Boy, you really are not in touch with reality. MJ is not as safe as you think. But keep telling yourself whatever you have to in order to justify your habit.

Oh, and btw, there are people who exist who break NO laws, ever. And certainly never on purpose.

He said it doesnt "kill".
How is he "out of touch"?
Do you have some facts to back up your claim?

Same rules would apply as with alcohol... 21 and older, not at work, etc. What do you think?
I think that an employer has every right to test for whatever drugs they want to. The company you work for gets to make the rules; if you can't (or won't) follow them, then you shouldn't be surprised if you're let go.

Good point on #2.

Thank you for acknowledging the fact that drugs have little to do with whether or not a person is a "loser".

This has nothing to do with what's legal or not. This has everything to do with the rights of a private company. And like it or not, they have a right to spy on you, random tests on you for whatever, and limit your civil liberties. And guess what? It's legal for them to do seemingly illegal things without court orders! When you say you are truly a slave to your job, you truly are.
