  1. FLORIDA POT FARMER SONG $$

    I got out my pipe stuffed it with pot

    You better believe it held a whole lot.

    I whipped out a lighter thumbed up a flame

    Sucked down that smoke which comforts my brain.

    I tried alcohol smoked cigarettes

    They did nothing but give me regrets.

    My mom had arthritis could not walk around

    I rolled her a joint she danced on the ground.

    I thought I was losing my lovemaking knack

    After I smoked some to me it came back.

    Soon I decided prices were high

    I searched for some ground I wouldn't have to buy.

    I bargained for seeds from smokers all around

    Got in my truck and drove out of town.

    I walked through the woods where wild birds nest

    Found me the meadow I thought was the best.

    I dug up the ground sowed all my seeds

    Said a small prayer for strong, healthy weeds.

    I watered at night with a five-gallon pail

    Mosquitoes went hungry for I wore a veil.

    Seven months went by; I thought I would die

    Till the Halloween moon was high in the sky.

    At night I went out, in a camouflage suit

    Used my corn knife to chop down the loot.

    I hung it up to dry where it couldnā€™t be found.

    Came back and got it, when it had turned brown.

    I trimmed off the buds, stuffed them in bags

    Called all my friends and passed out free drags.

    In less than a week my crop was gone

    I flew to St. Thomas with a love hungry blonde!!

  2. You can not be in possession of a fire arm and have a medical cannabis card. Get the card revoke your rights. Im not sure if the constitution still applies but the tenth amendment is crystal clear on federal powers and most federal laws are not legitimate.

  3. Still a group of people that still make a lot of money lifting people's things including their freedom because of marijuana. But the law still allows unspeakable things to exist behind closed doors

  4. All drug testing for cannabis needs to end. Replace them with hand-eye coordination/reflex testing before every shift. It could be a simple 1 minute test in order to punch in. How many people actually get 7 or 8 hours of sleep every night? Working or driving while tired is way more of a risk and cannabis drug tests do nothing to prevent it, they only make sure people like me who use responsibility and never at work can't get better jobs. People have been free to have some drinks after a long day of works since the dawn of time. It's time for cannabis users to have the same freedom. Test reflexes and hand-eye coordination, not people's urine to find out what we've been doing in the privacy of our personal lives. It's creepy, intrusive, inefficient, and leads most people to cheat or look for work elsewhere.

  5. Since it is not legal federally, yet lol, businesses can decide their own policies on MM. I think it should be treated just like any other medication when you have to do a drug test for a job. If you are on any type of narcotics, AND have a script from the doc, the doc doing the test calls you so you can give him info to verify it being a legal script. Of course your job should play a factor as well. Cop on MM? No thanks.

  6. On what planet do people think itā€™s appropriate to pass judgment on and sanction someone for taking prescribed medicine? Itā€™s disgraceful, shameful behavior. Especially since they permit people to work zonked out on pills. There is no moral or ethical value in what theyā€™re doing. Itā€™s an enforcement of a political view that sits on a pedestal above basic human rights and common decency. Ridiculous.

  7. Policy Is Policy, but because of Public Smoking, Employers that Drug Test definitely will Test Positive for at Least Slight Amounts of Whatever Smokers Smoke:

    and, I still can't Afford Medical Care.

    Still, I Be Still.

  8. He will win in court case closed..With the shortage in correctional officers all over the US they need all they can get to keep the money rolling. State and Feds pass over alot of money when housing offenders from other states. Believe me no one is knocking any doors down to be a C/O.

  9. Mixed feelings. He is definitely in the wrong job. I took two hits of weed from a fellow smoking a joint that was suffering from depression. It knocked my head in the sand. To be that high and working in law enforcement is something that should not be allowed. A word to the unknowing, the VA cannot write an RX for weed. My doctors can't even discuss it with us!

  10. Ex military should never be allowed in law enforcement ever! Look at all the videos on YouTube alone of misconduct or an officer just freaks out and starts shooting at imaginary people scaring the crap out of paramedics!

  11. Depending on what job he is doing he shouldnā€™t be smoking even legally!

    Iā€™m all for weed I smoke myself everyday but they might not want him screwing up something important cuz he was smoking!

  12. State and Federal government jobs do not allow any use of any drug. So yeah heā€™s not protected and heā€™s not going to win the lawsuit. What he should do is look for a job that doesnā€™t care about using medical marijuana use.
