I would smoke weed if I could at my job. I can't so I have to live with that if I want to stay employed by my company.

Ike pointed out that 80% of the workforce drug tests now so why should a person that is collecting a check for free be able to limit themselves on where they work but still be able to collect that check?

the problem is over 80% of employers drug test now.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Bryan isnt the reason companies drug test their employees because of the liability aspect of it ? I'm sure most companies would be glad not to do it. We live in a society where we need to blame and make someone pay when they fuck up. Again , if someone gets hurt in an accident by you while performing your job, first thing the person that got hurt is going to do is sue and if you have something in your system that shouldn't be there, the lawyer for the plaintiff is going to jump all over it . That's my guess as to why companies drug test.
Should it matter if you did whatever off the job? Probably not but that's not how the legal community is going to portray it

Are you saying that for a large majority of people that drugs won't negatively effect their ability to operate machinery?

The part where the guy gets fired for something he did in his free time.

depends on what drugs and concentrations they take, which all should be determined by your doctor that knows you and your body and actually knows what those drugs do.

Does. Not. Happen.

I can get fired for plenty of things I do in my free time.

Find a test that works like a breathalyzer and Id be on board

So you are literally saying there are people who can show up to work high and use heavy machinery and be safe?

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

Everything you say is true, but I dont see how that changes anything Im saying.

Just because we live in an overly litigious society doesn't mean we give up rights. We shouldnt anyway.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

You are wrong. My buddy and I blazed up, and then he went up 25' in a tree with a chainsaw. The tree came down exactly as we wanted it, and nobody was even close to being in danger.

likely a lot safer in that situation because youre paranoid of getting hurt. going up there sober and pissed off that youre doing hard work just leads to carelessness.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

You shouldn't.

Not if it doesnt affect the job or harm anyone.

How does a guy smoking a joint on his couch two weeks earlier affect safety of operating the machinery completely sober two weeks later?

It's unfortunate there isn't a better test for recent marijuana cigarette usage.

I'd be fine if they made an exemption for marijuana if the person was able to pass some sort of sobriety test.

Was the tree covered in Cheetos?

Drug testing is just another attack on the working man as the CEO snorts lines off his desk.

they have sobriety tests. the fact that a stoned person can pass it no problem when a drunk person cannot probably means the stoned person is really not that impaired.

oh i have an idea....let's create some sobriety tests that are difficult to impossible to pass while actually sober !

So how about if someone tests positive for marijuana cigarettes that they are given a sobriety test at the start of work every day for 6 months?

yes, as well as ben and jerry's chunky monkey.

that would be a waste of time because they could pass the tests even if theyre stoned.

Sure everyone is for the personal freedom aspect of things until something happens. I'm pretty confident you and every other recreational pot smoker would have no problem having your lawyer tear Chris apart on the stand about his being an occasional pot smoker if you got hurt in an accident in an truck he was driving .
