420 friendly turkey hunting partner

[Smossy]

I thought this was a joke.  Are we talking hunting with a firearm here?  Then you should realize that smoking marijuana makes you a prohibited person under the GCA 68.  This is not a moral judgment.  The inference to the fact that I thought it was a joke, besides the obvious safety issues, is because I question the judgment to pose such a question, if, indeed, we are talking firearms possession.

I dont see anywhere he said he was going to physically kill something while under the influence but i could be wrong. From what ive read hes more like looking for a partner to go out with and maybe camp with someone 420 friendly. Someone who may just not take offense to him lighting one up. But again thats not said anywhere everything is just up for assumption.d

I'll admit I only scanned after reading the thread title, which does solicit a 420 friendly hunting partner.  It's hard to not read into that the intention of smoking and hunting, but maybe that came in later elaboration.  The only question I posed was is this going to be with a firearm.  If so, I am not game to go hunting associate with a hunter willing to readily commit a felony, especially one that impacts the right to keep and bear arms, regardless of how asinine I may think the laws may be.

Yeah, maybe his best bet would be to edit his description and explain what hes trying to do alittle better. Otherwise this is going to be a looooong thread lol

And after reading the thread, I wish the OP luck in his quest, and I thank him for his service.  I feel for the people caught between the ridiculous patchwork of federal and state laws regarding MJ and GCA, but until they change, I'll steer clear.

As are individuals who are prescribed most sleep aids such as Ambian, anti-depressants, mood medication and those that drink four beers every night.

Because all those individuals are addicts

I can't wait till this shows up on an antihunting forum. Not a great idea to post this.

Well here's a thought. If all liberals are the pot smoking hippies that some on this forum think they are, maybe making pot a part of elk camp might get some of them to stop being so anti-gun and anti-hunting. 
 

Maybe even cure some vegans by getting them stoned at camp and then telling them "Sorry only food we have is meat." 

I have nothing against smoking pot and voted for the end of its prohibition. And, I am certainly pro-hunting. However, looking on an open forum for another who smokes it so you can go hunting together leaves the impression these guys will be hunting while intoxicated, true or not. I was making the observation that its another validation for the anti-gun crowd that gun owners are wacked out and dangerous. No judgments on this OP. Just the observation of how this looks to the general public.

True.

Imagine the thread "Booze friendly turkey hunting partner sought."

[Bob33]

Juat make sure you have your pass with you.

[ICEMAN]

Bob, you have way too much free time on your hands...

[wildmanoutdoors]

Make sure your not on NF land when you pass the peace pipe around the campfire. 

 
Federal officers and prosecutors are still going after marijuana offenses.

Lol, Not a half gram, personal use offence.

Yes they are. The US Attorney's Offices for Western WA, Eastern WA, and Colorado have directed federal officers to still cite/arrest for ANY marijuana. This includes medical.

Lol, like they dont have better things to do. Yes, I know they have been directed. And I know its still not legal on a fed standpoint, but lets look at it from Earth now, not Mars. When I see black helo's flying above Elk camp Ill quit hunting...

Great............Now it will be as bad as waterfowling.    Excuse me Hippy Hunter, I need to see your State Med Card and your Federal card.  Could you please carefully remove your stash so I can check to see if you have lead...I mean home grown and not more then three dubbies in that there fanny pack!! 
And is your subscription to NRA......I mean High Times current???

Dude theirs a turkey, hehehe.  Should we shoot it, no way mann let's see if we can bait it on over with twinkies.  Dude that's awesome.  The only couple in the woods with "Cronic" camo pattern.

Hunt...in short no. Some that smoke may be impaired after a bowl.. Maybe not. Sime that drink can be impaired by a single beer, maybe not. For me it all about knowibg your substance, knowing yourself, and handling both resposibly.

That's the crux of it right there. A lot of guys have a different opinion regarding the levels of intoxication of pot and booze because they are personally familiar with one and not the other. I’ve never smoked weed with much frequency and when I do it highly affects me. I don’t trust myself to make popcorn on the stove when I’m on it. However, and I’m not proud of this, I can drive home perfectly fine after a fairly irresponsible amount of liquor. It’s probably because, like most of you, I starting drinking in high school and never stopped. I know the effects on my body and how to control it. Many guys smoke a lot and have a similar amount of control over themselves when they’re on it.

That being said, I think being intoxicated while hunting is very irresponsible, whatever the substance. When the day is done? Go for it. In that regard, there is  no difference between smoking up and drinking beer.

For all the naysayers on this guy. Need to just shut your mouth and stop being hypocrits talking about "how bad it is for you" while you shove your mouth full of artery clogging fastfoods and high quantities of salt. Get real. Give the guy a break, atleast hes willing to be open and honest about the situation unlike alot of you people, people who are completely closed minded and hide behind your computers and think anything that you dont do...is wrong... thanks... have a nice day.

Well said.
Your both welcome at my camp.

If we are talking abuse of prescription meds, perhaps. As a general proposition, however, this is wrong.
