Many a noob has gotten fucked up by thinking "I don't feel anything, must not have worked. Let's eat some more"

so, there was this time in college when my buddy decided he would make some giant cookies.

how do you guys smoking weed not get fired?

Get fired as in getting really stoned fired? or fired as in loose your job? It sucks it can be legal in your state but your employer can still fire you. Only congress can fix that, I'm sure the newest member of the senate will jump right in and fix that ~

And besides no one here smokes weed illegally. amiright?

Canada doesn't do random drug tests for the vast majority of jobs. I am the manager of a retail store. Work full time. Put in lots of long hours.

Even when I worked fast food we were subject to random drug tests and any time anyone got injured they immediately got drug tested. I have zero desire to use marijuana, but it's absurd that it's still illegal, especially while alcohol is legal.

What TF is that? Hash? No one should be allowed to own that much dope. It's just not fair to the rest of us.

That's just fucking retarded. The only jobs that do drugs tests here are ones where public safety may be of concern. For example if you operate heavy machinery, work in law enforcement, etc. I've never heard of drug tests for anything else. Indeed I haven't really even heard of drug tests period although I do understand that some jobs here require them as I mentioned.

I never understood the attraction of smoking weed for the following reasons:

1. Always been illegal in every state I've lived in.
2. Limits job opportunities.
3. Health problems from inhaling smoke (of any kind) into lungs.
4. Too many users don't know where to draw the line between using it responsibly at home vs driving or going to work high.
4. Kinda got soured by the stupid argument that smoking pot is better than drinking alcohol or using harder drugs. It may very well be, but it's not exactly a healthy choice. The only exception would be prescribed medical marijuana for actual medical problems. My little brother has a medical pot card and has absolutely nothing wrong with him. I would hazard a guess that a good portion of "medical" marijuana cards are held by folks who have nothing wrong with them and just like to smoke pot.
5. Ratios of folks I've personally met who's lives are better from smoking weed vs lives are worse due to smoking weed is like 1:100. This is said after a career as a journalist having met a crap-ton of folks from all walks of life who smoke weed.

Still, I think it and many other drugs should be legalized. We're not doing our society any favors by criminalizing casual drug use. If you want to use pot then go ahead, but understand you have a responsibility to not let your recreational drug use negatively effect the rest of us. No smoking in public or driving, going to work, etc. while under the influence.

In the end, who the fuck am I or law enforcement or the government to tell you not to smoke weed if you can do so while remaining an otherwise law-abiding, self-support, productive member of society.

I agree you have a right to smoke pot, but not if it makes you a safety concern for your employer. I manage a concessions operation. If you do something stupid to injure yourself in my kitchen and fail a drug test you are both fired and we're not picking up the tab for your workplace injury.

Smoke pot all you want but be responsible about it.

yeah, that's always been my experience and is one thing that makes me wary of it. everyone i know who smokes weed makes just enough money to buy weed. they don't save a dime.
