When workers at his Colorado business went to pot, Mark Brawner said it was enough for him to roll out of the Rockies and head for South Carolina.
Brawner, who ran Little Spider Creations out of an old Denver warehouse for years until this month, told KUSA-TV Thursday he moved because pot was hurting his company. He said employees started to come to work stoned after the state legalized the drug for recreational use in 2012.

My comment was not a “hooray for me” that I can have a drink or two and not get drunk. The point was that a social drink was not intended to get buzzed. The point of smoking a joint IS to get buzzed.
I have never seen a stoner smoke a joint (or whatever method they favor) like it was a drink or two, or a cigarette. It was consumed with the specific intent to get a buzz. And that is the difference.
Sure there are alcoholics, I know many, who do drink... not to get drunk, but their BAC is 0.15% or better and they aren’t drunk. I have a friend who got pulled over for “crossing the fog line”. Blew a 0.32% and the deputy who wrote him up stated the “ at 0.32% the subject did not appear intoxicated”. That’s not an “I had a few too many”, or a hobby, that’s a career.
Even a regular user of cannabis may require more to get high, but the still smoke with the intent of getting a buzz it’s never a “wow time got away from me, and I did too much”
Understood.
A high dosage of Imitrex kinda worked for me years ago, but the hallucinatory side effects made it an unpleasant option. I stumbled onto Aleve, however, which works well when taken early. I’ve heard about the burning effects it can have on the throat and stomach.
Even when I was a teenager I could quit for a month to pass a drug screen and that was for minimum wage jobs.
I wonder who will be next to move...?
I call BS.
They were already stoned.
Great. Now all he has to worry about is meth.
You haven't seen much. Ever heard of a one hitter? No?
The herb has it's own way of nullifying abuse. It's called tolerance build. Abusers build up tolerance to a point where they can not get high anymore. Stupidly a lot of them continue to puff away to no avail.
You are ASSuming every one that partakes of the First Gift abuses it. Just like alcohol, there are many that don't abuse it.
But hey kick in their doors like krystalnact, it's the law! Do you know how many Nazis broke the law on krystalnact?
Some people smoke for the flavor! When prohibition is finally repealed look for RJ Reynolds and the other big tobacco producers to put out low to no Thc packs.
“Come to Greenville SC. It will knock you out how nice it is.
Plus BMW HQ is down the road and all the companies that supply. Great place to live. Unreal downtown.”
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“The continued popularity of the senior senator from SC makes me suspect that a good percentage of that state’s population is walking around in a drug-induced daze also.”.......
The reason Grahamy keeps getting re-elected in SC....two words...OPEN PRIMARIES! The Dems vote as Repubs amd he is in every time. You can see the most evidence of this by the area that Grahamy is from...the Upstate of SC, very conservative area, Grahamy can’t carry. He loses this area and even his OWN HOME TOWN every election. The areas that are very liberal in SC....Charleston, etc. vote for Grahamy every single time. The election is wide open. Hence why the Dems never run a candidate against Grahamy, they don’t need to....he is one “of those”!
It must have been fake pot. /s
But seriously: research shows that of all those who have ever used pot, 9% have at some point been dependent - whereas the corresponding figure for alcohol is 15% and tobacco 32%.
The % will change as weed becomes legal.
Because the illegality/cost may have been the deciding factor not to become a habit.
And yet it wasn't a factor in deciding to nonhabitually use? Doesn't add up.
And if one can decide to not become dependent, whether because of illegality or cost or anything else, it's a poor excuse for a dependency.
You smoke weed in college but you recognize it can get you fired in the real world.
Company gets sued. If they knew about his problem and did nothing, they are generally found liable.
Thank you.
