It's against State Law and company policy to use. It's also forbidden if you buy or own firearms. Ban more guns, your pot is more important. Not this old boy, not ever. I've never even tried that s*** and never will.
Good for you! Nobody is twisting your arm. I'm not a fan of motorcylces, or sky diving, but I'm not going to ban those activities, because there may be a danger to them. For the record I oppose gun bans and fully support the 2nd Amendment and the right of our citizens to bear arms. Not to mention, just because cannabis prohibited, it doesn't mean it's a moral or just law. Prohibition created people like Al Capone. Let's not forget that it only benefits the black market, as well as the prison industrial complex. Tell me how that is moral? Imprisoning people, and stripping them of their rights over a God given plant! It's ridiculous! I support the individual freedoms endowed to ALL of us by our Creator! You apparently don't believe your own "conservative philosophy," given that you want to tell people what they can and cannot put in their bodies. So, you're either pro-freedom or your not! You can't pick and choose. The whole idea of freedom and what our country was founded on, was based on while we may not agree with someone elses speech, or what they partake in, we still support their rights as a free individual.
They better not own a firearm, that's all I have to say. It's also against State Law and company policy to use. As I said, girly men need not worry of getting PHYSICALLY hurt on the job. Hmmm, I wonder why TOOL users can see it plain as day. Kinda like they respect firearms just the same. Both are tools....it's human tools that blame the tools instead of the men using them. I don't know about you, but I don't need to get shot in the back with a nailgun or get my finger or hand sawed off from some loser who is stoned on dope while I'm at work on the job. You don't use that garbage around me or my co-workers.
I'll bet those "girly men" make triple the money that you do.
No, but after you have a "work accident" get ready to p*ss in the cup. I hope you are clean?? If you want to keep your job.
And finally, you're worried about someone being stoned at work? Well, we've already provided you with the fact that the effects of cannibis wear off in about 1-3 hours. Having said that, if you're stupid enough to come to work under the influence of any intoxicating substance then you're stupid enough to get fired! It's called not mixing business with pleasure, and the majority of us do it every day, and get along just fine. So we will agree on that aspect that you deserve to get fired if you're intoxicated at work! However; my employer is NOT my parent, and what I do on MY OWN TIME is not their damn business!
The highest status pot user that I know is a pizza driver.
Bill Maher is an ardent user as he proclaims on his own TV show, not to mention actor Zach Galifinakis lit up on Bill's show one day.
I'd consider both of those individuals to be successful.

I'd say it's the position of rational freedom. I think the where conservatives and liberals are going to but heads is in regards to should it be regulated and if so how do we regulate it.

THC can stick in your system for weeks. Imagine if alcohol or tobacco did that. Imagine if I was able to test your blood supply and find out that you had alcohol at some point in the past 14 days. And then blame your workplace accident\employment qualifications on that.
I agree with conservatives on many issues but this one makes no sense. They will fight the legalization of a safe substance just as hard as they will same sex marriage and abortion. The thing is, there is no religious ban on marijuana usage so it can't be fought from that angle. They are for personal liberties until it comes to something pleasurable then they fight it tooth and nail. Just like alcohol and tobacco, marijuana should be a personal choice as long as one doesnt get behind the wheel while under the influence. We need a serious libertarian candidate who will bring back the principles this country was founded on.
I've never known anyone to work while high on weed or drunk on alcohol or drunk on cough syrup. You need a new group of friends.
But I agree. I don't need to get shot in the back with a nail gun by some loser who is drunk on alcohol or high on sleeping pills. And actually, I don't need to get shot in the back with a nail gun by any loser even if they are sober.
Don't you love this "Chicken Little" mentality? My company doesn't pry into to the private lives of their employees, but I know if that if someone came in under the influence on company time they'd be let go.
I am a conservative as are many in my circle of friends. Most believe marijuana should either be legalized for recreational use or seriously decriminalized. We waste enormous amounts of law enforcement and justice system resources going after recreational users of weed.
The Republican party position is at odds with many of its members. Not much different from how the Democratic party position on guns doesn't agree with many of its regular voters.
Conservatives love the police state. They love throwing people in jail for morality reasons. all you have to do is say it's for public safety, especially if its for the children.
Louisiana has more cops and more prisoners per capita than any other state (or nation) and the conservatives can't get enough of it.
ban everything, except for assault rifles, of course. at least I'm consistent. it should all be legal.

Don't take away my rights when you cannot even legally purchase for yourself. It's the Dem way.....vote away rights they don't have.

So... maybe your friends are just proles with low cognitive ability.
No, it just proves yours are criminals.

I didn't make the law, I follow it though.

Reason: off topic
Your public use of it may impair my ability to do a given task. Contact High and you have infringed on my wellbeing. Are all of the years of study indicating long term negative effects of inhalation now invalid?
Different with alcohol. I cannot get drunk if you consume it and breath on me.
Different than tobacco use. It may affect my lungs in the short/long term but does not affect me in the instant of exposure.(well I may cough but your B.O. could also make me gag) Long term effects of seconday smoke one of the reasons use is now restricted. For the health of non-smokers.
NB: But what you do in your home is your business.
