   But there’s STILL no smoking in the air (and the sleigh’s lavatories have been equipped with smoke detectors for your safety and convenience).

   Hey don’t give Colorado all the publicity. In Washington State we too have legalized pot so Santa & his reindeer can get high here also.

   Santa’s getting his Rocky Mountain High! I’m miffed we didn’t do this in California, time for NORML to get off it’s lazy behind and get this initiative on our next ballot.

   Thank you Mr. Buzz Kill. Next time we want an opinion from the peanut gallery we’ll rattle your cage.

   Compare the incidents of people killed or injured while on MJ or by people in MJ to similar incidents with booze. Maybe the grass growers are on to something at that.

   Legal drinkng age laws have never stopped illegal alcohol consumption…No reason to think that legal use of MJ will take a different path…
   Personally, I have never really been in favor of MJ’s legalization, but I have to defer to the states that have exercised their right to vote in such legalization…although they may well reap an unanticipated whirlwind of problems as a result.
   However, the laws against operation of a motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, etc. while under the influence of drugs or alcohol still remain intact, although the specific wording can differ from state to state. If, for instance, Colorado’s DUI law specifically states “under the influence of controlled substances, illegal drugs or alcohol” or siomilar terminology, some might argue that MJ is no longer an illegal drug under (that) state’s law, nor is it a controlled substance there…so that might make for some interesting courtroom shenagins…
   However, the Federalies still maintain that it is illegal on their level, so it poses a bit of a potential problem there in Colorado (and Washington state).
   I’m not totally up to date on these states’ legal nuances as respects MJ, as I live over a thousand miles from either of these jurisdictions…and I’m not an MJ ‘user.’ But there appear to be a number of potential legal problems in store for these states with the conflicting laws and the unpredictable behavior of judges and courts in general, (not just in these two states)…Interesting drama is bound to unfold…

   A good time to invest in paraphernalia.

    Interesting the pill I took this morning for chronic nerve pain is considered “safe”, but mj makes everyone worried about stoners, who aren’t half as blasted as a lot of folks taking the same legal med I did. (I use even legal drugs in moderation, as being just out of pain, not “blasted” is the goal.) BTW, the three pain control meds I get from the pharmacy can ALL kill with an o.d., but that’s impossible to achieve on marijuana.

    A couple of years ago I floated the idea (in a comment on a Ben Sargent cartoon) for a novelty Christmas song called “What’s In The Pipe, Santa?.” It’s told from the point of view of a State Trooper working on Christmas Eve who pulls over a sleigh for going over the speed limit. In response to the officer’s questioning, the driver won’t do anything but giggle and offer cookies (attempted bribery?). It occurs to me that there’s a likely pun when the trooper radios in that he’s got “Probable Claus” (maybe that’s when the dispatcher tells him to drop it after a warning?).
    

    
    If anybody wants to record this, they’re welcome to it (just mention my name). It ought to make millions, and anything’s better than “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.”

    BIg Pharama has its advantages…their drugs kill you and have worse side effects that Mary Jane but they can always either buy off the FDA or Congress.
