hey everyone i have a coupole of ? im deaf why cant i get a green card and be legal to smoke pot and im 19 almost 20 i need this it helps me focus and work on time and it dont hurt me at all i just need it cuz of my body and my deafness come on obama you could help that out man its stressful i hate it help me out need this.

Keep in mind that, even though it is 'legal' in the state, possession and use are still against federal law. Just because the feds don't apply the legal standard in every case, doesn't mean that it is condoned-I wouldn't want to be the athlete that has to go before the Supreme Court to get my job back......

well its hard for me to get a job cuz i am deaf and there is no way i could get one cuz no one understand me much.

its hard all the time what would be the best to get it legal for me.

It is still illegal under federal law, which trumps state law in situations like this. The biggest reason you keep it under the 1 oz and 6 plants is that keeps it usually under the felony levels, which helps avoid federal penalties, but they can't supersede the federal law making it illegal.

ok for shure what about more then 8

it cant be just 21 and up thats not right it should be 18 and up cuz pepole have health probloms it helps alot of ppl. the state law makes me mad

As a Canadian, it always bemused me how in the U.S.A. if you rape and murder, you get 15 years in jail, but if you're caught with a couple of joints, it's life in prison. That may be a slight exaggeration, but not that far off.

Because of the substance abuse policies in place in the NCAA and NFL I don’t for see in the near future any change on the leagues stance and enforcement of the policy. At the collegiate level I could see some change, because the policy in place is up to a one-year suspension for testing positive for drug use.
The biggest difference between the NCAA and a professional league is that the policy is negotiated between the league and the players. The NFL players are also signing multi-year agreements worth millions of dollars. Because of this the players have already agreed that marijuana is a banned substance. The biggest difference between NFL and the NCAA is that the NCAA is the governing body of collegiate sports and the players have no true say or union to support them fighting suspensions or what is a banned substance. Also the NCAA wrote their substance abuse policy when all 50 states had outlawed the substance. The one thing both organizations have going for them in what will become stand against marijuana use is the federal government outlaws the substance and federal law supersedes state law.
While I have mixed feeling of marijuana being outlawed from an economics stand point, I think this will become more of an issues in the future as more states pass legislation that allows citizens to possess marijuana. From a PR standpoint both leagues have to take hard stands one way or another when they update their substance abuse policy in the future. I don’t for see either organization changing their policies but it will become a hot topic if more states legalize marijuana. If any professional league or organizations like the NCAA would allow their athletes to use marijuana it would be a PR nightmare for them. While many feel it should be legal it has many negative associations with it and it would tarnish the reputation of the league and teams involved.
In the future I would expect to see a few changes in how the substance abuse policies are written, but I don’t see any organization changing their stance on banning marijuana use. The biggest change I could see is with the NCAA; they may reduce the suspension length for players that play in a state that it is legal. But I think by reducing it in some states and not all will draw allot of attention from the media and the public. The NCAA will continue to ban marijuana but I think they will have to change their policy and reduce the punishment if more states legalize marijuana.
