Original message
People arent getting it, so I will make it the subject. We need a pot test, BEFORE we legalize.   
   

We test for the chemicals that pot degrades into. We have no mainstream test for present level of intoxication. We cannot foist pot on society, till we reconcile this problem. It is not fair, to shove this on those not certain that it is a social good. We make ourselves yahoos, by yelling at those pointing this out. Make no mistake, I am propot, in fact, I am taking some meds right now. But, I am rational. And rational nonsmokers want rational reassurance. And if we **** THIS UP, we will have rightly blown our one chance.

Too bad.  Even if it's legalized, many businesses will still test for it and fire people for it.  :-)

14. that is utterly ridiculous....
   
I don't know whether you're just repeating DEA talking points or whether you really believe that *based on personal experience,* but I can tell you that my SO and I smoke top quality Humboldt chronic just about every day. I'm a working scientist and educator, and she works with a non-profit community action agency. Neither of us is impaired in the least. We frequently work productively while we're "intoxicated" on marijuana, but more to the point, we NEVER suffer intoxication even remotely as damaging as would be the case with equivalent amounts of alcohol. (Full disclosure-- we don't drive when stoned unless absolutely necessary, just on general principles.)

The strength of good, high THC marijuana clones focuses and refines the effects-- it doesn't make them overwhelming or too strong to be "viable as legal intoxicants"-- just the opposite, in my view. We use a grinder that has a fine screen to collect the kif, the loosened trichomes and pure resin crystals, arguably the most potent part of today's high quality clones, and when we really feel like relaxing, we smoke THAT. I've been doing this for DECADES and have suffered no ill effects that I, my doctors, or my peers are aware of.

Anyone know where the mike_c primitive works?  :evillaugh:

The DUmmies didn't even discuss the legitimacy of the OP.  They just go off on rants about pot versus alcohol, drugs should be legal, it's their body etc.

Ah yes the great delusion of I get stoned and there's no difference in my performance.

I've heard it and watched it a thousand times and the only person who thinks that there's no difference is the stoner.  I watched one drive at about 5 MPH into a tree on the side of the driveway but she swore she could drive better stoned than sober.

They sit there staring into space thinking that they're getting something done.  

Losers!

The mike_c primitive's got a real problem if he needs chemicals to alter his mood, to "expand" his "mind."

We don't call him Bugsy for nothing.

However given what we know about him...he spends more time reveling in his BDS and "anyone who's served in Iraq is a war criminal" lunacy than actually teaching anything about "Insect Community Structure".

This is scary.  Okay, if you are stoned, it is NEVER absolutely necessary to drive.

Also, who's this "SO" - let's hope it's not one of his publishing "buddies" like Karen L. Lamoncha:

Yeah, but let's face it - you scrutinize bugs for a living.

If you effed up while high and counted 100 dung beetles instead of 1000, who would notice? Or give a shit?

Summary of research
My interests focus upon insect ecology at community and ecosystem scales. I'm interested in insect assemblage structure, how external forces influence insect community structure, especially anthropogenic land use and disturbance, and how insect community structure influences ecosystem processes such as organic detritus processing and nutrient mobilization. I approach these questions on several fronts, including forest canopy insect ecology, forest soil microarthropods, and freshwater macroarthropod ecology. I am also interested in developing site-specific biomonitoring protocols in Northern California.

It seems like he is an environut that tries to prove humans are forcing changes in the buggering community.

Oh, okay--a bunch of fifty-cent words strung together, that when you step back and take another look, says to the reader, "I sit on my ass and don't do shit, and expect you to pay for my existence."

The mike_c primitive, who for some reason failed to make even runner-up for the TOP 10 PRIMITIVES OF 2009--in fact, I don't believe he was even nominated--middle-aged, around the half-century mark, originally from rural Kansas, born and raised in one of the stricter sects there (I think Mennonite, but it might have been another one), amidst a caring and loving people.

The mike_c primitive went to college somewhere in the east, and then moved to California.

The mike_c primitive some years ago tried getting TxRadioGuy into trouble, but failed.

The mike_c primitive is your typical affluent hypocrite, railing against capitalism (in fact, Benito Bo is "too right" for him) while at the same time earning a large salary derived from capitalistic profits, and taking care to be sure his retirement plans keep growing and growing, from capitalistic enterprises.

It's the Die alte Sau, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher, thing all over again--they both rail against a "system" that makes them fat and affluent.

The mike_c primitive, who lives in a reasonably large house, a couple of years ago whined about some homeless guy living in a pick-up truck parked behind the mike_c primitive's garage.  The mike_c primitive went on and on and on, about how terrible it was.....but then, unlike a good socialist, never admitted to taking the guy into his own home--or even giving him a peanut-butter sandwich.

I think the mike_c primitive's about as selfless, about as socialist, as Howard Hughes was.
