TOOK IT. HOWEVER, RAGARDLESS OF THE STUDY’S RESULT IMPLICATIONS, PEOPLE WITH THEIR MINDS MADE UP RARELY ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE FACTS. DOES CANNABIS CONSUMPTION INVOLVE RISKS? YES, AS DOES VIRTUALLY ALL OTHER HUMAN ACTIVITY. THE POINT AT HAND IS, AM I GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE AS I CHOOSE, OR THE GOVERNMENT. MY DECISION, FOR WHICH I AM FULLY ACCOUNTABLE AND TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE, IS I AM GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE AS I CHOOSE WHILE NEVER VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. AS FOR THE GOVERNMENT, WHEN IT VIOLATES MY GOD-GIVEN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THE RIGHTS OF MY FELLOW CITIZENS IN A SUPPOSEDLY FREE COUNTRY, THAT GOVERNMENT CAN GO TAKE A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER. GOD BLESS ALL TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS.

Time to put presure on the President. He ran on the “change” platform,and legal marijuana sales would be the best change he could make for the economy. Not only can it be taxed but would also save money that presently go to prisoner upkeep and would actually give the police time to catch real criminals.

I still like the question about the airplane crash and limping…

Can you imagine the persons expression, someone who actually does have a limp from an airplane crash, when they read the question…

Talk about invoking paranoia! OMG, they are on to me, they have fingered me out!

I wonder if they are trying to see if airplane crash victims, with a limp, have a desire to take surveys, and use drugs…

Perhaps it was just a test, and you should be saying that you don’t limp from an airplane accident… as most people tend to run from them, as opposed to limping from them…

Reminds me of the riddle…

If an airplane crashes on the border of the US and Canada, where do you bury the survivors?

You don’t bury the survivors, they are still alive… and limping, I assume!

I am a medical marijauna patient. I have Fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, degenerative disc disease, colitis, and every thing my familys genetic makeup gave me. I am in chronic pain. My Dr said that for every pill that I don’t take for pain, my kidneys will last a little longer. Marijauna makes my pain tolerable and allows me to fall to sleep. My daughter has a felony for having a pot pipe in her car. A felony! Pot smokers don’t steal to buy pot, they don’t leave their families, and they aren’t violent. Pot doesn’t destroy your liver or other body organs. Stop giving the Cartels the power! Or is our Government getting kickbacks for keepng it illegal?
Prohibition ended decades ago and people drive drunk and kill people daily. Pot smokers stay home. Educate our legislature!

josh,

How can the question determine whether the person is paying attention or not? I’m sure there are people out there who do limp from an airplane accident. Hence, both true and false are correct. Are the survey designers really interested in whether the taker does limp from an airplane accident? I think not. It’s like asking whether you’ve had a limb bitten off by an alligator or not. How is it relevant to the survey?

Of course the question could also be interpreted to be hypothetical: “if I were to be in an airplane accident, would I limp?” Again, no one correct answer.

This is to voodoo, they add silly questions like that to make surebyou are reading the questions and not just marking “yes” or “no” for everything. I think there was a question like “are you alive?” on the test, and if you answered no then I’m sure they throw out all the questions you answered in statistical data.

MAN I HOPE THIS SURVEY WILL DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS INJUSTICE TO ALL THE AMERICANS THAT ARE ARRESTED EACH YEAR FOR POSESSION. GOOD PEOPLE THAT DO EVERYTHING RIGHT IN LIFE, BUT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WRONG AND IMMORAL. WHO ARE THEY TO DECIDE WHAT IS IMMORAL. I AM SUPRISED IT HAS NOT SNOWBALLED. SUGAR COULD BE LINKED TO HEART ATTACKS SO LETS OUTLAW CUPCAKES. GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO TAKE THE POWER TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW. LETS STAND UP TO THIS PEOPLE. SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS THAT THIS PISSES YOU OFF. THEY WORK FOR US NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

dave w…

How does the question, “I limp from an airplane accident” not have a correct answer?

Unless you have a limp from an airplane accident, the answer is no.

Am I missing something..
