so any guess on how long til the feds raid the pot shops?

[TAB]

I am going to say about 3 weeks or until some jack ass makes a huge political statement.   .  all of the statistics for duis and work place accidents are pretty damn scary.  Osha ( which is a 4 letter word in my book, but don't tend to pad numbers)  just put out the accident records for 2011.  79% of those envoled in  work place accidents  that resulted in death or sevre bodly injury( unable to work for 6 or more months do to it)   test + for pot.    23% of all reports the people tested +( i wonder how many were not even tested.)  to me thats pretty damn scary.   it also makes me glad i activly drug tested employees.  Never had one  come up dirty, but had tones not make the preemployment check.

Seeing as they had not raided them prior when they were just selling medical marijuana I have to say they won't as long as they are still getting their take.

It's being taxed at 25% so the Feds will probably have to fight the CSP if they want to raid someplace.  Estimates are $70-80 million per year for the state.  I realize that is just one vacation for the PO(tu)S, but that is pretty meaningful at a state level.

I'm waiting to see how many of these morons lose their jobs because they don't realize that their employer still has rules against it even though it is legal in one state.

i know i would have a meeting the 1st day back, giving them a heads up.  Then fallow it up 30 days later with a drug test, then 90.     piss on the 1st and hair on the second.    i would have been warning them last year as well.   when i was younger i worked for a loss prevent consultant.  Anyways there was a major chain( i won't mention names, but i would be shocked if any one here has not been in one) that had a few stores losing their ass, they could not figure it out. Several mangers, crazy turn over etc etc  The 1st thing that we did was store wide drug tests, half the staff  either refused or tested dirty.  Long story short, the shrink in the store went from ~10% to less the 2 in 6 months and was profitable.  Working for them was best hands on knowledge about how employees can make or break you and how to avoid the bad.  Got to the point where i could guess correctly 9 out of 10 for people that would test dirty.

If TAB thinks Obama will rock the boat of such a loyal party hack in the sunset of his career he is dreaming.
Unless BO needs a distraction from some other fiasco.

Also, TABs OSHA numbers are meaningless since it does not compare how many of the perfectly safe workers would test positive.

the fact that 8 of 10 injured were high takes on a different significance if the uninjured were ALL high.

Here in the Peoples Republic, my company can't test anyone unless they work in an area of the plant that is considered "safety related"!  It's state law...

That means they can't test me unless I'm injured while in the shop.  Anyone on the shop floor, QC inspectors, etc is fair game but I work in engineering so I'm exempt from random drug testing...

There is a big difference between being "high" and having smoked some dope in the last twelve hours.  If you've consumed large amounts of anything and go to work, you're not only putting yourself and others in danger, you're also an asshole...

I know plenty of people that still smoke pot and I'd take a bullet for a few and visa versa...

actually there have been studys that you can have mood changes and reaction diffrence a week later.  I can't speak for drugs, but there was just a study that had drivers that were hung over and drove, they did not do that great.  I can't speak for other industrys, but in construction, if there is a serious injury or death, the entire site is tested. It didn't matter what trade or shift.  The fatality envoled a 6' ladder and a cualking gun.   there is always a huge safety meeting and changes(most of the time just for show.)   all but one of the injurys envoled stupidit and/or intoxication.   the one that was not was a malfunction of a tool,  a blade came apart and  and sent fragents every where.

I call bullshit on that one.
Where is a link to said study?

it was in a story on yahoo about legalization, i will see if i can find it. ( i read a big chunk of it)  I don't need studys to tell me that,  a big part of the " what would you do thread" i started was do to how pot changes people and not for the better.  don't get me wrong there was a bunch of other crap there too, but that was the reason i started it.   i watched people i have known for years litterly change for weeks at a time. All becuase they were getting high for 3-5 days straight at events, they would come back diffrent.  Moody, more aggressive,  cold( lack of a better word) all around diffrent people.    some of the pot now is so much stronger then it was a decade ago and what it was before that.   it is addicting, it is a drug and its still illegal.   legalizing it is not the answer, nor is the current system, some where inbetween is about right.    legalizing it will have lots of  "unintend consicincence"

Not when you already have drawn your own conclusions.
Hint: "Anecdote" does not equal "data".

i watched people i have known for years litterly change for weeks at a time. All becuase they were getting high for 3-5 days straight at events, they would come back diffrent.

So what? Unless it was your kid, wife or sibling it's really NONE OF YOUR FREAKING BUSINESS!   

it is addicting

Again....bullshit.

legalizing it will have lots of  "unintend consicincence"

I'm assuming you mean unintended consequences.
And keeping it illegal doesn't have "unintend consicincence"?
Hundreds of Billions have been spent on the "War on Drugs" with nothing to show for it except rights being trampled on, prison populations at levels communist dictators don't reach, drug use increasing and drug quality getting better and less expensive.
YOU CANNOT LEGISLATE MORALITY. It has been an epic FAIL at every attempt throughout history.

What people do with their carcass is none of your business. Whether that is whacking off too much, (which means more than you), or getting high or wearing a leather executioner mask while spanking their wife covered in peanut butter.
If they are not harming anyone but themselves...It Is None Of Your Business!
