Ok first of all I was not under the influence when I got pulled over and had 0.00 alcohol in my system. Due top a technicality my lawyer found I am gonna have the charge completely wiped from my record. I am curious as to if I can sue the cop for a illegal search and seizure. When he pulled me over he opened the wood said something about my tags then asked if I was smoking pot. Told him I did 4 hours ago 1 hour before I got in the car. He told me Can I please search your vehicle because I am going to anyways. I was wondering if I can sue him cause all my friend a few law people I know told me that is a illegal search and seizure because of how he worded the question. I even passed the sobriety test all of them and then he told me I was going to jail because my eyes looked messed up. I really want to know if I have a case I feel the whole pullover was a joke and it shouldn’t cause me money cause some cop was a dick. AKA my license plate tags were fine that’s why my lawyer said the whole case will get thrown out I just wanna know if I can press charges against the cop…I rather him pay for my lawyer than me.

my probation told me that they don’t test for anything but alcohol how am i supposed to believe them? i need so advice

i just wanna know if they will test for drugs along with alcohol and whether or not marijuana will show up if i have smoked it in the past 30 days but not that night or day

I had a DUI, 2 noise ordinance violations, 2 Alcohol intox violations, and a marijuana possession in a state I don’t and have never lived in. Would I ever be able to trade securities?

So why are not pro drink drivers protesting as well.

If a cop sees a car driving all over the place and stops some guy and he looks intoxicated and stinks of alcohol then he can give him a sobriety test.

If a cop sees a car doing the same and stops a guy who has no license, registration, insurance and cant speak english isint that reasonable suspicon that he is an illegal.

I would vote YES and campaign as heavily as I could. Here’s my reasoning. There are drugs out there whose side effects can include psychotic behavior or other dangerous behavior as far as the public is concerned. Marijuana is NOT such a drug. It may, like alcohol, cause some APPROXIMATE danger, if say, someone very high took the wheel, but this is not a proximate cause. An informed adult should have the right NOT to be considered criminal if she or he uses this drug responsibly. There is also NO onus to prove that the drug is harmless. I do not claim that it is, but it is certainly not as damaging to society as alcohol. I am aware that some fools out there are convicted of DUIs in the double digits. Why are we so freaking lenient THERE!!??!! Why are there NO mandatory minimums for the SECOND DUI? The criminalization of many drugs was born out of historical prejudice, and the continued criminal status of marijuana is maintained to some degree for the same reason. Seriously folks, when are we gonna grow up here?
I would even suggest a compromise for the meanwhile. Let’s say if you insist on maintaining possession/use as a criminal offense, what say you to making it a class c misdemeanor you would get ticketed for, but never arrested for?
I Love you, two things. First, NOBODY has EVER died of a marijuana overdose. EVER. Second, you would also then have to support criminalizing any addictive substance or behavior.
I must also point out, obviously, that there would be an age restriction. I DO NOT support letting kids use it legally.

How bad is Marijuana Really?

As compared to most drugs, Pot is the least dangerous. Pot is not an addictive drug. For those who claim it is, anything is theoretically addictive, and there are some people who can become addicted to spring water. So to put it in perspective, Pot is less addictive than coffee. I have become addicted to coffee myself and have broken the habit. You get mild headaches for a few days. I have never had any symptoms for withdrawal from Pot.

Pot will cause some short term memory loss. It’s harder to remember a 10 digit phone number. Beer causes the same memory loss as Pot. The effect is temporary and wears off completely. Pot has no long term affects on the brain. I have been smoking Pot for the last 25 years and I still test as a genius on IQ tests. My mental abilities have increased over the years.

Pot will give you the Munchies. You may eat more than you would normally. If you are on a diet, you should factor this in when deciding to smoke Pot. It could cause you to gain weight.

Pot is a sexual stimulant. It removes a persons inhibitions. You are more likely to agree to have sex when you are stoned. You are also more likely to not use birth control while stoned. Sometimes people get others stoned to try to get them to have sex when they normally wouldn’t. If you are getting stoned with members of the opposite sex, be aware of this and realize that it can have this effect on you.

Driving on pot. The same with alcohol, someone 21 or over could drink a beer and not get arrested for a DUI, It should be the same with weed, you cant have more than one hit to make it an illegal DUI plus drinking one beer is 75% more dangerous than taking one hit. They could make it so you cant get stoned out of your mind and drive.

SMOKE ALL DAY EVERYDAY! LEGALIZE!!

Im seeing a lot of post on this subject. Some good and some bad. Ive done a lot of research on the matter and finding that a lot of us are misinformed the subject. The plant if legalized nationally could cut the budget in a lot of states a lot especially with the prison population. Ive researched the medical benefits on the plant and for some it would help a lot and for others it would do nothing but recreational like beer. In my opinion the drug companies don’t want this herb legal because it does help in many different ways in the medical field. Many would stop taking nasua pills, pain pills, and ect.
This would be a great herb for MS and Fibromialgia patients since pain pills don’t help them at all. This herb in my studies, by talking to those who use and have used in the past, relaxes the mussels and the brain. There is not proof that it kills brain cells. Maybe slows them down while under the influence. I also believe that the herb would help bipolar and some other mental disorders for those who are hi strung to slow them down enough to a almost normal state, so they wouldn’t have to take so many dangerous pills, that damage there liver.
Now for the governments bull on it slows reflexes down enough to hit someone in a car accident. Well my opinion on that is what it is bull. There is no proof on that either. If it was mandated like beer and cigarettes where I don’t think we would have any issues on that. They could only at this time do a road side celebrity test like if you where under the influence of medication. If you fell the test because you cant follow the pin or walk straight then you would get a DUI. I have never heard of anyone running over a child or hitting someone head one on the interstate because if marijuana, but I have with alcohol. These are just my opinions and I want some chatter about what you all think.
to add on the comments on, "how can we tell how hi or how can we tell if someone is hi at the time they are driving" Simple "how can we tell if someone is taking prescription drugs at the time they are driving" If they cant pass a simple on the road celebrity test then they are under the influence." those laws are already in effect. At least in Missouri they are. I take a lot of meds. but wait two hours before I drive how ever I don’t take narcotics. They don’t help my condition at all. I do take a mild low does muscle relaxer though, which could get me a DUI if I where to drive with in a two hour period. So I either don’t drive or I make my husband drive. My state is DUI happy with perception drugs. So yes there’s ways they already that they can tell.

okay so my friend and i were in a car accident at 2:40am. i was at the back and my friend was driving. i didnt know how much she had to drink but everyone said she was fine.
so we were on our way home and i yelled to turn left and then she was about to change lanes and i guess she didn’t do a shoulder check, the car beside us hit her side.

moments later the cops asked if we drank. we both said yes. we admitted to drinking but she stopped drinking around 9-930 she said.
she has no criminal record, her history is clean.
The cops said theyre not gonna give her a ticket. but they did take her license away and towed her car for 24hours

WILL SHE GO TO COURT???? JAILL????? pleaaassee dont comment if ur just

going to say she should. whats the worse that can happen??? I LIVE IN British Columbia,
CANADA

since the cop said theyre not giving her a ticket… is she getting any tickets at all? would this be a DUI charge? helppp pleasee
since we admitted to drinking, she as the driver took a breathalyzer test.
she scored "warn" or 0.05 which is BELOW the fail. for class 5 drivers fail is 0.08 and above. but SHE IS A CLASS 7 (new driver) which means shes not even supposed to have ANY alcohol in her system..

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.
