I get high by just driving my motor home into the mountains but really don't care what others do as long as they don't drive..

Ditto for drunk drivers.


In some countries your first DUI is your last, as you license is permanently revoked.



In Canada, any DUI is a felony. That's why some travelers find it impossible to legally enter Canada.


How about 20 years for everything? More taxpayer funding of incarceration, funneled to corporately owned and operated prisons.

Yeah, it’s hard to believe that in most states, it takes three DUIs before it’s a felony. That’s just flat wrong...If I were king for a day, 1st offense is felony with minimum 1 year driving suspension.

The whole trip about mj was created by the cotton industry eighty years ago. They were scared hemp was going to replace the need for cotton. Big business at its finest as usual. Mj has many medicinal purposes. My friend has MS, and she would probably be dead if she didnt get an appetite from smoking mj. It is no different than having a few drinks responsibly. I seldom touch it myself, but have many friends who have smoked it for fifty years. All are professional people, and as far as I know, none have turned into herion addicts. If someone is going to become a herion addict, I dont think it matters what they were doing before. 99.9999999 percent of pot smokers, dont become herion addicts. jmho

Some other background info follows. While I don't doubt the cotton industry benefited from the ban they were not the only industry to do so.

In the book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", author Jack Herer pointed the finger at chemical behemoth Du Pont and their patent on a process to convert *wood fiber* into Rayon. According to the book, the DuPont family was very friendly with Harry J. Anslinger (who ran the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs), who was a good buddy of newspaper owner/publisher William Randolph Hearst. DuPont had contracted with what is now Georgia-Pacific and other foresters to buy decades worth of wood pulp in order to meet anticipated demand for Rayon. When industrial hemp was found to be a suitable feed stock, DuPont found out their patent only covered wood pulp; hemp was considerably cheaper, being faster to grow, requiring less water, etc. Hemp was a major threat to DuPont's Rayon division and the base patent on the process to make it.

So DuPont lobbied Anslinger to get Congress to change the federal laws and Anslinger went back to his buddy Hearst, who had previously helped get cocaine listed as prescription only. Hearst helped in that effort by running stories in his newspapers about "cocaine-crazed (insert listing of racial minorities)" raping white women, or taking multiple rounds from a police revolver without dropping. These stories were important in creating the "public opinion" for Congress to justify their votes. For hemp, Hearst and Ansligner cranked up the fake news machine and pretty much just substituted the word "marijuana" for "cocaine." Still steeped in racism, it proved to be an easy task. Note that the word "marijuana" was put into common use by Hearst - the "drug" needed a name and the previous words "cannabis" and "hemp" were too neutral.

That's how we got to where we are today, at the Federal level anyway.

One of the entertainment trucking companies I have worked with had a driver with a 12 year old DUI (and this was 20 years ago so things have apparently changed).


The driver was deported back to the USA and the company had to hire a Canadian driver until a replacement from the USA could sent to Canada.


Perhaps Canada decided it was better to get a few hundred US$ than to keep out drivers. Attempting to conceal ones recorded history is probably the biggest negative factor at points of entry.

Best luck and safe travels

My wife has NOT tested positive yet at her pain specialist. And she has to get tested regularly. And uses CBD daily.

If you have dui in Canada you are not allowed in the states.

It's called dope as a pejorative, and to reinforce the myths surrounding the drug and it's users. It's likely true that most junkies smoked pot at some time. It's almost certainly true that all alcoholics drank beer at some time. So what? Causation and correlation are not the same thing. The vast majority of drinkers and MJ users will never experience the problems you allude to in your post. To imply that they will shows a lack of knowledge and the curiosity to truly investigate the issue to gain that knowledge. It is much easier to just recite the disproved stereotypes of the past. The good news is that the generational shift that is occurring daily will allow society to adapt and advance in a relatively short time frame.
My biggest hope for the future is that, when MJ is finally legalized, the State and Federal Governments will display the honor and ethics to expunge all the criminal records of the people they incarcerated in this horrible war that they have been waging on the citizenry for decades. It is truly tragic what this country has cost itself and so many good people.
The simple solution is, if it is not your thing don't do it. The solution is not to force your views on others under threat of prison.

Since I’m allergic to coconut (which is the oil often used to make CBD oil) I buy CBD in crystal form. It has less than 1% THC in it. Drug tests are looking for TCH - the chemical in cannibis that makes you high. I mix it with Nutella.

Most websites selling CBD products will post the laboratory tests, done by an independent lab, for each batch produced. What other industry goes to such lengths to assure the quality of the products they sell?

Once marijuana is legalized in every state there shouldn’t be any being smuggled across our southern border. Instead of sending money to the Mexican drug cartels, legalizing recreational cannibis is funding American jobs and adding tax revenues to the states. I'm surprised the federal government isn’t moving faster to make it legal and add a federal tax.

Workcampers are actively sought in Oregon to work the harvest season.

Okay. What i would like to know- how are the government coffers fairing where it's been legalized. Allentown, Pa. is in the process of raising the property tax rate by 22 to 26%. Medical is legal in Pa. There wasn't supposed to be flower sold in the shops. But i've heard otherwise. Just too expensive and no supply. So, are the states with legal in better financial shape? Here in Pa. it's cheaper to buy from pushers. Duh.

Then there's the "synthetic MJ" which is way worse.
Headline- couldn't edit it. Please substitute "Anslinger" for Angstadt. Jeff Sessions is gone too.
