Wow, talk about going on a tangent. I had to go back and re-read what I wrote because a couple of resonses didn't seem to make sense to me (maybe I am still impaired after 4 years of not smoking dope!). Outside of Supercop's Captain America posts, I appreciate the opinions of others. Vent, this is just another one of those topics that we won't agree on. There's been plenty before, probably will be plenty again. I just hope next time everyone has a party down there I can make it so we can debate in person. Its more fun that way (btw, first round is on me next time)!!!!
I still think that there is a comprehension issue here that needs to be addressed. First off, I currently do not indulge in any illegal activity (except maybe the weekly poker game in which I constantly steal money from my friends as I whip their arse!). Hindsight being 20/20, would I go back and do the same knowing what I know today, probably not. My point was and still is that when it does become legal, I do plan on using again, with control and moderation. I will take into account the same due regard as I do with alcohol. Therefore the legality arguement so many are screaming about is null and void. Outside of that, should anyone feel the need to judge whether or not I am impaired, you should ask yourselves a question. Have you ever worked within 8 hours of taking a drink? Or are you responsible enough to ensure that your party activities are timed well outside of work? Better yet, don't answer it because I see more hipocrisy on this forum than I can remotely believe. I can ascertain without a shadow of a doubt that 24 hours is quite sufficent to return to a normal state. The only reason time has even been mentioned in this thread has nothing to do with impairment, it has to do with the fact that currently pot is illegal. So think what you want, again I appreciate feedback amongst peers, but the fact remains that this thread has been blown way out of proportion, mostly courtesy of LE-EMT. Should anyone else have any STATISTICAL EVIDENTIAL PROOF citing scientific validity or sound pathophysiology, then bring it forward. Personal experiences with others are only purely subjective. For those who have communicated with me outside of this dramatic thread, THANK YOU! I knew I wasn't the only one with this state of mind. Although it would have been nice to have your supporting words here in the thread..................................
LE-EMT - I have nothing against law enforcement. You say "do my job for a week". Would 5 years count? Local and Federal levels my friend. I have the upmost respect for the Sheriff's deputy's and Constable's that work with us day in and day out. But around here we have officers with an attribute known as tact. Something you sir need to learn. I went back and read each and every post you have made. You are egotistical, abrasive, and flat out rude. Your "scum" and "heroin junkie" comments don't offend me one bit. I would actually have to be listening to what you are typing. Usually after 2 or three sentences your point is made bery clear and the rest just fizzles into thin air. But I do have concerns about you. You seem like the type that would see me sitting in my house smoking with your super stealth eye sight and then break my door down, guns ablazing in an attempt to arrest me. When in actuality, you could never even get a warrant or charges from the D.A. You seem to be overly agressive and it makes me wonder this.....................If you are so abrasive here on an internet forum, then how are your true "people skills" on the streets. It makes me wonder why you have been stabbed 3 times and shot twice while working. I have close friends who have worked the wards of Houston for 20 plus years and have never gotten a scratch. They know HOW to deal with people. Force and agressiveness isn't always the way to go man...........................Hopefully someday you'll realize it before someone puts that one last bullet into you.
In the meantime, you have said your peace (in a rather eloquent manner I may add). Feel free to contiue if you wish, but I am through wasting my time on you....................
Keep it safe!
