NASA doesn't drug test because they have a "unique workforce." [/ QUOTE ] Awesome I don't smoke marijuana (ok maybe like a couple of times ever) but it's good to know not everyone will believe hype. Sure, the hype may end up being right, but don't believe it just cause they said it.

If any of you are high when you play poker online, and if you play for any meaningful stakes, then you are suckers doomed to go bust. Same if you get drunk and play. [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure Gank who simply is one of the best online tourney players will disagree with this.

-actually it does matter what kind of pot you smoke. Lower quality "shwag" lasts longer in the body. It has more of the cannibinoids sp? that get you "stoned" and not "high". Higher quality marijuana has a better chance of leaving your system faster. [/ QUOTE ] This is the stuff you should watch out for - internet advice with no source and no science. In fact it dosen't even make sense. Marijuana 'quality' is directly related to its % delta-9-THC, the most potent cannabinoid in pot. One thing people have hit on that i'd reiterate is that marijuana is not immediately destroyed or excreted like some drugs, but it is stored in fat, and therefore the more you smoke/eat/vaporize (all the same), the more gets stored and the longer it takes to leave your system (by seeping out into blood and then being filtered into urine). Also, on the topic of driving, playing poker high - I do agree with prana that I'd prefer to have high people than drunk people, since marijuana actually decreases risk taking behaviour while alcohol increases it. Don't know which you need for your poker style tho.

[/ QUOTE ] you're exactly right but you're still missing the point that there are other cannabinoids than delta-9-thc. These are more abundant in lower quality marijuana while having lower content of delta-9-thc. I didn't know I had to source every bit of information I passed along. I did this research over 10 years ago and am sure it is available on the internet. If I am REALLY bored I may look around but frankly I don't care if you believe me or not so...............

Re: Myth Busters: Marijuana aka Pot aka Mary Jane aka etc.
When I got my first prop job in 2000 in a CA casino, I asked my new boss if I could have a few weeks to clear the drugs from my system before taking his manditory drug test. He said OK. Three weeks later, I passed the piss test and have been stoned on the job ever since. In 5 years, I've probably only had six losing months. I've had no losing months since playing exclusively on the internet.

[/ QUOTE ] Not the best "source" refering to drug tests but still states my point, plus i have class in the a.m. so i am going to bed. It should be known though that drug tests test for ALL cannibinoids, not just delta-9-thc. Here ya go [ QUOTE ] THC (tetra-hydro-cannibol) is one of over 400 cannibols present in the cannabis plant and is responsible for the 'high' associated with smoking cannabis. It is present in all cannabis plants, male and female but in varying quantities. Canabis with a low THC content will have a weak effect. The other cannibols present will be responsible for a heavy, sleepy stoned effect. [/ QUOTE ] from: Link

Re: Myth Busters: Marijuana aka Pot aka Mary Jane aka etc.
We should do a field study with some Vegas locals [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'll get a 2+2 game going at the Wynn with a couple of smokers I know. Anyone interested?
