this is how it works in holland, and they have the lowest rate of marijuana abuse in the country, as well as the lowest rates of any drug in the world, and has one of the richest economies through taxation and government control over the purities and sale of it, it would work in the US with this kind of idea, wouldn’t it? it’s unavailable to minors under 18, the use of vehicles and so on is illegal still under use of it, for instance considered the same as a DUI, it’s enforced the same as alcohol for the most part yet is less health impacting than alcohol, and tobacco as found by both US and European Union studies over the last 100 years.
i mean the lowest rate of marijuana abuse in the world.

Is it true that you can get arrested for DUI in DC after you have one alcoholic drink and then drive?
I got a DUI in august of 09 and i have been going to my classes and did house arrest and thought everything was going good and checked my record and i have a bench warrent. When i went to court the judge said I was good to go so I left without setting up my fine payment thinking it would come after i finished the classes. (this is the first time i have got in trouble) So now what should I do? help please.
I’m not too familiar with how this works.. and this might not even be the right section. I’m having trouble finding out information on this. I live in PA and the state does not require SR-22 insurance. If anyone has any information on the subject please let me know.
It was expunged months ago by the court.
Because I completed an ARD program. Commuinty service, rehab classes etc. All of which have been paid for including my charges.
My license was suspended due to lack of car insurance and I was granted limited driving privileges. I had to drive outside of the allotted time due to circumstances beyond my control. I was pulled over. What happens next? Will I completely lose my driving privileges? My car? The only information I can find online pertains to those whose license were suspended due to dui, mine was for lack of car insurance.
I was recently sent to jail for a dui. While there, I went into a manic state, so they sent me to a mental hospital. While at the hospital, I was diagnosed as a bipolar-schizophrenic. My question is; can i use this info to get a license for marijuana? The reason I smoke it is cuz it calms me down. I cant sleep without it. They have me on lithium and zyprexa now, but i would much rather just be on medical marijuana. It is safer, and it has less side effects. Is it possible to get a license in my case?
I was stopped for a DUI, but have not yet been convicted since the court process takes forever… Well I would like to buy a new car, and it looks like my insurance company will check my record at that time. I have just checked out my record myself, and it shows that I have had my license suspended for 6 month for DUI, but it does not say that I have been convicted of the DUI. I have reason to believe that the charges will be dropped.
Can they raise my rates or drop me at this point? Without a conviction?

My friend and I (Both San Diego locals) were stopped at the US Border Patrol checkpoint in Yuma, Arizona about 15 days ago. This checkpoint is located on the I-8 eastbound and is staffed by US Border Patrol and Customs agents. I had a small (about 2 to 3 grams), personal amount of Marijuana in my car, and the drug sniffing dogs alerted the agents to my car. They had me pull over and asked if they could search my car. They found the marijuana and 2 small pipe’s in the car. I was honest with the US Border Patrol and Customs agents about the location of the Marijuana in the car and that I had no intent to sell the Marijuana and that it was for person use only. He asked me if I was aware of the No Tolerance law in AZ, to which I responded No, as far as I was aware in California as long as you possessed less then an ounce of Marijuana with no intention to sell, it was a 0 max ticket. He said in AZ, I might as well have been caught with a Brick of Pot, as the law is different in AZ and all Marijuana possession in considered a major felony. They ended up giving my friend and I a ticket for felony possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The agent said that I was not the type of person I was looking for and actually apologized for delaying us for so long (we were at the check point fro close to 3 hours) . There was no DUI and after seizing the stuff and writing it up, they sent me on my way in my car. I have to return to Yuma in a few weeks to appear in court. We both have no prior Police records for anything, including no speeding tickets, etc. I have read that their is a 0 minimum penalty in AZ.
Does anybody know what I am looking at as a penalty? Or has anyone out there been through this in AZ, as the Customs agent informed me that they stop on average 5 to 10 people a day from CA on the same charge. THANKS FOR THE REPLY!!!
