The arguments against overhauling the marijuana DUI laws are embarrassingly juvenile. What century are these people living in?
Hey dude, pass the dooby.
If you are intoxicated on any substance, I don't want you driving.
Nevada legislators, no on pot lounges. Thank you!
Why?
I don't want them, either. Smoke your doobie at home.
What are tourists supposed to do? They can purchase it but have nowhere to consume it. Don't like pot lounges? Then don't go to one.
Smoke in their room. Car. Outside. I don't care. No pot lounges.
No pot lounges, no bars then.
State legalizes and taxes sale of pot to tourists. Tourists ask, where can I smoke this? State says, nowhere, thank you for your money. Am I missing anything?
My question is whether the lounges will have to mitigate the smell. Have you ever been by a grow facility? It's like a punch in the face. A lounge might not be so bad, but I can't imagine they won't emit a pretty pungent smell throughout the strip mall.
Pot is not the same as booze, but thank you for playing. They can smoke the doob with the boob, Harry Reid.
12:49 points out the exact problem. "Smoke in their room (Illegal). Car (Illegal). Outside (Illegal). I don't care. No pot lounges."
Some in their room(illegal), wrong. Smoke in their car(illegal) wrong, so long as not driving. Smoking outside(illegal) wrong. Rent a house. No pot lounges. You can smoke doobage with Wolfson's pot head daughter anywhere.
There is a 2017 NHTSA study on MJ and it found that there is a "poor correlation of THC concentrations in the blood with impairment…along with the implication that setting per se levels is not meaningful." Interesting considering this came out in 2017 when MJ was still very illegal in most states.
C'mon everybody. You know when you are impaired and the number of drinks you have to be drunk and not drive. With marijuana not so easy or sure. You should not be smoking and driving. Period. The pot today is so strong. That is why the drive-thrus at the potstands are wrong. How do people get their–they drive- right. I smell it everywhere while stopped at lights. People are "toking". This is plain wrong.
You know when you are too intoxicated to drive after consuming marijuana as well if you are experienced with that sort of thing. I agree that people should not be smoking and driving but people should not be drinking and driving either.
I feel like this whole thread is people who have actually smoked pot and some 80 year olds who have no idea what they're talking about.
Just because you have pot in your system does not mean you are high. You could smoke pot and it still be in your system days later. That doesn't mean you are driving intoxicated, but it does mean you could get a DUI and it could ruin your life. That's idiotic.
Also, pot lounges are a great idea. They'd provide jobs and money and a safe space for tourists to get high. You know…tourists…those walking bags of money upon which our fair city runs? Give the people what they want.
That there exists no test to detect whether somebody currently driving is high or intoxicated on MJ to the point of impairment is PRECISELY why it MJ should remain illegal.
Is this the Sun City Nextdoor page? Those darn kids driving around injecting their reefer. GET OFF MY LAWN!
God, I miss my fringed leather calf high moccasins, my fringed leather jacket, sitting on the floor with Joplin on the record player, a girl I first met 5 minutes ago, or was it yesterday? Grateful Dead concerts, black lights and great posters. Tokin and jokin.
Oh – then I grew up.
Any one who actually understands the intoxicants, know that when you smoke pot, you know and appreciate your impairment … unlike alcohol which reduces inhibitions, gives you feelings of courage, and actually makes you believe are okay to drive.
Why does the marijuana smoke smell like a skunk? Anyone….Bueller….Bueller. Why do the grow facilities and the dispensaries smell like rotten garbage. "What will we do there, we'll get high, what will we touch there, we'll touch the sky"…Itchykoo Park…..Now can I get in my car and drive home. Was that a stop light I just missed?

Believing that potheads make good decisions is pretty funny there 2:24
I want my old job back at Gordon and Silver. My old boss made a pass at my.

Marijuana–when the ballot measure was placed on the ballot the proponents promised that we would not small it outside. Public smoking which infringes on others would not be allowed at parks and public places like the Strip. A lie. We would not smell it outside at all or in our cars. A lie. We would not have to expose our kids at bars or restaurants where there is outside smoking or smoking near. A lie. Dispensaires and grow facilities would be strictly regulated and not allowed in residential neighborhoods. A lie. You would not have to deal with it at apartments or where you live from others smoking. Now tenants and occupants have no where to go to complain. It is a legal substance we can't do anything about it. A lie, a lie. At least with alcohol it does not intrude in your space (smell fumes and pollutants) except when someone is drunk and driving. With pot it is so pervasive. Pot heads have less respect for the right of others and are worse than tobacco smokers. Like Colorado, communities in Nevada should be permitted to be marijuana free and opt out.
Anyone know if employee lawyers at "big law" can unionize?
I do not think any lawyers have been part of any union in the private sector. Maybe some in the public sector. But why in the hell would you want to be part of a union anyway? Aren't you able to prove to your employer your worth as an attorney? Why would you need to be part of any group to "collectively" demonstrate your worth to the company? You should do that on your own considering how much time and money you personally have put into your own career. Stand alone and do not fall for that group think.
If you need to unionize, you aren't very good at the practice of law.
11:04 spoken like a true union buster
I never worked in "biglaw" but from what I have observed most "biglaw" attorneys burnout, go out on their own and make more money in the process than they did as a non-equity "biglaw" employee. Seems like that, not unionization, is the answer.
