At work, we have one crew all of whom smoke weed on the job and are by far the laziest and most careless of crews, costing the company complaints about the work done or not done as well as the low quality of the work and potentially losing those customers.

Weed activists.
They have a stronger union than the Meth activists. For now.

The main thing Illinois residents need to know is that your neighbors are Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky, and you will improve your quality of life, political environment and economic prospects in any of the adjoining states. Farmers are stuck, but why should anyone else stay?

What kills me is that potheads are generally the same people who would scream in public if someone smoked a cigarette within 200 feet of them. Not even close to the same thing. Cigarettes contain well over a dozen toxic chemicals. Besides, marijuana users are generally moving away from smoking. Its all about the edibles now.

It's time to simply abolish any form of welfare for people using any drugs of abuse. Including alcohol. Including opioids. Including marijuana. Etc. Use drugs on your own time and your own nickel, and take your chances. If you can use in moderation and still hold down a job, so be it. If you incapacitate yourself, render yourself unemployable, and die on the streets, so be it. The morgues will be busy for a few years while this sorted things out, but society would relearn what it needs to relearn. And the ineducable will die off soon enough.
The welfare system is the great enabler of drug abuse. If we subsidize something, we will get more of it. It's time to cut off the subsidies.

RDJ is pushing 60.
I thought we were talking about today? Kids are introduced to alcohol much earlier and THAT is several more times addictive and damaging as pot.
It is important to keep things in perspective. I am NOT advocating pot or liquor use before the age of majority.

Will growing your own remain illegal?

Theres even a hefty percentage of FReepers whod applaud this move. They dont even care to consider the fallout.
My main objection to legalization is that when individuals have toked themselves into befuddled unemployability the libs in the legislature will declare the dependence a disease and put them on the dole for life. IOW, their hand in my pocket.

I live in metro area of 300,000 in a state where recreational has been legal for six years. There are two pot shops.I live in the capitol of Oregon. There are a dozen pot shops within a mile of my house.

Job security for us responsible folks is a good way to look at it I suppose.
We still have to toe the line for the losers who make bad decisions however & sometimes that impacts us too.
Like when we have to kill them as they break into our homes looking for booty to support their horrid habits.

the management is terrible ... the company is going down. 3 of the top management were either fired or quit The big boss is an ass (to be nice) who thinks workers are interchangeable parts not worthy of respect and so forth.
Our branch just reflects that thinking.

We are nearly lifelong pot smokers.
We started our business 40 years ago.
Swung the hammers to build our home.
Paid the mortgage off 30 year ago.
Have built a 6 figure nest egg.
Our income to debt ratio is 0%. Debt free.
We vote conservative. Have voted for Trump twice and will be voting for President Trump every chance we get.
Do you want to vote us off the conservative island for being pot users?
The lazy and unproductive will still be lazy and unproductive without pot use.
