Do you think the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado will result in users being more likely to be honest about it, allowing for better care?

Stay off the roads in Washington and Colorado.
Dope heads ducking and weaving........

Is it possible you could have AMS or <LOC? Sure. But does it really make much of a difference in someone other than a COPD'er? at the acute level. How?
Permalink Reply by dr-exmedic on November 18, 2012 at 2:22pm Are people lying about their pot use to you all that much? I've never really had anyone that I suspected of it *not* admit it, and I've had plenty of people cop to it even when I didn't suspect.
Of course, since MJ doesn't typically cause any acute problems besides hunger, I don't know that it really matters. I've never seen a "marijuana overdose," if such a thing actually exists.
