How long until marijuana is legal in the military?

Don't count on it.

NEVER.

The real question is: "Has military personnel matured enough to handle the responsibility"? What led to the drug testing policy in 1982 was the complete disregard to the Navy's policy of not using while aboard ship or on base. Of course the Navy's policy of "what you do on the beach is your business, just don't do it on base/ship" goes against good order and discipline when you tell them its okay to break the law, just don't do it on my ship. Now if it becomes legal and the sailors understand the laws of when and where you can partake and the military's policy on alcohol and drug abuse then I believe it just might work.

Like alcohol marijuana can impair judgement. The effects of alcohol are out of the human system in 12 to 48 hours. The effects of marijuana may remain in the system for up to three weeks and may be compounded by further use during that time. Marijuana should not be legalized in the military, ever.

My guess would be at least another ten years. I was never a user and don't plan on ever doing so, but it's about time it gets legalized nationwide, to include the military. We're always behind the times on most things—well, the Marine Corps is, anyway. If anything, legalization in the military could equal more tax revenue to help fund essential things in our military. Just sayin'...

Its already legal through the VA system for some major treatments on vets with PTSD.

Never. Don't need that shit in our military. A majority of soldiers can't even handle alcohol for shit sake.

One more item to add to my previous comment: There are no devises on market to evaluate the user of drugs. There is one for alcohol. So short of one knowing the signs of drug use, there is no way to determine a person on drugs.

I hope never. Reading a research from Columbia University, using data from six states: California, Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. Toxicology test on drivers iinvolded in fatal car accidents, 23,500 drivers died within one hour of accident (1999-2010): Alcohol related was about 40%; drugs & alcohol was about 28% (2010) This was 18% over 1999. A person under alcohol is 13 times more likely to have accident than non alcohol related accident; Person with alcohol/drugs is 24 times more likely to have accident. This study was published online in American Journal of Toxicology. Therefore, sorry kids, but drugs are out. I saw the result of drugs in Nam. Lives are to valuable to be influenced by drugs, during combat, or in area of possible combat situation in any service. Others depend on your performance. If you let them down, they die as well as you. Another words, the life you save maybe your own & your buddies. think about this.

Not until it is federally legalized, but with so many states legalizing it I can see it get to the point where the military will be struggling to get recruited unless it allows it
