The first thing I ask people that want to work for us is can they pass the drug test.
Many have been surprised.......because we are a small business and local......and it is just shoving mud.
But, the equipment we use is very dangerous.
And they do have to drive big trucks.
When we operated our Construction Corporation, my husband refused to hire anyone who used drugs. He made that very clear and fired anyone who showed up "under the influence" of both drugs and/or alcohol.
No matter how much you try to equate alcohol with drugs...no, ain't happening. Alcohol takes years to destroy the body functions and brains. Drugs can do it overnight.

Well, at least you are up front and very clear about the fact that you fully endorse Big Nanny State Government intrusion and invasion into the private lives of citizens.
Ya know, perhaps one could say "just keep your pot-smoking habit within the wall of your own home/living quarters so it is not pressed on society," except...all those pot heads who can't hold a job because of pot are still a burden to society in that now we have to pay welfare, wics, free medical care, etc., etc. because they can't hold a job and take care of themselves and their responsibilities.
It is a detriment to our society in many more ways, such as pot heads not having sense enough to control producing illegitimate offspring who end up on government welfare and it goes on and on. A good society needs all citizens to "contribute" and not "take!"
And pro potheads can smoke their brains out... literally ...
Push back against pot nation is strong... obamaanics can't even see that he's happy to have potheads dumbed down and sedate...
Monsanto will be serving you soon enough ... and if you think government is bad wait until big biz is in your brain....
That is your ASSumption that everyone that partakes in cannabis is an Obama supporter! It is not a fact! You also ASSume that everyone that partakes in cannabis is dumbed down, and mindless drones which again is not a fact!

I think you meant booze.....

The cost of excessive alcohol consumption in the United States reached $223.5 billion in 2006 or about $1.90 per drink. Almost three-quarters of these costs were due to binge drinking. Binge drinking is defined as consuming four or more alcoholic beverages per occasion for women or five or more drinks per occasion for men, and is the most common form of excessive alcohol consumption in the United States.
The researchers found that the cost of excessive drinking was quite far-reaching, reflecting the effect this dangerous behavior has on many aspects of the drinker’s life and on the lives of those around them. The costs largely resulted from losses in workplace productivity (72% of the total cost), health care expenses for problems caused by excessive drinking (11% of total), law enforcement and other criminal justice expenses related to excessive alcohol consumption (9% of total), and motor vehicle crash costs from impaired driving (6% of the total).

Ahem! I'm gonna go ahead and stop ya right there! You say cannabis users can't hold a job, are on welfare, and a burden on society? Let's see, I work in inside sales 40 hours a week, in which I've been with the same company for what will be 8 years. I own a home, have a wife and ONE child that was conceived AFTER we were married! I do not take welfare benefits from the government, nor do I ask for anything from anyone! I know another neighbor that works in engineering, travels, and partakes in cannabis, and is doing quite well for himself! Now you were saying something about not being able to hold a job???? Hmmm 8 years at the same company would contradict your silly little stereotype, now wouldn't it?
No my friend, the only detriment to society is continuing prohibition, and using government force to tell people what they can and cannot consume, and criminalizing them for doing so!

And no1brownsfan is not alone. The FBI and CIA cant find enough software developers because so many of them have used pot. Prohibition has failed utterly.

So we should legalize it.
