I'd get fired from my job if I smoked it. They drug test operators frequently, so I wouldn't be able to work for more than a week before getting tested and fired.
Yeah, that applies vacuum.
...one of many reasons I've worked for myself most of my life.
a couple of yrs ago, I had a work place accident. I routinely work on construction sites as part of my job, its part office and part construction sites. Anyways, I was coming down from a roof, with the ladder that is attachted to the side of the bldg, its hard to explain, its just a service ladder attached to the bldg, anyways as I was coming down the ladder I slipped and missed the rung with my hand. I was up about 20 feet, I happend to fall straight down, if I had fell back I would be f ing dead, or at least paralyzed. I luckily was able to somehow grab back onto the ladder, I only sprained the hell out of my ankle and broke the tip of my finger amongst various other bruising.
The point is that I was drug tested, if I had failed I might have been fired and my medical costs wouldn't have been paid.

Understood. Of course, in that work environment you wouldn't / shouldn't be toking up beforehand - save it for Friday and Saturday night. Admittedly, though, the one bad thing about smoking is that it will show up on the test for a month.
We all make sacrifices and judgement calls. I think you'd be right in not partaking with a job like yours. I also just think it's sad, because the herb offers many insights and realizations...someday, hopefully soon, this country will assemble its fecal matter and legalize it across the board.

Its really quite silly that MJ isn't legal... I'm mean alcohol, which is a pretty bad drug, at least for some, its legal, but a little pot isn't.... IDK, I don't buy into it being a gateway drug.
If you use that logic then booze is a gateway drug...... Hell I've tried every drug known to man, but I only stick with the booze...... but to each his own........
If they started testing my place of employment, 85% of the company would be fired.
I was never a clock watcher at work, in fact far from it, but I was leaving for a trip to Jamaica, it was around Christmas, and couldn't wait until that clock hit five and when it did I came flying out of my office with silver garland around my neck and on my head yelling, "EVERYBODY LIMBO!!!" At that exact same moment they were letting out a Regional District Manager's Meeting on what else? "How to Identify Drug Use In the Workplace" and the sales manager started laughing and so did my boss and one of them said, "And there goes exhibit A."
