It would depend on the strain. Some strains are known to energize some people. As well many people build up tolerances to the stuff. I now a fellow that is able to digest 30+ grams a day and functions so well you would never guess that he is a user. Maybe some one here knows someone with a legal dispensary who could inform people a little better on this matter. Personally I wish my own mother would give it a try for medical reasons. My self though, it knocks me on my butt. I could get stone from second hand smoke. Yet still I signed the petition for the marijuana referendum and I really hopes it gets a green light.

Are you kidding me? He smokes/eats over an ounce a day? That's like 60 joints a day, snoop dog eat your heart out. There's mountains of evidence that shows marijuana is real medicine, unfortunately it gets a lot of snickers and doubts because of how easy it is to abuse the medical marijuana system. But really if he can't operate as a cop without weed then he needs to go on disability. you just can't smoke and be a cop.
 
He does not smoke..... And yes it's over 1oz a day 2 pounds a month.

If the current medical marijuana system goes federal and he has the buy it at the prices they are talking about. An estimated price of $10 a gram which is more then high school kids are paying he have to go from being a user of medical marijuana and go back on prescription drugs. Really sad if you ask me.

i can't imagine the pain you friend is dealing with to need that much of a daily dosage, that being said i can't see the fedral government making anything more affordable either. if they legalize marijuana the government will tax the SH$t out of it just like cigarette's..Sad but true...
 
What about 16 aspirin a day, or insulin shots for diabetis. He was administering medication,prescribed by a Doctor. As such,I do not believe his superiors can give him an order not to take prescribed mediction.

Just a thoght, wonder what medical plan is paying for the madication?

yes but 16 asprin won't have an effect on your cognitive function. Weed, opiates, amphetamines etc. all will effect your decision making and reflexes and shouldn't be used by someone driving around with a gun. Although maybe cops wouldn't be such d*cks if they ate a few pot cookies every morning :)
 
Don't forget marijuana affects every person in a different way. Ever seen a guy get wired from Gravol? I seen it..... But most just fall asleep.
 
Now for the rest of the story....
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottaw...an-t-smoke-publicly-in-uniform-rcmp-1.2442576

Francis said he experienced stress on the job early in his career, while serving the First Nation in Davis Inlet and in his own community of Kingsclear First Nation. He began to seek treatment for mental distress eight years ago.

At first, his doctors prescribed anti-depressants, but he did not feel any significant improvement.

“I started to self-medicate with alcohol. And I said no, this is not me. Why am I doing this? And I was going through treatment for PTSD at the time, and the RCMP did provide treatment, and I thank the RCMP for that.”

What a wimp. How do you get PTSD outta that? A great job on his own reserve. Last I heard mounties would get postings far from home. The screening process must be a lot more lax for Indians. What a bunch of BS.
 
Easy for you to pass judgment on him without knowing what has caused him this PTSD. I can't imagine being an RCMP officer anywhere would be easy and i imagine he saw something to pretty awful to need to be perscribed anti-depressants. "the only thing criminal about the occasional use of marijuana is the fact that it is still criminalized" far more people die every year from alcohol then marijuana. i signed the petition and encourage others to do the same.

ya the active ingredient is a Deliriant, scary stuff in high doses. Kids use it all the time to get high cause its cheap and legal. Agreed though many people can use marijuana all day long and you'd never know it, BUT I don't want them driving cop cars "fighting crime"/.

Agreed, could you just imagine the lineup at Tim Hortons:p
 
See I don't care what he does out of uniform. They shouldn't drink in uniform either or be having sexual relations with others in the public eye either in that uniform. LOL... :) They have an image to uphold in uniform. But after hours to each there own. Weather it be recreational or medical.

Come on its only pot........
