Good question about drug testing. Because if marijuana is legal, would it become illegal to discriminate against those who use the drug; illegal to do drug testing for pot????

"Marijuana got into our industry. Half of the sculptors will come in high. As soon as we'd catch it, they'd be let go. We went through 25 sculptors. Only five of [our sculptors] either were quality or would show up unimpaired."

Wait a second? Artists use drugs? Crazy talk!

I wonder if he'd move to Clay county in Alabama if employees kept showing up drunk...

I was in Manitou Springs recently. Saw a bunch of scruffy unwashed characters right out of the 70’s long greasy hair, scurvy looking beards, etc. (I would have called them hippies then) passing a joint (about the size of one you’d see in a Cheech and Chong movie) And I though “Holy Crap they’re blatant”. Then I realized: This is Colorado. It’s legal here. Didn’t make me want to move there.

I believe they are allowed to test.
That topic was discussed relative to the NFL and the Denver Broncos.
Also the commercial drivers license requirements.

Do you have to employ someone who shows up to work drunk?

I hear they sell pot in other States too, but employees just won't be as open about it.

Denver is chock full of young hipsters

I can see this

Part of my businesses are in serious white trash area

My issue is how many of them steal

I wish they were just stoned and not stealing

Usually it’s pain pills nowadays

Used to be amphetamines

There are sections of America where loser millenials seem to cluster

Austin

Nashville

Denver Boulder

Santa Cruz

Portland....the epicenter

Seattle

Asheville

Brooklyn

Oh right. Because when pot was illegal in Colorado I’m sure none of his employees showed up stoned. Because it was illegal and people don’t do things that are illegal. But now that pot is legal everyone smokes it! Right?

Stupid employer is stupid.

These millenials willingly make themselves vulnerable. I call them the beheadable millenials.

Um, they're sculptors. And they're going to be just as stoned in Myrtle Beach.
