What's that smell?? Oh yeah, upcoming Federal lawsuits in the air.


That's fine.
Two can play that game.
File a complaint that you feel unsafe working alongside someone who smoke pot.
File a complaint that you are under duress and can't think straight due to cannabis exposure.
Call in sick a few days complaining that the odor of pot is making you sick.
Problem solved.

If the Jets and Giants actually played in NYC this story would be 1000000 x bigger

So what?!?!? You have all those people on Wall Street sniffing sh** and the world isn't ending. You have how many alcoholics/pill poppers going to work but the economic machine is still running. Let's not forget caffeine, soda, whatever keeps people going.



Bet you if it was about percacet, xanex, this thread wouldn't even be here.

The government shouldn’t be forcing anyone to do anything with their own property, period.

It will definately cause a shift in who they hire because stoners stick with stoners.

Should our bus drivers and subway operators be under the influence too?

If I was a bus driver, I'd want to drink. Seriously. It'd be fun being able to be a drunk bus driver. Like a video game. You can do anything with no consequences.

Aren't governement employees in a way, property of the government? Having a government job is not the same thing as a pizza delivery driver.

This post reminds me of that new product for testing under the influence: Cannabix Technologies is a Canadian company that is producing breathalyzers for law enforcement officers to roadside test for THC.

It is weird how if you ask any stoner if being stoned impairs their driving and all of them say no it improves their driving. But scientific tests have proven otherwise.

well i got to tell you , i saw a commercial the other night ...it said 40% of all traffic accidents involve someone under the influence of drugs or alchohol ....

math aint my strong point but that tells me it is safer to drive stoned since 60% of the accidents are straight people ...

Stoner logic: Those are prescribed by doctors so if they ate too many and it caused problems, it'd be okay. Now with pot becoming legal and presribed, I don't see any reason why they can not take as much as they want for work. Job performance is all about how many drugs a doctor prescribes. And since marijuana is harmless, that means everybody needs to be high. Chill man.
