Cannabis and the Hunt Camp

[Fox]

Not trying to stir any pots, pun somewhat intended.

I am curious though as to the opinions of the guys here, how will your hunt camp change if at all with it's bylaws with regards to the legalization of cannabis.

To me I would think that it would align somewhat with alcohol but more strict. When we go to camp we allow 1 drink at lunch but no more if you plan to hunt that afternoon. This may seem harsh to some that are heavier drinkers but it works similarly to the policy of use to drive a car, a blanket statement for safety.

I do not believe though that we will allow any cannabis during the day if the person wants to hunt the afternoon, at least not at the start. From those who I have been around who have smoked, I can see both those who would not be impaired at all by a few puffs but I also have been around those who would be very scary with a firearm after that same amount of smoke.

What are your thoughts?

I suspect we will have a similar stance; after the hunt; but not during.
It may be somewhat different now with the various forms available.
No expert; but wonder if the brownies, gummies or vape concoctions are more or less potent?

Problem I see is while it is an intoxicate similar to alcohol, non-users may not want to smell the smoke or get a contact high, provided the cannabis is smoked, from users (much like tobacco). Perhaps a use similar policy similar to alcohol (good to go after the guns are put away for the night or you don't go out if you consumed at lunch) combined with a location policy for tobacco (must smoke a certain distance from camp buildings) would work.

The various forms and strains do various things and for various times, this is probably the biggest issue with impairment.

Birds of a feather...

Most guys I know..it's not even a consideration. Anyone noticed most people who smoke don't really hang out with those who don't? Guys who drink regularly don't usually wind up in camps where it's one beer after dinner?

My main concern is the level of impairment, and what lasting effects are present? As of tomorrow I suppose one can read a label and know exactly how much THC they're consuming...ergo how off the beam they're going to be...but not unlike law enforcement....it's a real variable for all concerned.

Most of the guys who have to smoke pot at hunt camp, were probably smoking pot at hunt camp before it became legal.

You my friend is correct.

You nailed it.
I do not believe that many are going to take up smoking pot just because it is legal, but if they do in our camp go for it but after the hunt is over just like the booze.
Good topic Fox

It will be/has been treated the same as alcohol at our camp. Absolute zero during the days hunt, but once the rifles are put away people are free to do as they wish.

Nothing is going to change. Lots of people are preparing for the weedpocolype as if everyone is going to turn into raging potheads at midnight tonight. My policy is no pot during legal hunting hours until all firearms are cased for the day. After that I don't care provided people are safe ie not driving etc.
