    I'd extend this to any use of heavy equipment, or any job that requires good memory or precise manipulation. And before you bother to say 'driving under the influence', I believe alcohol has very much proven that people will do stupid crap that's illegal.
    So you are reasoning that because driving or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of cannabis will eventually cause the death toll to rise? I will be so bold to say that you are mistaken. It is far easier to find pot in most high schools than alcohol - think failure of prohibition. Considering being stoned while driving isn't nearly as dangerous as being drunk while driving, and both have been around just as long. I think your logic is rather faulty. Yes studies show that it can impair everything mentioned in that article....yet when was the last time you read about or heard about a fatal car accident because the driver was just "so stoned man". Yeah right. I am by no means trying to change your opinion or make you think cannibis is wonderful. Most cannibis based studies are largely misrepresented and skewed. The studies done in the 70s were on lab rats that were subjected to an air intake that was more parts cannibis than oxygen. No one smokes like that. Regardless, before you go bashing one of our nation's heroes for publicly supporting smoking...consider that most perspectives are based on bias and ignorance. You have every RIGHT to be mad at him for displaying "Stoned" in his screen name. Doesn't mean that makes you right.

    EDIT: Steve Jobs was an avid cannibis smoker. Guess he couldn't remember how to run one of the most successful IT companies of all time.... I live in Colorado where I would venture to guess that about 40% or more of the CEO's, surgeons and company owners smoke pot. I know this to be true specifically where I live. And guess what? The town isn't falling apart..and the average cost of a 2 bedroom condo is $2.3 million. I'm guessing smoking pot doesn't really hinder anyone's ability to operate a business successfully or perform a ground breaking surgery. (Vail's hospital is rated one of the highest in the world for orthopedics). Abuse is another topic entirely.

    Com'on guys. Enough with the argument. The laws show that weed is illegal in almost every place in the world Except if your licenced to grow for medical reasons or have a prescription to use.
    And I think we can all agree that if you enjoy it then that's fine but you "Shouldn't" promote it in a gamer tag or anywhere else because majority of the population does not smoke weed nor do they agree with it.
    And in 98% of north America its illegal so your promoting the fact your a delinquent and enjoy breaking the law. "Way to go"

    AND YES, 100%, WEED SMOKING CAN KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Why would you be so ignorant to think it can't?

    Look guys, I don't care if you smoke weed, crack, ice or anything else/ Just don't brag about it because although you may be a great person, most will look at you like an ***. Also, and I hope you will remember this when time applies, but I myself, at 42 years old, may not see my little girl graduate because of smoking. Shes 9 years old tomorrow. Its a very sad thing indeed.
    But I will say that today marks the 15th day of smoke free living and I feel great. Although I could eat a pack of smokes right now or tear someones head off!!! LOL
    Just think sometimes. You never know who you may be affecting when you say or do something that you know not everyone agrees with.
    NOW!!!!! As far as stoned soldier. You guys that think he means stoned as in weed smoking is totally wrong. Being stoned is a very very crude form of punishment given out to those that broke the law many many years ago. And its not used today and that's why I think the younger gen haven't heard about it.

    [02:03:40 PM] End-user: o also does the "ark salvage per hour go towards equipment/loot that you salvage?
    [02:04:03 PM] End-user: as that is the main way i gain ark salvage
    [02:04:22 PM] End-user: i have 128 inventory slots to store lots of loot to salvage
    [02:04:59 PM] GM Hruska: You can get Ark Salvage from some side missions, I do believe, I don't have an exhaustive list of all the ways you can earn it, unfortunately.
    [02:05:29 PM] End-user: thats fine i just was curious as to what methods of getting ark salvage go towards the contest
    [02:06:16 PM] End-user: as i think the most beneficial way to get large amounts of salvage would be breaking down equipment if that goes towards it i have a high chance of winning said contest
    [02:07:12 PM] GM Hruska: I believe any methods by which you can obtain it are valid.
    [02:07:49 PM] End-user: ok thanks nice to know i have a chance

    And now your quoted post contradicts what this GM had said about breaking stuff down its stuff like this that ticks me off about the game not the bugs none of that its the lack of communication skills between there own employees....there are a large amount of pc bots running 24/7 and hacks and crap if they are running what chance do the rest of us really have its depressing.

    Source please? SMOKING weed in abundant excess under certain conditions can cause health conditions that could kill you, that we can agree on. I didn't say it couldn't kill you. The odds are very slim however. And the smoke free living you are talking about, must be from smoking 100% LEGAL tobacco...I won't be so rude as to make comments about health risks and lack of pity...even though you want to 'EAT a pack of smokes right now'. Wow. All I was attempting to bring to light was the ignorance in the original person's comment about the OP being a teenager toting "Stoned Soldier". To each their own.

What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business, but keep it in your home. =)
    so everything I am not ok with, in your reasoning should also not be done in public. just want to make sure that we live in America still, because last I checked life, LIBERTY and the pursuit of Happiness is what America is about. is what makes me happy the same as you? or vice versa. Looks like we could all put on our striped pajamas, shave our heads and only eat rice and vegetables because we don't want to OFFEND anyone.

    well that is horrible that you went to live chat just for that, the answer was clearly in the contest rules, https://www.defiance.com/en/most-wanted-contest-rules/. and to everyone else on this "Stoned Soldier" I am me, you are you. Name your characters and I will name mine. other than that. Have a great mothers day.

    Excuse me while I laugh myself silly. You want on the show and they conspired against you to keep you off of it? LOL The only conspiracy is the drop rate of orange weapons and them only coming out of lock boxes from MS points which come from real money people should be paying their bills with.
