances of use? You need proper relative rates before you can say "oh god its so dangerous halp the poor peeples". Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

That's not my objection.
My objection is to the HUGE crowd of "Pot never killed anyone" propagandists. See one-liner below. |

Alcohol responsible for 1 in 7 deaths among CO adults
http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/06/29/alcohol-responsible-for-1-in-7- deaths-among-co-adults/11699461/ -- Drew |
|
In other news: Smoking never killed anyone. Nobody ever died from an overdose of cigarettes.
|
|
stating a fact doesnt help. If you quit smoking at 14yo and died at 97, it was from tobacco

|
BBC: Lancet - 1/3 of young men in China will die from smoking if they don't quit.
BBC News: A new study has warned that a third of all men currently under the age of 20 in China will eventually die prematurely if they do not give up smoking. FWIW. Cheers, Scott. |

I bet you the Party owns the tobacco farms.
Not much motivation to cut their income from being nicotine pushers. But, the taxes need to be cranked up to cover the medical care. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

Wrong

Fail.

|
She doesn't count?
-- Drew |
|
She didn't die from smoking cigarettes, did she?
Besides that, if her asthma was triggered by smoke, it's exceedingly unlikely that the origin of the smoke made any difference. |
|
Your examples ...
Self-inflicted gunshot. Jump from a balcony. Murder. None of them died from smoking marijuana. Hell, the third one it's not even the the dead guy who was smoking, and he was mixing pot with prescription meds. -- Drew |
|
Plus, you can die from eating nicotine
Some guy in the UK committed suicide with vape refills, as a matter of fact. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |
|
however it works well on hemmoroids
you can kill people for America at age 18 but need to be 21 to buy a beer |
|
Sounds about as safe as an alcohol enema.

works better than anything else on the market
copenhagen or redman works best. you can kill people for America at age 18 but need to be 21 to buy a beer |

You certainly can..
It's right up there with the most pestiferous alkaloids (in my ancient Manual of Pharmacology.) A drop or two of the pure substance--applied to a mucous membrane--was said (elsewhere) to be fatal to a med. dog sized creature. But the usually quite dilute 'vape'-grade stuff, and via stomach? sounds like a way to go gradually and painfully. aka Dumb. Jeez ... go out super-calmly: just OD on diacetyl-morphine aka heroin. People won't even do a little chem homework on what to use for your very-last dose of anything. Be lazy/so suffer. |
