Medicinal Marijuana Patient May Lose Marijuana ID Card for... Smoking Pot? - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22761124]How about that doesn't change the fact that it's illegal to smoke in public?[/QUOTE] Legal =\= right. I personally think that public intoxication should be legal, and can only be used as a charge against you if paired with something else(like say if you were drunk and beat the shit out of someone you could get charged with public intoxication on top of assault). If you are minding your own business out on the streets then you shouldn't be hassled just because you had a little to drink or smoked some pot.

How about someone go find that snitch and give him a kick in the cock?

If someone is mentally ill should it be illegal for them to go into public?

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22761501]The act of being drunk in itself isn't harmful to anyone else though. If someone is mentally ill should it be illegal for them to go into public?[/QUOTE]Absolutely. My thing is that if im not bothering anyone, then they shouldnt bother me.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22761501]The act of being drunk in itself isn't harmful to anyone else though. If someone is mentally ill should it be illegal for them to go into public?[/QUOTE] Say that to victims of drunk driving accidents. As for the mentally ill, depends on how ill they are. Half the time they're held in "mental health" facilities in till the experts they feel otherwise. [QUOTE=Superginger;22758811]The only solution is legalization.[/QUOTE] I agree, I've never liked weed but only good things can come from legalization. People are going to smoke it anyway so might as well try and do something positive with it. [QUOTE=yawmwen;22761183]Legal =\= right.

If you are minding your own business out on the streets then you shouldn't be hassled just because you had a little to drink or smoked some pot.[/QUOTE] Laws that prohibit public intoxication are generally to protect the person intoxicated. Usually people who are intoxicated and roaming the streets are victims of crimes like robbery, muggings, and beat downs simply because the other person/group see them as a easy target. People who get picked up on public intoxication usually don't get in much trouble. They're taken down to jail overnight to sober up and usually get some sorta ticket/fine and get released the next day.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22761501]The act of being drunk in itself isn't harmful to anyone else though. If someone is mentally ill should it be illegal for them to go into public?[/QUOTE] Lets see, we can either tell them not to be drunk in public, or only do something after they fuck up and possibly hurt or kill a bystander. It's called preemptive action. Just because you personally aren't going to do anything wrong doesn't mean you're allowed to because otherwise there would be a LOT more accidents

Is abusing cough syrup in public illegal too? Or sleeping pills?

[QUOTE=Comcastic;22759035]Guys, are we forgetting that Marijuana makes people homicidal maniacs, who will stop at nothing to get their next fix? even if it means killing their whole family?[/QUOTE] But Marijuana isn't addictive.

you have got to be stupid to get caught like that. i'm always watching out every time i toke. she didn't even have her medical card yet. she was probably too anxious to smoke.

Reeeeeeeefer Madness! :haw:

Can my government make up its mind already?

[QUOTE=Nick Nack;22758714]Also, smoking/possessing marijuana is still illegal on a federal level. It's illegal for her to have it anyways.[/QUOTE] Do you not know what a Medical Marijuana Card is?

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;22759924]Anyways, why should she get special treatment because she's smoking pot? [b]You can't even inject yourself with insulin in public legally.[/b][/QUOTE] Source please. There's no law against the public use of epinephrine autoinjectors so I don't see why insulin shots would be any different.

[QUOTE=MR-X;22758991]Sigh, i can see why they're getting on her about it. You shouldn't be smoking a joint in your fucking car anyway or in a public area. It's just common sense. What she did is no different then drinking in public, which you can get arrested for. hell you can get arrested for having an open container of alcohol in public.[/QUOTE] Gotta start carrying my joints in brown paper bag.

[QUOTE=Predat0r;22765254]Do you not know what a Medical Marijuana Card is?[/QUOTE] He's right. As far as any federal officer is concerned she is still a criminal. However, Obama has stopped(or is supposed to stop) prosecuting people for it.

[QUOTE=WickedIcon;22765616]Ahem.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but how many people do you know that carry around their prescription with them?

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;22765683]Yeah, but how many people do you know that carry around their prescription with them?[/QUOTE] The law doesn't say they have to carry their prescription with them. You don't get to keep it after you fill it anyway.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;22765683]Yeah, but how many people do you know that carry around their prescription with them?[/QUOTE] Uh, I would if I were diabetic. I'm sure most reasonable people would, that way if a cop stops them they don't have to go to jail until they sort out the mess.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;22765705]The law doesn't say they have to carry their prescription with them.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;22765711]You have to carry some sort of paper that shows that you are legally taking it don't you?[/QUOTE] There's a label on the package but otherwise, no. You don't need special permission to use a prescription in public, other than the prescription itself. The doctor's phone number is on the damned bottle. If a cop arrested me for taking a prescription they'd promptly find themselves on the ass end of a lawsuit.
