Q. This news comes from The New Haven Register - Our Governor is going to make sure that all Illegal
imagrents get Drivers Licenses in other words you don't have to Live here or be born here to drive any car, or truck of your choice. Thanks to the backing and wanting of Obama!!! I wonder what's next.!!!!!!


Answer
Would you like some cheese with your whine?

Foreign passport with Employment Authorization document has always been enough to obtain a drivers license or ID card in Connecticut. Ie. the governor doesn't even have to do anything for DACA beneficiaries to be able to obtain CT documents.

In addition, Real ID act of 2005 lists "Deferred action" as an immigration status eligible to obtain a temporary state ID or drivers license.

Also wrong, deferred action for childhood arrivals is limited to a specific group of illegal immigrants, in nutshell the requirements are as follows:
1) Arrived in US before turning 16
2) Finished a US high school or obtained a GED or be currently enrolled in a school or be a honorable discharged veteran of US armed forces
3) Have no more than 2 minor misdemeanors, no significant misdemeanors, no felonies
4) Have lived in US since at least June 15th 2007
5) Have been physically present in US on June 15th 2012
6) Have been in US illegally as of June 15th 2012
So no, its not "all illegal imagrents" (sic).

More over, CT requires 2 proofs of CT residency for one to obtain ID or a Drivers License. So if a DACA beneficiary decides to move to CT and establish residency there then yes they will be able to get ID or DL from CT.

Also most recent DACA statistics (Nov 15th 2012). Doesn't even put CT in top 10 of all states, Virginia who ranked 10th had 5,886 applicants.

Here's a list of ID requirements to get a CT ID, Permit, or Drivers License:
http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?a=805&Q=244772&PM=1

Primary: Foreign Passport w/ Supporting Documents
Supporting: Employment Authorization card
Secondary: Social Security Card
Social Security: Social Security Card
CT residency: Utility bill and bank statement

Above documents are enough to already get a CT document.


Now what's next? Obviously comprehensive immigration reform.

If you are with people who get caught smoking marijuana, but you were not, what happens?




Mo


Basically, my boyfriend and all his friends smoke, but I won't even touch the stuff. What would happen if they were smoking, and I was with them, and they get caught? Would I get in any trouble?
Same goes with alcohol, since they drink, and I don't.
By the way, we are all underage.
Because I find nothing wrong with smoking weed, it doesn't make people who do terrible.



Answer
Nothing will happen unless you are in a car and none of the other occupants claim the weed during a police stop- in which case you can also be charge with possession.

Cannabis was banned because people started using it as a drug to get them intoxicated and it made the users lazy and odd.

Over the last 10 years we are beginning to learn about the effects of cannabis use on the human body. Because of cannabis we have learned about tissues in the body that respond to the specific drugs the plant produces, and in a limited set of circumstances they may have therapeutic properties. But for most users some of the effects are listed below:
Here are some of them, it is not a complete list, because Yahoo limits the length of answers:
What lung conditions is cannabis linked to? The report says that although cannabis is the worldâs most widely used illicit drug, there is surprisingly little research into its effects on lung health, with far less about the effects of cannabis smoke than tobacco smoke. However, it says there is now research showing that the active component, THC, can suppress the immune system and that cannabis smokers may be at risk of: respiratory problems such as chronic coughing, wheezing, sputum production, acute bronchitis, airway obstruction infective lung conditions such as tuberculosis and Legionnaireâs disease pneumothorax (collapsed lung) lung cancer - one study, which was widely quoted in the papers, suggested that smoking just one cannabis cigarette a day for one year increases the risk of developing lung cancer by a similar amount to smoking 20 tobacco cigarettes for the same period. It concluded that 5% of lung cancers in those aged 55 or under may be caused by smoking cannabis. However, the report points out that there is a lack of conclusive evidence as to the possible effect that smoking cannabis has on lung function and the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). There is evidence that smoking cannabis with tobacco leads to a greater risk of COPD than smoking tobacco alone.

"Driving after smoking even a small amount of marijuana almost doubles the risk of a fatal highway accident, according to an extensive study of 10,748 drivers involved in fatal crashes between 2001 and 2003â. - http://alcoholism.about.com/od/pot/a/pot_driving.htm

Marijuana smoke was listed as a cancer-causing agent by California on June 19, 2009

Britain's most senior coroner is warning that hundreds of young people are dying in accidents caused by their prolonged use of cannabisâ¦.The dangers of cannabis were highlighted in research published last month, which showed a sharp increase in drug-related deaths. According to the European Centre for Addiction Studies at St George's Hospital Medical School in London, in 2002, British coroners cited cannabis as the major cause of death in 18 out of 853 drug-related deaths. The drug was also implicated in a further 31 out of 1,579 deaths involving a cocktail of drugs. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1445718/Cannabis-use-causes-hundreds-of-deaths-a-year-coroner-warns.html

Teens who routinely smoke marijuana risk a long-term drop in their IQ - http://news.yahoo.com/teen-pot-linked-later-declines-iq-192328332.html?_esi=0&bcmt=1346127366859-cc6205f3-31b2-4ebb-ac93-708fbfc37af9&bcmt_s=u#ugccmt-container-b
âPre-natal marijuana exposure had persistent negative effects through age 16 on higher-order thinking, including problem solving, memory, planning, impulsivity, and attention.â

Long-term heavy cannabis use in healthy individuals is associated with smaller cerebellar white-matter volume similar to that observed in schizophrenia. Reduced volumes were even more pronounced in patients with schizophrenia who use cannabis. Cannabis use may alter the course of brain maturational processes associated with schizophrenia. http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=8389504

Our findings indicate long-term cannabis use is hazardous to the white matter of the developing brain. Delaying the age at which regular use begins may minimize the severity of microstructural impairment. - http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/135/7/2245.short
Recent research from the past 5 years has shown that marijuana exposure during pregnancy has been associated with anencephaly, a non-sustaining life condition where a large part of the skull or brain is absent, neurobehavioral deficiencies, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities and memory impairment in toddlers and 10 year olds, as well as neuropsychiatric conditions, including depression, aggression and anxiety, in teens. - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/08/120815103000.htm
