Re: Drugs on the road...
Yep, but does the dose/response include time since ingestion, or just peak effect? If it does, then we should be able to formulate laws which reflect that. Unfortunately, due to the "drugs bad!!" mentality, I think these tests would be used to prove presence alone, and not effect. What do you think...

Re: You will learn tolerance respect and understanding!
I think what this boils down to is one culture is feeling pushed out for another. It is similar to things that are happening in the US with respect to immigrants, illegal and otherwise, and how we respond to them. People are sensitive to seeing their own culture being engulfed and will react accord...

Re: Elena Kagan?
Elena F***ing Kagan??!?!?! Nigga pleeze! Oh well, so much for restoring a liberal wing to the Court. ETA: GAH!

Re: Philosophy? Piece of cake...
Has anyone done a study on famous philosophers and seen whether they were above the norm in the weight stakes? The ones I can think of were generally pretty lean. Although in one of the dialogues Socrates mentions that he hopes to lose weight by dancing. Tycho Brahe was famously fat but not a philo...

Re: Drugs on the road...
That was my understanding too. And lets not forget the problem is not that detection is possible or not, it's that the effects of the drug detected are not quantifiable. That depends on the drug. For most drugs you can establish a dose/response curve which gives a good correlation between titre and...

Re: Drugs on the road...
That's why I was asking. The site I found says the test will detect pot for four hours and speed for 24 hours. Is this bullshit just to lull people into not protesting, and would it really detect drugs that had been taken several days before? I don't know about this specific test but ... By commonl...
