I’ve always wondered about that, if they were to legalize the weed would people still get busted for it in drug tests at work?
I would smoke while teaching class. (Upon reflection, it’s probably good that I’m not allowed to do that. My cigarette intake would go up exponentially.)
I’m trying to think of something, but I’m such a damn goody-goody that I’m having trouble. I don’t care much for drugs of any sort, and I am too nice to inflict my nekkidness on the unsuspecting public. Besides which, my lily-white ass would burn in ten minutes unless I put on so much sunblock I would technically no longer be naked.
Maybe I’d kill a couple of people, or at least slap them around a lot.
Really, all I want to do is be able to drive a useful speed on the freeway. Let’s say, anywhere from 80-100. None of this stupid 55 crap. I swear I could get from here to my parents’ house in another state in five hours if I could haul ass on those long, open stretches. Yeah, I think I just want all freeways to be Autobahnen.
The only other thing I want has already been decriminalized in my lovely state. 
Hooray for Oregon!
Far be it from me to mess the whimsical point of OP around, but making things legal doesn’t also make them morally acceptable. It’s a little alarming how many people say they’d kill or otherwise harm another only if the law said it was okay. Or if it didn’t not say it was okay.
Eh, there’s more than one moral code in the world, y’know. They don’t hand out the same one to everybody at the door.
I’d target heavy munitions at those modified little rice burner cars that feel they have the privilege to dodge in and out of traffic, cutting off people that are just trying to get to work!!!
I’d modify my motorhome to run on propane. It’s good for the environment and good for the wallet, but it won’t pass the smog tests in California because it doesn’t have all the original equipment. One the same subject, I’d convert my SUV to battery electric, but that won’t pass either, because of the same reasons. It is like the California law is intended to prevent anyone from buying anything other than OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts.
I’m kinda irritated about that.
I would stockpile my medicine cabinet with a variety of narcotic pain killers, etc., to use when needed.
I would also get an IV setup with some of that Ringer’s solution to administer to myself when I have a hangover. (** I’ve heard some medical types here on the boards say that this is the only thing that really cures a hangover - it should be available to the public!)
I wouldn’t do my taxes or pay my socialized medicine premiums for eight years… or, I mean… yeah.
Also, I would drive 140 km/h on the highway and I would blow every stop sign where I had good visibility.
Anne Sexton used to chain-smoke in class while she was teaching at Boston University. It wasn’t actually against the law to smoke indoors then, but it was certainly against university policy and some students complained. But she got away with it, because hey, she’s Anne Sexton.
Sometimes I wonder what I could get away with if I were Anne Sexton…
14 year old girls. And heroin, if I could be guaranteed of its strength and purity with no dirty needles: that stuff’s good.
Dude, I drove 140km/h or faster for years on Highway 5 in California and across the US Interstate system and even occasionally in NJ. My last speeding ticket was for doing 87mph* which is 140km/h. This was a few months ago.
You can still legally drive 140km/h in Germany can’t you? I also understand you can do so cheaply in Montana. I have heard and wonder if it is still true that their tickets are only $5. Might be worth checking into if you ever find yourself close to either Germany or Montana.

- The officer was very nice and only wrote me up for 74 mph, thus meaning only 2 points on my insurance and a smallish fine. I am now driving much slower and I have discovered I don’t really mind, but it feels more dangerous as the crazy people now come at me from all sides. Especially those SUV drivers, illegally using their cell phones without the hands-free option. They just cannot stay in their lanes. I was much safer in the fast lane, just going faster than them. Now I am in either the middle or slow lane and I have to watch for idiots from every direction. Speed does not cause accidents, bad and thoughtless drivers cause accidents.
Go to a movie. Have a beer.
If it were legal:
Bank robbery would be very high on my list.
And then, having the money, hiring 5 star prostitutes
And hiring a team of thugs to deliver beat-downs to those who deserve it. I’m not talking about people who personally insult me or anything, but people who are bad for society, like your Jimmy Swaggerts and Paris Hiltons.
Sure. It being legal doesn’t excuse the company from liability if the employee fucks up under the influence. Not, you know, that testing positive for marijuana necessarily has anything to do with actually being under the influence, but we haven’t really bothered to let facts get in the way of drug hysteria. Companies would still be free to fire employees for testing positive. They do now, sometimes even when the employee is a legal medical marijuana card holder.
Well, I used to drive however I wanted, wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted, until I began to confuse the frequency with which I was receiving tickets with a ticker tape parade. I’ve moved back and forth between Alberta and BC and both governments have sent me letters saying, “Buddy, smarten up or you’ll be piloting a Big Wheel.” I have 36 points across both provinces, with your average infraction being two or three points.
Suicide? Not paying sales tax? What am I missing?
I’d like to be able to drink. Ah, well, six more months. Back on track, I’d be interested in trying some softer drugs, like pot or possibly shrooms. I probably will anyway, but I’d like to do it without worrying about getting caught or tested.
The sticky icky.
Rape, pillage, and burn. (just kidding about the rape)
Murder. (not kidding at all)
Depends on your definition of cheaply, but well over $5.
