And people are still idiots.

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if there is an ATF sting coming up. Edit:  UAF does have a point.

As a whole, so long as it is away from me (allergic) I don't give a crap so long as there are standards for intoxication, etc.

Ha!  Maybe tomorrow they will be smarter...we can always hope

They just keep updating the software and introducing new bugs.

Dealers in Colorado have been caught taking state issued marijuana cards as second form of ID

Tell me you aren't serious

And yeah I guess you have a point.

ATF stance is that it is not legal at the federal level. Being a medical/"legal recreational" user is an instant disqualifier.

The really scary part is it's a felony to lie on the form. So state legal user answering no on form turns you into a federal felon.

LOL!  I install home internet systems and I've already had customers who's residence was flooded with the stuff.  Apartment managers weren't too happy at one location because drug use is against the rules of the lease.  There's going to be a lot of that going around.  One of the managers mentioned a guy who he told was an idiot because he gets randomly tested but he thought since it's legal now, it didn't matter.  That's not how his employer and their insurer are going to think of it...


Sooner or later I am going to get a contact high from people smoking it while I'm inside installing...


 

ETA:  Since I wasn't smoking at the time I filled out the 4473's, does that mean I'm good to smoke since I didn't lie?  Then I could theoretically quit before purchasing a new firearms so I'm not lying when filling out the form.  Then decide to bring the new habit back after?


Even my badge says I am background checked and drug tested.


Employers may have to cut back on harsh testing or they may find their job pool severely reduced up here.  It's already small enough as it is.

Pot heads are not known for being the brightest lamps in the grow room.

I'll play the devil's advocate. I personally do not smoke the broccoli, but why should I condemn anyone that chooses to? I have several friends and know many more with professional high paying jobs that partake in recreational MJ. These aren't delinquent idiots who sit around all day talking about getting high. They are skilled individuals with families, mortgages, cars, boats, and like to hunt, fish, camp, etc. To me, these are people who enjoy liberty and freedom. I can't help but compare those who choose to judge people for smoking MJ, to the fudds who only think bolt action hunting rifles should be legal because they don't think people need ar15's. I know I know, it's not the same thing. The 2nd Amendment. I get it. But do you get what I'm saying? Sure it may not be my thing, but if it's not hurting or bothering me, why should I care?

Answered my own question, ATF 4473 form asks if you are an unlawful user or addicted to, so if you are smoking legally I guess you are good to go.






On another note,  I see Mr. Rock and Roll is out of business, or at least the S. Cushman location, replaced by an Italian restaurant.  It seems like a critical opportunity for the right entrepreneurs to start pot and paraphernalia shops.  Will we have Amsterdam style coffee houses in the future?






Unless they already have, they should make hemp products legal to produce in the USA again.  It's an awesome textile.  So awesome that back in the day Dupont strove to illegalize hemp because it competed with their cotton sales and you know the rest of the story.  Best hand creme I've ever used was hemp oil based.  We shouldn't be forced to import hemp products anymore.




 

I haven't done programming since high school because I hated finding bugs that much  I can't even imagine how much it must suck to create a new environment from scratch.  




Never went in there, but I always thought they were a shady as hell chinese to go place.

The college road location has been there well over a decade, nothing new.

That is incorrect. The ATF considers someone to be an illegal user even if allowed by state law. Even further they consider possession of a card to be an admission that you are a user, even though theoretically you could be in possession of a card and not use.

One thing that alot of people forget is that employers can still have a zero policy on MJ, Most employers will drug test after workmans comp , or after vehicle accidents. They can legally do it
all day long, you fail you get fired . Since there is no way to prove if you were impaired at the time of the test of it was just residual . What I find staggering is that teachers don't need UA's , neither do doctors .

Banner Health at least did full spectrum UA's for damn near everything when I was working there.  Then again, considering the docs got treated like gods I wouldn't be surprised if  it got 'fudged.'

I can tell you providence is full of docs that do drugs , ex wife worked there said there was lots of shady stuff , which shocked the crap outta me
