Do you realize that if you could get your wish of never having to deal with people who were under the influence of some random chemical compound that you wouldn't be able to function within society?

You are greatly overestimating the effect some of these chemicals actually have on the central nervous system, thought processes, etc. etc.

Unfortunately for you as well as everyone else that would like that, that only exists in a fantasy.

If WE are the government and the majority of US didn't want the health care bill how the hell did that end up passing?

WE are not the government. WE elect people to go represent US in the government. Once they get there WE have nothing to say about what they do until it is time for US to vote again.

You guys kill me, my initial argument is that I don't want people being high at work. Period. You will not change my mind or come up with any plausible justification that I will accept. Seriously.

That was your initial argument, and it was something on which I readily agreed with you. It is some of your other statements and secondary arguments which I take issue with.

Yeah, I know quite a few that do that. My friends cousin goes out on Fire/EMT calls drunk half the time. Fucked up shit.

I keep saying, I don't care what you do to yourself. If it were up to me suicide would be legal. I said that I don't wish your habits to endanger me or the people that I care for. Why is that so wrong? How exactly is that impinging on your precious freedom? Does anyone else ever get the feeling that some of these guys ONLY smoke pot BECAUSE it is illegal to prove how edgy and rebellious they are?

Cut the fucking drama shit, Anslinger.

Point is moot. You are more likely to be taken out by a teen on a cell.

And I never said that's okay either... so if there are teens on cell phones driving on the road then it should be okay for you to drive drunk or high? I don't get it...

Okay let's say that DP is perfectly capable of being an outstanding EMT stoned on pot. Does that mean that every EMT is okay to work high? If even 1 out of 1000 EMTs can't function properly high then none should to it. Imho

Did you even watch the vid? The whole point is that weed does not have a tangible effect on driving prowess. You keep saying "drunk or high" as if the two are interchangeable and that's just not true. Clearly you are speaking of something you do not have enough experience with to have formed a correct perspective and instead are relying on a basic D.A.R.E. education that most Americans believe to be the truth.

Driving under the influence of THC vs. Alcohol are two completely different things that should not be compared for the basis of your argument that you do not want to work next to "dopeheads."
