No, he's a dick because he chose to withhold information from his customer. Apparently you disagree, but a quick read through that thread shows most think a decent person would lower the price/inform the buyer of their concerns.
I've seen, and sent home, way more people due to being drunk/hungover than I ever have from them being high and this is in a city where it is pretty much legal, and during tenures in two very different industries.
We don't track this, but if I had to hazard a guess, the number of man hours we lose to booze is over 10x as high (probably higher) than the man hours we lose to any "illegal" substances like pot, etc.
I'm not condoning being high at work, I don't think anyone should be taking drugs of any kind (except prescribed meds, which are a whole other ball of wax really) including booze, while under someone's employ, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of it all.

who said smoking weed is stupid? It's a lot less stupid than drinking alcohol or smoking cigarrettes (or eating a big mac really)
1) Yes it is. It's illegal, so it's clearly more stupid. You can not be arrested for being in possession of alcohol/cigarettes (per se).
2) You're clearly claiming that since you morally find pot ok, then it's ok, but still then, why would it be a lot less stupid than alcohol?
Sure you can.

That's why I said per se. Possession of them isn't going to get you arrested providing you aren't breaking any other law (under age, open containers, while driving, etc.).

1. Relative health effects
2. Amount of intoxication when consumed
3. RESULTS of intoxication
4. Pot is welcomed by the body. Alcohol is rejected by the body.

possession won't get you arrested(citation only) in many parts of this country either. So again not certain thats a fair comparison.
Not sure why you guys are arguing over this. His employer doesn't want a pot head working for them. Plain and simple. Who gives a shit about the legality of smoking weed or your opinion. It's black and white.
I just checked this and it sure as heck still contains pseudoephedrine. I really hope some guy supporting the war on drugs gets his ass fired because he tests positive for meth and doesn't understand why.Sudafed hasn't contained pseudoephedrine since like '04.
Poppy seeds will produce false positives for opioids.
A lot of people think drugs are welcome in the body just because the body has receptors for drugs. Nicotine even has receptors named after it; they are called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Sure nicotine has its special receptors, just like marijuana does, but that doesn't make nicotine any less poisonous. Heroin affects opioid receptors, and yes they're actually named after opium.Pot is welcomed by the body? Were you high when you wrote that? Seriously?
insurance co. offer steep discounts to employers who drug test i.e. pre employment,random and prob.cause. The feds require it for all safety sensitive emp. and the definition of safety sensitive gets expanded every year to include more employees. Rest assured there is a drug test awaiting all of you in the future. Driver license will require it before long just like commercial truckers must submit to maintain a DL.

Smoking anything is not the best idea.
However, no i was not high.
My brother smoked a lot of pot when I was growing up and I was very against it (and everything really, I was stuck up). My senior year I did a research paper on it, and everything I found out turned my opinion on it. Since then, I've been very pro legalization since I realized is relatively harmless.
Eating weed is absolutely harmless. And the stuff that makes you high, THC, your brain actually has receptors for it. So yea, your body welcomes it. Google it. Who'da thunk right?

Some of use don't like the idea of giving up our personal freedoms for a job just because some assholes want more money. You implying someone is a "pot head" for failing a drug test just shows your ignorance. As long as it hurts no one else, what I do on my own time is my business. If I'm not doing my job well enough, or at all, then we have a situation.
Plain and simple.
Coming from a pro pot website. That is like asking a republican what is bad about the GOP.
You get in a car high and drive then it is my business.
