I've heard it's a lot more difficult to test whether someone's high right that moment since blood tests vary due to THC staying in your system for so long, and everything else is way less reliable. It's going to be interesting to see how they solve that.

Personally, if a police officer thinks I'm high and asks me for a blood test I'm just going to concede on the spot even if I'm not high. I hope they find a way that doesn't provoke such a common phobia. It'd be like testing someone's intoxication with spiders.

It's simple, if you have THC in your blood you are under the influence. Simple, cold, logical, and doesn't play favorites, just what the law should be.

THC can remain in your blood for up to a couple weeks after you smoke. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not under the influence a week after I smoke. It's the fat solubility that screws it up.

Also there's still this deal with field blood tests. I think those are a little too invasive to be routine tests. I'm fine with taking a breathalyzer if I'm sober but seem drunk, but not giving blood if I'm sober but seem high.

You gave up your rights as a free citizen the moment you failed to vote libertarian. Have fun with your communist, pinko socialist, mad maxesque hellscape of overly sensitive chapped butts and health food stores. I'll be in my osmium lined fallout shelter until Gary Johnson has a chance. See you all at the end of the universe.

Dammit, from what I hear, everyone in florida's gone home and no more votes will be counted tonight 

Either way, it won't matter. If the count in the rest of the states are right, then there is literally no possible way Romney could win.

Based on other people's personal accounts, it doesn't even seem like driving while high on marijuana is that much of a problem.  The people I know who admit to having done it say it made them drive really slow and paranoid.  So at worst, they become a nuisance on the road, but not a danger?

I don't think it should be legal, and I've done it. Probably not as serious a charge as a DUI but still something that should be discouraged. The worst I've done is forgotten to turn on my lights at night because of it, but that's still potentially dangerous.

Also apparently Puerto Rico's statehood vote might have passed? I've heard sources saying it has and sources saying it's too close to call.

[Karlito]

Well, with no real change in Congress, I guess we can look forward to a government just as effective as the one we've had the last two years. I wonder if the Republicans will be more cooperative now that their one-term President agenda has been defeated.

My sources say over 62%.

A few victories for Dems, 3 precious senate wins.

[Aqizzar]

Am I the only one that failed to have a solid election day drunk going?

Solid, maybe.  I am tipping back a cold one, for the Hell of it.

I have to say, that was definitely a concession speech with the ring of "written in the hotel room".  One for the history books it is not, and I can't wait to count how many Republican talking heads are crowing tomorrow about having the wrong candidate.

By the way, there's a picture going around of Barack and Joe having been informed of their victory.  They look like they're about to french.  Need to find a link.

This is probably going to sound sarcastic but this result will have huge implications in the 2014 midterms.  The economy is expected to recover more quickly couple years and the democrats will go into the midterms with a win at their back.  So the liberal agenda will probably be delayed until then but I'd expect a democratic majority in 2014.  US economy will be doing better and Obama will have the bully pulpit to say "Look at Europe, that's what austerity will do!"

[Strife26]

No drinking for me, but I'm drinking plenty of caffiene as I sort through a couple month worth of disorganization.


Yay Obama. Lesser of two evils, I spose.

[Max White]

So it is my understanding that US presidents have a two term limit, correct?
Meaning that the liberals will need to find a new guy.

[Strife26]

Two and a half, to be exact, but yeah. Obama won't be able to run in 16.


I'm going to start my predictions early and put forward Huntsman/Colbert as the winner in 2016 right now.

[penguinofhonor]

I want Yarmuth to have a shot. He's my house representative and he's basically a badass.

Please do.

Obamas winning PV. Hell, It looks like he's going for 332! Awesome.

[tryrar]

obama's up

[penguinofhonor]

Huh, so nationally this isn't going to be as much of a landslide as 2008 was, electorally or by popular vote.

Seriously, somebody must have links to some site streaming this.
