Drinking is legal. Driving drunk is illegal, as is PI, blah, blah, etc.. Smoking pot is illegal, period, except for legal doctor prescribed medicinal purposes.

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it is wrong to do.
Yes it does, hence the word illegal.

Stealth you are so screwed then......

You'd better not ever own a Britannica Encyclopedia or a pair of pliers (wonder if that includes Vise-Grips?) or take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.



Texas laws:

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

Texas law forbids anyone to have a pair of pliers in his possession.

(WHAT NO GERBERS???? WTF???? Thats Un-American!)

It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.

Bwahahahahahha

I'm an outlaw in Texas law!!!!

first, i'm not asking for advice on smoking weed. you do 13 months in iraq and have anxiety attacks when you get home and all they want to do is put me on xanax??? if you can't understand that, then you're f'ed up.

second, me and the wife have pretty much decided that we are going to try it. the extra income (almost 3x a week what i make now) would be REALLY nice. this has been on my mind all weekend and i couldn't sleep. HOPEFULLY i'll be making the right choice. i've worked with my dad and uncles (for about 2 years) so i'm used to the family thing.....


just going to have to get a 4x4 again...this one won't work in ulysses, ks

oh yeah, and as of sat night..
i'm freakin sober....
and it sucks

Stealth - You took the weakest possible argument for not smoking pot. I thought you were smarter than that.

Are you going to seriously sit there and tell me that you never do anything illegal?

Jesus are you serious!?? I just lost what respect I had for you. You really think that just because something is deemed illegal that it's automatically wrong? Well, you'd better re-write the history books so George Washington is shown to be the immoral criminal he really is. You'd better get out there and tell all the women who vote that they're wrong for doing so since it wasn't legal some years ago. Hell man, why don't you just go down to the town square and demand that Slave Auctions start back up again! Or maybe you should go out and support the abortion clinics since it's legal to get an abortion.

Just because something is legal/illegal has little bearing on its innate "rightness" or "wrongness". That's why laws change, because people's idea of what's right and wrong change all the time.

Long story short, get off your high (no pun intended) horse and quit judging people.

crash_lucky13: I wish you luck man, once you get past the first week you'll feel a little better. Just don't go hitting the bottle to make up for it!

Have you thought about looking for another job a little closer? Don't take the job just for the $$, especially if you'll be working with family. Sometimes that can be harder than you'd expect.

Talk to your wife, and make the decision together.

If you feel you've made the wrong choice, you probably did. I once accepted a job in Detroit, didn't sleep for 2 days, called them back and said "sorry, can't do it" and immediately felt a million times better. Two months later I landed my current job and love it!

Crash, that is a toughy but I'd stay with the wifey. I usually don't suggest that over career advancement but since you married her I assume you love her. I don't know how much she's gone but you are young and I'd guess other opportunities will come your way soon. Unfortunately these days so many couples have to make this type of decision. My girl and I have put off kids up until now due to similar type of issues. Good luck.

Stealth, isn't your exhuast system an offroad version from Roush? Isn't that illegal? Just messing with you but couldn't resist.

news flash, for 40 bucks you could smoke every night for 3 months. Doubt 13 bucks a month is going to make up for the extra pay.

Don't worry -- I'm sure there are a lot of boys at the Air Force base who will take real good care of your wife for you while you're away......

i know i know, and trust me, that is playing one really big part in my decision...

the amount spent on green monthly.... roughly $80 a month (and for those of you about to chew my butt on the amount of money, just remember, that's roughly 16 packs of cigarettes, and about 16 white mocha cappucino with double shot from starbucks.....

THAT isn't the part i'm thinking about. i've done this work and i've worked with the people before... it just SUCKS living out of a suitcase...
