Reply to Curious about mental health in Pennsylvania and the acceptance of therapy. by AlternativePanic444

My therapist either doesn't take insurance or doesn't take my insurance so I pay out of pocket. In my case, it's worth it because I have genuinely benefited so much from it. But that might be something to consider, as it is considered a luxury to a lot of people to go to therapy. As others have said as well, it's VERY hard to find someone who is accepting new patients. I started with her around a year and a half ago and I only found her after I reached out to literally a dozen other therapists who turned me down. God bless the broken road tho i guess

Reply to Questions about transferring antique vehicle plates in PA. by UltraShadowArbiter

I found this fact sheet

https://www.dot.state.pa.us/public/dvspubsforms/BMV/BMV%20Fact%20Sheets/fs-ant.pdf

which led to this form

https://www.dot.state.pa.us/Public/DVSPubsForms/BMV/BMV%20Forms/mv-11.pdf

I find it interesting that the form does not ask for insurance info.

I know you said this was a transfer of owners, and these forms might not apply but if this form is not asking for insurance, I don’t see why a transfer would but since I am not 100% sure, you can contact penn dot

Aside from preference, do you think it's ok? Most studies show intoxication and impairment from marijuana (two different things) vary widely between individuals, with product strength, means of ingestion, regularity of use, etc., all being factors. I would prefer someone with a habitual high alcohol tolerance to drive drunk, rather than a new years eve rookie, but they're still dui.

I was quite literally asking your thought. I don’t condone impaired driving whatsoever, but the system in place isn’t designed to truly help people who get DUI’s. All that aside, we do have breathalyzers to measure BAC..fairly accurately. Field sobriety tests certainly help but seem significantly more open to opinion rather than fact. How do we find out if you just smoked an hour ago versus 5 days ago, a month ago. How far does government have to be up our ass? All things to consider

I’d like to point out, if you are convicted of driving under influence of a controlled substance (marijuana in this case), the mandatory minimum is 12 month license suspension, 72 hours in hours in prison, and $1000 fine along with safety school classes and treatment if recommended. In the alternative if you’re offered ARD, your going to lose your license for 60 days and pay easily over $1500 in fines, court costs, etc. This is ridiculous considering the police do not use any reliable tests to determine impairment. Standardized Field Sobriety Tests were created to test for alcohol impairment and NOT marijuana impairment. The current Field sobriety tests are unreliable when it comes to an indication of marijuana impairment and people with a prescription are paying the high price of a DUI charge for seeking a non pharmaceutical alternative.
