Maybe he can manage the country better, after a toke or two.

Lots of Fudd-like attitudes here. Booze is just fine, but Hunters will go all "Reefer Madness" with "Marihuana" (who spells it that way?), and will need to be closely watched.

This thread has reminded me why I choose to hunt alone.

I think I agree with you. I never have to worry about 'Male bonding' or as Papa penned it " Men without women ". Spent most of my adult working years doing that very thing. Seems like there is always 'That guy' with control issues...sometimes he has none and other times he wants to control it all. No time for that...I'll hang solo, maybe a son or daughter along once a season.
I've always wondered how close 'Deer Hunter' is to reality. "Forgot the boots, forgot the shells...always something Stan" Obviously the pistol scene isn't a possibility though.
Pot makes me silly and sleepy, alcohol makes me silly and ornery...neither is welcome in the presence of firearms.
Interesting enough post though.
Can see the changing attitudes from my father's era, that is certain. I can remember a flask or bottle kicking around trucks when I was a teenager. The fact that this isn't prevalent anymore is good thing IMO.

Mmm, medicine........................

Where can get a prescription for that? I'd love my benefit plan to cover that.

Wynne is giving away free prescriptions to kids under 26, so maybe she could sedate us older type with free "medicinal" whiskey.
I still wouldn't be able to vote for her, but at least after a few shots, I may be able to stomach looking at her.

 

[Magellann]

She's the same crackpot that banned flavored cigars because they hook kids on smoking, go figure. ...
I don't think that there is enough whisky to be able to stomach her, she's one of the most hideous looking creatures out there.

 

[warrenb]

Meh, wee bit of whacki-tabbacki never hurt anyone.
.

I don't think thats necessarily true.
Some of the stuff they produce nowadays is much stronger than the stuff mothers used to rub on their babies gums for toothache.
But apparently it still cures cancer so there you go.

Jus started reading the thread again, it has totally derailed. Apologies to the OP but there have been some seriously wrong statements being made. There has been no real research done in the states because pot was classified as a class one narcotic. There has been queries in the above posts as to viable peer reviewed research validating the various medicinal attributes of cannabis. The nation that has the most established research programmes is Israel. A simple internet search will establish this and their conclusions. It was contained in 60% of prescriptions put out by the AMA when it was criminalized in 1938. They protested vehemently. There have been 27 varieties of cannabis legally grown in Canada (primarily the prairies) since the mid 90's. Canada is recognized as the leading producer in the world for legal cannabis ( the illegal stuff is anyone's guess). The hydroponically grown stuff does reek, no doubt there. Recreational pot and medicinal pot are two different animals, judging by some of the attitudes shown here, this is a very misunderstood part of the debate. Watch the movie "Charlottes Web" if you want to get an idea of the medical possibilities that exist. It is already recognized as an antidote to the intense nausea caused by chemo therapy for eg. I realize there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the pending legalization of cannabis. My take is not much will change. It is readily available and has been since the 60's. Again my apologies to the OP as you specifically requested this not happen.

No need to apologize sir.

When I started this thread, I knew it would get derailed, even when I wrote a comment about it.

I thought it was a legitimate hunting related thread due to the upcoming social changes we will all be facing very soon in this country.

The the ones that stuck to the topic, thank you.

What I find strange in this thread is, people from all walks of life take prescription medication, whether it be heart, blood, pain, etc. Seems all these medications be it pill form or injection is accepted by society. Although tens of thousand have prescribed cannabis for treatment of such ailments of pain, anxiety, appetite, epilepsy and many other reasons, yet many people will not accept it as a medication because it's not a little white pill. So many people also don't seem to get the fact cannabis is not all the same and some that is grown has high amounts of CBD and low to no THC, which means there is no "high" effect at all. But the uneducated will just assumed it's all the same and people are just getting high and to call a spade a spade.
If you ever had a child with a sickness that "conventional" medication cant seem to help, yet cannabis can give a better quality of life through use with a doctor, than you people have no clue what your talking about when you claim everyone just smokes it to get high and nothing more.
And btw there are safe ways to consumption without ever having to smoke or smell it. What is truly sad in this thread is the "it's ok to drink, but no weed in my camp". I'm so glad I have my own camp where no one tells me how I should live my life, and I treat my guests the exact same way

And my blood pressure pills don’t alter my state of mind so that I should not drive or handle a firearm. There in lies the difference. I work with a young guy who is into toking. He has all the same characteristics as the hunting partners I left behind years ago. Severe mood swings, instant irritability, paranoid about everything and everyone at work, etc. I would hate to go through life like that.

And neither does CBD cannabis, so you are obviously another uneducated person spewing off claims having no factual base at all. Maybe do some research about CBD before making claims that are based on your ingnorance and not fact

Nobody is talking about medicinal cannabis in this thread.....

Yup..And the stoners are setting up their children for a life of 7/24 pot smoking.. Mom and Dad smoke !!! So it's harmless..
Your children stoned for their entire life.... that is good parenting
Next we are going to hear it's O.K. for pregnant women to smoke up.. unborn child...No problem

OMG dude, give it a rest with the medicinal crap already. What percentage of people that use marijuana actually do so solely for its medicinal benefits? 1%?
And no, having a card for MM doesn't necessarily mean one needs it, most just like the legality aspect.

Same as the guy giving us a history lesson on the use of pot..(yes i read most of it) How can you compare many 100's to 1000's of years in the past when life was extremly short and a day to day struggle to survive, your day was hard labour, every day
cerimonel purposes maybe.. Like bringing in a new king?? once in a life time
Modern pot use is just to get stoned and not have to face life's up's and downs
All the name calling we are getting from you guys... Just shows me how stoned you are... Thanks for proving me right

Obviously more than some want to believe dude. What's truly sad is the stereotyping in this thread and the uneducated and pure ignorance.

Ok..... let me break the crayons out for you guys..... this thread is about recreational pot use in hunt camps and how different hunting groups plan to handle it now that it is legalized....

I have always allowed it at my camp outside and as long as firearms are put away....

Geeze.... I thought you smokers were supposed to be mellow.....

 

[Grock-co]

Mmm, medicine........................

Lots of items have been sold under the false pretenses of being medical, we are now witnessing the latest. Marihuana the miracle cure all for any of life's problems, the only thing it does is get you high so you don't care anymore, but the stoners can not see past the high.

Im astonished at the level of personal attacks here from adults. and the lack of information being slung is as liberal gun control levels. i agree the medical Cannabis system is being a bit abused by those who just want to smoke. but i never touched the stuff until i was 26 i was fully against it.i finally broke and went in treatment for severe anxiety and PTSD . its great to be one of those just sling me a hand full of pills people but i don't want to be addicted to anything i dont want to be unable to get off of some kind of pill. i gave MC a try and at the time i was fully against it but i would lay in bed all night unable to sleep. since starting i have been sleeping great. I've been more productive and i generally feel better. i have even dropped from a sickly 310lbs to a much better 230 lbs and counting. but this is the same case we argue as gun owners. i dont need this so why do you. alcoholics beat their family and fairly often cause harm to themselves or others while fueled by liquor. what do Marijuana smokers do? kill a family of chips and candy? alcohol is infinitely more dangerous and destructive than cannabis.
