Pot is going to effect someone's judgment and decision making ability..no doubt about that. Stoned and in possession of a loaded firearm is trouble no matter how you slice it.

Smoke pot and the guns are put away and unloaded there should be no problems from a sane person. I always have a loaded gun on me or close by so I do not drink or drug.....I just stay as pure as the newly fallen snow 24/7/365.

I suspect it's because of the DEALING.........not the using !

Meaning they are robbing each other for weed. I cant believe this is the only region where its happening so often. By gun violence im talking not only shooting, but robbery, pistol whippings ect. All young people robbing other young people for their weed, money, or their Jordans. We had a pretty sweet rolling shootout a couple yesrs ago between two vehicles full of dudes down one of the busiest streets middle of the afternoon. Car getting chased was full of the other cars weed. Little by little states are getting medical MJ legalized- more states have it than dont. To assume these states are actually monitoring their dispensaries would be a mistake. California just recently legalized recreational and have had medical for awhile, and has been a major source state for some time. Also, cartel and other criminal organizations are heavily involved, so that brings some unsavory people in as well. Just some food for thought for people that say “its just weed”.

Sort of like alcohol prohibition back in the day?

x10000 that's a mighty slippery slope.

Well, in this instance not quite true. Pot is Federally illegal, that's the federal law. Nothing has changed on that end.

But is the Federal law legal under the Constitution ? That's the question that needs to be addressed but our legislators won't touch it because somebody's want it to stay that way.

Those somebody's are probably the privatized prison system,the DEA,big pharma,DuPont or any other synthetic fiber corporation,Budweisier,etc.

Sounds like California is saying they don't care about the feds .

Can you own a gun if you are taking any other kind of medication? I'm talking from Blood Pressure to Schizophrenia.

Maybe not for long if something ends up in court and the case set's a precedence.

OMG please go take your meds !

lol...I'm about to pop a can of cold med's here in a minute.

You know it's true.

I agree

So what your saying is if they could buy it legally they wouldn't be robbing each other for it ? So in otherwords the law is creating criminals where there were none before. Got it.

I know better than to post on these reefer madness threads. You cant reason with folks that are brainwashed by the government to think its ok to take away individual freedoms, as long as its not their drug of choice,its the same as arguing with a liberal.

I don't think it will be a issue long as fast as the country is going legal for recreational.

Refer Madness?

lol

Marijuana is marijuana regardless of what word is placed in front of it. It's an addictive drug whose alleged medical benefits are highly questionable at best fabricated research results notwithstanding.

Not what im saying exactly. Short answer is that until the states legalizing it are willing to sell it so cheap there isnt a black market, then yes bringing it to your state “medically” will bring criminals with it. We dont have medical or recreational here but the demand has risen dramatically over the past few years, partially because of a rise in population and partially due to that much more accessibility. If we pass medical laws here bringing our own dispensaries in, we will still have people driving to CO because its so cheap but it will also be starting to go out the back door here. More people start to use when u flood an area with something. The more people use the more acceptable it is for others to start and so on. If i illegally obtain a pound and sell 10 dollar grams compared to a legal shop selling 25 dollar grams and more and more start using- im gonna be rich. And people will rob me. No one knew there was a heroin problem here til dirtbags from chicago started bringing it here in decent weight. Now young people od-ing fairly regularly.
