billvon 3,079 #26 April 4, 2012 >First off, is MJ legal in Norway? If it is then the grounding is inappropriate. Alcohol is legal here. But still, if someone brings beer onto a DZ against the owner's wishes, they might just find themselves not welcome there any more. >If it is not legal, the DZO has the absolute right to restrict it's usage on >his property. And if it IS legal he has that right too. A DZO can absolutely say "no beer on my DZ." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 60 #27 April 5, 2012 Oh, I get what you are saying, and yes the DZO can restrict what he pleases on his property. I was making an unfair comparison of legal booze and legal MJ. He could also ban sex and purple underwear, too. As with anything, enforcing it is another issue. eta: I got the ration from the part of the post I didn't expect. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckakers 426 #35 April 5, 2012 QuoteKilled from the effects of marijuana: “None” While I have nothing against the recreation use of pot, your statement doesn't hold water - bong or otherwise. Potheads often do stupid shit and most I know will admit it. To say no one has ever died mindlessly driving through a red light while jamming to Dark Side of the Moon or some other similar screw up is simply disingenuous. Even in skydiving there have been fatalities in which tests proved marijuana use within a short time before the incident. Could it be that the jumper would have made the same errors if straight. Of course, but the same could be said for a guy that blows DWI after a crash. I have no opinion on the OP's post as I don't know anything about the legal system in Norway.

kallend 2,108 #43 April 5, 2012 Quote Killed from the effects of marijuana: “None” Wrong! Chicago Tribune, September 12, 2002 A skydiving instructor who died in July while attempting to land on a pond at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa was seriously impaired by smoking marijuana within two hours of his death, according to a toxicology report released Wednesday. The report was made public an at inquest conducted by LaSalle County Coroner Jody Bernard into the death of Ronald Passmore Jr., 33, who died July 14 when he slammed chest first into the pond at the jump zone and died of a severed aorta. A coroner's jury declared the death accidental. He was the second instructor to die there this year and the second fatality since July 2001 in which drugs were found in the victim's system. The toxicology report, prepared by St. Louis University Hospital laboratory officials, showed Passmore's blood had a cannabis level about double that at which a person is considered impaired, according to laboratory director Dr. Christopher Long. "This (level in Passmore's blood) demonstrates relatively acute smoking within the last couple of hours before his death," said Long. This is serious impairment due to marijuana--cannabis--that would affect everything you could possibly use to skydive, particularly reaction time and depth perception."...

Arvoitus 1 #44 April 5, 2012 My understanding is that when people say 'nobody has ever been killed because of MJ' is that they mean that it hasn't killed anyone due to its toxicity not that it hasn't caused impairment in someone after which they've then done something stupid to get themselves killed.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Bip 0 #47 April 5, 2012 There are only a few Norwegian DZ's open now so guessing which one it is should not be a problem. Today my biggest concern in skydiving is being taken out by a hotshot in a small canopy. I dont want to go to a DZ where the hotshots might be potheads as well.

Bip 0 #49 April 5, 2012 Same applies. I would not enjoy being taken out by a guy with a hang over either. If I got injured by a guy with alcohol or drugs in his blood I would not be happy about it. I think that is fair. I have been around DZ's for 40 years so I am not unaware of what goes on. I have even done it myself. but nowdays the margin for error is greatly reduced with high speed skydiving and high speed canopy flight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
