    My employer never did until the business was successful enough, and continuously so, that it attracted Gov't contracts.

    Now he must.

    When I started with him 18+ yrs ago, there were 5 employees.. the company now averages 50 with some light turnover.

    He's a great guy, and I will not jeopardize his success, nor my job to enjoy MJ.

    I'm a big fan of personal responsibility.

    Doesn't mean I don't F up.. just that I'm willing to accept the consequences of my actions.
    :yes:

    Well lets see how our military, police force or fire dept would run if they were all stoned! That's why there is very HARSH penalties for people doing drugs/Pot in a quick thinking situation. Again, what you do at home, I don't care or give a $#!T, it's your life. But nobody can justify WHY they smoke Pot! Nobody. And, it's no different for Beer or Booze either, I'll be the first to admit it!!! The Big difference is; I can drink 1 Beer and be satisfied with that, because it's a DRINK!

    True, you didn't.

    But you listed a number of people that died of various concerns, and that all of them were MJ smokers.

    I'd be willing to bet that there have been more people that were non-MJ smokers that died of the same afflictions.

    He simply asked if there were other things that should be put on the same proverbial scale.

    As noted, of my 3 major vices, one ranks as #3 in the "grand scheme".

    Kinda like when anyone that died, and had contracted C-19, well.. C-19 is what killed them.
    :picard:

    If I died in a car accident, and had contracted Covid, it's not a causal relationship that Covid caused the accident.

    But they did that as well. It's a numbers game for funding.

    If they show up impaired by drugs/alcohol then they are wrong in every sense.

    I don't work drunk or stoned.. Although there have been some rough hangovers in the past.

    Not fair to the employer, and certainly not acceptable if lives are on the line.

    Chaz, Dodge ball is over! Enough of the drawn out explanations. Why Do people smoke Pot; To get high or not? This is simple, Yes or no?

    Backwoods Savage , since I started this thread and it seems like it's going in the wrong direction, can you lock it down.

    Thanks
