So New Mexico just legalized pot, just in time for 4/20 for those in the know. Does this mean at LANL that staff can get totally baked over lunch? What about students? This could be a good recruiting tool, come to LANL and at 7000ft you can live the high life....! Weed is tight, weed is tight.

When the alcohol industry is no longer greasing the palms of the Feds to keep it illegal, it may enter the workplace. Nice and high at a glove box, almost as much fun as someone drunk or high in the cockpit of an airliner.
I thought as much, oh well. Maybe Biden can make legal on the Federal level. I understand if you don't want some Glove box or worker bee type people not to be high all the time but for the rest of the higher level enlightened beings why not? Can at least our state teachers can be high? If everyone is high enough there will be no need for nukes anyway.
I smoke two joints in the morning,
I smoke two joints at night,
I smoke two joints in the afternoon,
It makes me feel all right.
I smoke two joints in time of peace,
And two in time of war.
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more.
90% of everyone wants to legalize pot. Here is an idea can the labs do large scale simulations of what wold happen if the US legalizes drugs? How is is in Europe we can have no guns, all the drugs we want and no yet no violence and almost zero crime? What is so crazy about the US. It is time to joint the civilized world.
Good point. The problem is that it is a gateway drug, as soon you use it, it opens you up to harder drugs and the more hard drugs you use the more likely you will storm the US capital. I generally believe that drugs should be legal but only certain people should be allowed to use them.
Driving high causes accidents. Accidents cause deaths. There is no test for impairment with cannabis. Accident victims need a basis on which to sue for damages. One will be created that you won't like.

Driving itself can be dangerous once we have self-driving cars we can make it illegal for people to drive and problem solved. Get as high as you like.

You comment sounds like elitist babble. Please go elsewhere millions of New Mexicans enjoy
responsible Marijuana use. As for motivation, motivation to do what make more money, destroy the environment, live a life by exploiting labor? Maybe if people smoked more pot there would be less police shooting, and less stressed out people.
What do you mean by continual collapse of NM? Maybe NM is just fine the way it is and not everything can be measured by capitalistic standard of money.

Hey, I lived in NM for 40 years. "Land of Mañana." Weed makes it "Land of Never."

If you have a problem with NM then please leave. You where not born here, you where not raised, yet you think you can judge us?
Lighten up. It was a joke.

False the people of New Mexico go back to 1540 or Coronado, Juan de Oñate. New Mexicans go back 500 years, generation after generation. We speak the ancient Spanish, we live the old ways and are one with the land. You have no place to judge.

A little time in the library might help you understand "how far back" the "people of New Mexico" go. Hint, a lot more than 500 years.

I have noticed that in New Mexico there are large number of people who basically think that New Mexico history starts at 1620 and that they are not Hispanic but Spanish. The whole thing is odd since they forgot the Native Americans not to mention that the odds of someone being a full Spanish and not a Hispanic after 10 generations is close to zero.
No sense confusing the discussion with a meaningless distinction between "Hispanic" and "Spanish." Distinctions among language (and language "mixes) spoken at home can be illuminating, but heritage is difficult to trace or verify. Suffice it to say that in northern NM, more people can claim Spanish roots, while in southern NM, fewer can do so.
Spanish and Hispanic are indeed rather distinct. Spanish would designate someone with genetics from the old world only, you know people from Spain, while Hispanic is a mixture of new world and old world genes.
I know that in NM there are many who claim they are Spanish but it simply makes no sense if you look at the demographics and the migration movements amongst the Spanish in the 300 to 400 years ago. Not to mention that if you see people from Northern New Mexico that claim they are Spanish it is beyond obvious they are not as they look Hispanic not Spanish. I think if they ever did the 21 and me test kits it would rather telling.
You are right that distinctions among language and cultures can occur but this is true across the entire new world Latin populations where there are various groups of Hispanics that speak old dialects but even these groups you do not have people going around saying I am really Aragagoneses not Mexican ect.
