LiberalDonaldTrump Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Big step to full legalization Attorney general declares no more arrests for simple marijuana possession until September so why would they decriminalize it for only 2 months, well because that gives the state time to write new guidelines for legalization https://www.nj.com/marijuana/2018/07/nj_just_effectively_decriminalized_weed_possession.html#incart_2box_nj-homepage-featured ayyyyyy Phil Murphy doing big things 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is a horrible decision esp if you cant get employers to get on board with it which means more people fail drug tests and are unemployed. There is absolutely nothing that the Democrats do that is right I'm convinced. What is so hard to follow....do stupid shit like smoke weed you go to jail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand your issue with the employers. If they make it legal I don’t think employers are going to penalize employees who have weed in their system during a drug test (many companies don’t even test for marijuana anymore - my firm has revised many of our clients policies to reflect this). And just like you can’t be drunk at work (and booze is legal), you can’t be high at work for a variety of safety, cognitive/performance, and other issues. At this point weed is one of those things that’s illegal because it’s illegal. There’s no moral, public safety or health reason (admittedly I am not a doctor so could be wrong) that I see as justification for keeping it as a criminal substance. Tax it, regulate it, and make some money off of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Honestly weed should just have the same laws as alcohol. 21 to buy. You cant drive while high. No walking around in public with it. I was in Colorado and was so tripped out seeing the dispensaries. I went in one and got a candy bar. Lol. I haven't smoked in 11 years. I felt like Fear and Loathing in Denver 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a waste of money and makes no sense. And the cost has dropped to where the black market is no longer the best place to get it. Although I still do bc great deals are great deals.

Until then these states essentially legalize it/their citizens use it at their own risk. I get why companies still test for it, but as you say it’s a waste of resources.

Well isn’t that the point? By making it legal and allowing BigAg (who will inevitably get in on it) to price it lower the cartels won’t have a leg to stand on? I agree as to the DUI issue. One of the big things in NJ is police departments saying there is no “breathalyzer” for weed. How do you test to see if a driver is high? What’s “legally high”? These need to be worked out I totally agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
