---> Actually, it was the 'brainchild' of a parent who went to his State Senator and made a request. So perhaps you should find out the party affiliation of the parent.

No , it was idiot constituent whining to idiot politician that his ex MAY have been using drugs instead of GOING TO COURT . The BILL was the idiot politician's idea .

Since when do politicians listen to constituents anyways? The onus is on the dummy who actually puts forth the bill to enact it into law.

"Anything illegal, any quantity of it. It isn't illegal to drink, in any quantity, AS LONG AS, you don't drive intoxicated. So, any drug defined as illegal, in any quantity of it."
So what you are saying is that the parent who spends the child support on ALCOHOL is okay, but the parent who smokes a little pot they bought themselves, say on the weekends the kids are with the NCP, shouldn't get child support? Seems kinda silly and not really in the best interest of the law.

I agree with GR8. To lump pot in with the drugs like meth and heroin is silly. Pot is FAR less destructive than alcohol for example. Pot will never cause the social problems and destruction that alcohol has (and continues to). I smoked pot recreationally for years, held down a responsible job, never drove under the influence (of pot or alcohol), and was a fine parent to my daughter (now 19). And no, I never smoked pot around her.
Nobody ever smoked a joint and went home and beat the crap out of their loved ones (unless they would do so anyways without pot - in which case pot might still mellow them out a little). I can't say the same for alcohol. I've known many people who turn into absolute monsters when they drink and become violent.
Pot isn't a drug that someone is going to break into your house because they need their next "fix". It is non-addictive physically (can't say the same for alcohol - people can die from severe alcohol withdrawal).
The fact that pot is illegal is a stupid law IMO. Like I said, alcohol is FAR more destructive (and I'm not in favour of making alcohol illegal either).
I'd rather see tobacco be made illegal:) Horrible stuff that.

I do not think you need to make any definitions or judgements, just follow the law as far as legality.

Right. And Democrats would never sponsor 'idiot' bills...like Democratic Congressman Bob Brady's bill to ban 'cross-hairs' maps or Democrat Nina Turner's bill that before getting a prescription for [censored] or other erectile dysfunction drugs, men would have to see a sex therapist, receive a cardiac stress test and get a notarized affidavit signed by a sexual partner affirming impotency.

Ah, so why not test EVERYBODY in the country, and JAIL those that fail?
