Ask hunter.

Perfect example of a person who from what I understand, purchased a firearm, completed a 4473, then went out in a public venue and admitted to drug use...now being prosecuted. I could be wrong, just asking.

it's possible and legal to purchase a firearm with no 4473 involved.

I get that, not what I'm asking. I wouldn't sell a firearm to that person if I knew, but that is me...

Makes more sense than anything else

I agree. Now I'm not innocent, I've fiddled with my phone while driving, but have seen some amazing things on the road when someone is obsessed with their phone. At a stop light the other day I saw a guy messing with his phone while his 2 small children (between two and five maybe) WALKING around the back seat. They were still that way when I passed them on the highway, but he had quit looking at his phone. Stupid idiot.

Yay more support for anxiety causing drugs

'Never touched ganja, in any form. I was around plenty of heavy users in college, back when it was way weaker than it is now. One was a life-long friend who finally cleaned up his act and he confirmed that there are many long-term effects that nobody is ever supposed to talk about, like many other "lifestyle choices."

I'll be 65 next month when do these " long-term effects" kick in and what should I expect, did he tell you?

Sitting in a big rig, you can see right down into a car. You might he surprised how many people are playing video games or swiping through plenty of fish or something whole they are cruising.

My truck is governed at 68 miles per hour. 99% of the people that I pass on the interstate are doing something like that. Some even watch movies. They always slow down. Soon as I see brake lights under normal driving conditions, I get as far away from them as possible.

They think dropping 5-10 mph in speed is gonna make up for the reaction time they lose by not focusing on the road. 55-65 mph is still gonna make you doornail dead in a head-on collision. No way around that.

I back the blue…. But some of y’all on this thread losing credibility with me for common sense reasoning when equating pot to other hard drugs and alcohol….never had an experience with people high on pot beating their wives and children, living on the streets begging for money, killing innocent victims driving while high on pot…..

I agree that alcohol is worse, that prescription drugs are worse, etc. I am looking at the decay of society as it relates to substance abuse. Marijuana plays a role in that. I don’t think it should be outright banned and it has it’s place, but substance use requires regulation.

Anywhere they decriminalize substance abuse everything goes downhill fast. Not everybody uses substances responsibily.

And Oklahoma is a great example.

News in Austin is saying some pot seized there has tested positive for Fentanyl.

If true we can thank prohibition for that.

This is a growing problem with all drugs. China is killing our citizens and no one cares because addicts are expendable.

Prohibition of fentanyl is alittle different. it’s a roll of the dice if it’s addiction or death first, but end result is the same

Brings a whole new meaning to Killer Weed

I have seen so many fall dead from this stuff, it is pure evil...even small communities are seeing this stuff show up in Methamphetamines, Cocaine, and now Marijuana. Just when Heroin appears under control again, this stuff comes along as a street drug.

I just hope everyone is careful out there, we can have all the mind dumbing debates we want about weed, but this is different.

I meant prohibition of weed, sorry should have been clearer. There’s be no need to worry about tainted weed if the potheads could buy it from legitimate sources like in the legal states.

I'm not sure how many "potheads" could afford $7-800.00 worth of pot you could hold in the palm of one hand...which is what you get with pot stores and legitimate sources. The government isn't going to legalize anything they cannot make a profit off.

Legalize it and it will be regulated and taxed to death. Priced a pack of Marlboro Light 100's lately? Mexico will keep on making it cheaper, adding a dash of Fentanyl sometimes and hauling it across our open borders.

This sadly is truth although most of it is local grown. Not worth importing it.

Quite a few ODs over the last couple weeks in Austin.
