If weed was legal I could have a nice patch in the back yard and save thousands every year.

A lot of it ties to insurance and accidents. If you are high on certain things they have no valid way of testing when and at what level they would deem high enough to be at fault. What if someone is high on coke running a forklift and kills someone? Now if you test positive to have used any drug you're responsible and fired. If that happened in a legalized society who would then be at fault? If you want even more astronomical insurance numbers just legalize it and see what happens.

On that note I really don't care one way or the other what someone does as long as it doesn't hurt someone else.

Why does it have to cost so much? they've got saliva test kits now, where any r-tard can swipe the persons mouth and test for a myriad of different drugs for around $5 a kit. You'd probly need to increase the salaries of the gov workers handling the distribution of funds if they take on the new testing responsibilities but not by much... It's more then plausible, here's hoping

Not buying it, alcohol is legal and people get tested in necessery cases, all other drugs can be tested and a zero tolerance can be the law as far as cocaine and other drugs are concerned

You can test the level of intoxication with alcohol. They would somehow need to have drug testing with that same frame in mind, which is the problem.

What I was suggesting is that if we can not determine the level of intoxication in case of other drugs, we can have a zero policy meaning any level would be unacceptable if for instance you are involved in a car accident or so forth, do it and be responsible for consequences. Fact is people are using those drugs as it is today and any positive level detected puts them at fault anyway.

Some fukface I know totalled his car and kept telling everyone, "I wasn't on anything, my tests came back clean..." becuase we all know this kid likes pills... What the idiot didn't know is that the initial testing for his BAC was fine, cause he wasn't drinking. But once you get to the hospital they can see ANYTHING that's in your blood, and you get into whatever trouble from there. It would be just as easy for employers to "control" the substances their employees are on, "while at work" by enforcing such rules and punishments alike...

why is weed not legalized? easy question.. tobbaccy, and the pharm. Imagine what would happen to big Tob if you could get a better high for the same price? WITHOUT the addictive effects? imagine what would happen to big phahrmacy if people started to notice reduced pain from ailments such as Cerebral Palsy etc. it would be insane

these two industries probably bankroll half of us politicians, left and right
