Marijuana's time has come : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 7/4/2014

The ancient Egyptians used medical cannabis extensively four thousand years ago, and the diuretic, antiemetic, antiepileptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects of cannabis were well known in medieval medicine.

Hi Bazz,
I look forward to someone somewhere doing some research to determine at what level cannabinoids impair driving ability.
Once that happens, I think we will find that the 'drug' tests we are using are very sensitive to a level of active ingredients well below the impairment level.
Do you think that might be a possibility - that there is no connection between the impairment of reflexes level and the sensitivity of the test?

DEAR BRIAN..OF BUD..ginger/mate..i been an activist for 20 years
funny'/enough my computers..have a habit of dying[on average 1 per year

i self-taught..myself tO write
so for..a long time..never used capital letters[as somehow/in my ignorance..a button near..the caps often deleted text.but then one day..the board begun shifting keys..from upper-case to lower case..and i end up..with a mess

i then try..to sort/the mess out...but hyper sensitive cursOR..Has its own problems

often for example..i will move/the cursor to edit
begin typing and see/after..the cursor settled..it highlighted and deleted..great chunks of text

further the curer....when moved often delays moving for 5 or 6 seconds[thus i loose the flow..or further the page freezes

in short THIS IS THE LAST..COMPUTER IM EVER BUYING
IF BLOGGING FOR THE LAST HALF..OF MY ACTIVIST CAREER..DONT DO THE JOB STUFF IT[HERE I AM YET AGAIN REPLYING SOME FOOL, UNABLE TO REFUTE WHAT IM SAYING..SO COMPLAINING about the formatting..TO IGNORE WHAT IS SAID..read it or skip it..

im just letting them know..in court 6 may ..im going
TO SPELL IT out..in person..

and then blogging..is over
im so over caring..about anything..even about how
a non/reader..of my words wastes..a post on nuthing..fine..skip the post..sadly i read most/but then im not afraid of facts.

EITHER REVEALING THEM
OR REVEALING THEM..WHO WOULD CONCEAL THEM
WE SHALL KNOW THEM...BY THEIR FRUITS..DONT I KNOW YOU ..BLUEY?

I CAN SMELL THE BOOZE..ON YOUR BREATH
SO WE SHALL JUST SEARCH YOUR CAR..

[OH YOU DONT SEARCH..DRUNKS CARS/..YEAH/RIGHT]..

AAnyhow take a breath mint..refute what i say/not how a computer corrupted/by security agency virus,..allows me to put it

[this jumped..to where is now is
i leave it..as unsaid..

..yeah...''SO WHY SEARCH MINE;;?
because a drunk..would get angry?

BRAVE BOYS..PICK ON THE DOPERS..[ANYONE WHO HAS TRIED IT KNOWS IT DONT DO NUTHIN..BUT EXPAND YOUR ARTERIES..AND MAKE YA EYES RED/AND SLEEPY..NOT BETTER BOOZE..THAT MAKES ANGER.

i hate the caps/more than anyone
but already too much anger..so i ignore it.
till im reminded of it/and yet again need to defend..not to topic/but formatting...FOR PEOPLE/NOT READING IT ANYHOW

LOL

Hi on the beach, thanks for the abstract. Has this been replicated somewhere else or is this the only study? Was this peer-reviewed? Are you suggesting total abstinence from cannabis if driving for the next month or are you proposing a measurable level, like prescribed blood alcohol, above which we are not permitted to go?

Well that link from OTB was interesting. The effect may follow a half
life curve so if detectable for a month then 2 weeks is probably a
dangerous period.
As no one would leave the car in the garage for two weeks and they would
indulge at least once a week their drivers licence should be cancelled.

I don't see room to do anything else.
We are talking about the life of others, so that is it.
