LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marijuana shoppers are going to be getting a message from California regulators: Go legal.

Me too.

5. It is indeed legal. What they should be doing is pushing employers to stop the drug testing

for new hires and random tests. The only testing which I think should be going on is for being under the influence in a job involving potential dangers.

6. really need accurate kinetic tests.

we really need this. a neuro-based test of function like the dui field test.
heck, those of us on mmj would welcome a simple test that would tell us if we are safe to drive, etc.

i have a lot to sort out, and observing the effects of different strains is not as easy as you think it is. i dont really feel the psyche effects from most strains, esp edibles. i get different reactions, like being sleepy, or agitated.

knowing that if i cant stand on one leg and bend over means i shouldnt drive, or means i have hit an effective dose, would be quite useful.

7. legal market place is price fixing and price gouging for the legal drug cartel nt
