Colorado businessman blames 'stoned' workers for move to SC
FOX NEWS ^ | April 24, 2015

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.

Some companies are harder than that, they can required no use of drugs, alcohol or tobacco.

Have you tried naproxen?

Generally, I can't take NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, etc.). It causes too much problem with my stomach.

dopers have argued stubbornly that they do everything better while high on pot

Well I always knew I was way funnier and better-looking when drunk.

Damn shame I had to quit.

“The man moved his business because of pot, not alcohol.”

I realize that. I was voicing the same question McGruff asked, but regarding alcohol hangovers that resulted in accidents. What does an employer do?

“The man didn’t relocate his business because people were showing up drunk, brain surgeon!”

So avoid the question, anu$.

“The evil capitalist business owner pays.”

Thank you for an actual answer. I was curious as to what the employer does in either case, whether it’s pot or booze.

“Apparently the owner is seeing giant dinosaurs. I think maybe he has been getting high with 2nd hand marijuana smoke. : )”

Must be! The article indicated he felt his comments were misinterpreted but he refused to elaborate.

dware, I smoked pot everyday for 20 years.

I speak from experience, and I am perfectly capable of forming an honest opinion, mkay?

I am for the legalization of MJ, because I don’t believe people who smoke MJ are criminals that should do jail time. But at the same time, if you are going to use it, then do it in way that is not going to be a burden to others, such as your employer or your family.

And don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining. You smoke dat dank, dawg, and it is going to affect you and everything you do.

Take it from the pro-MJ crowd.

Evidently he just ran his business and didn’t have a problem, he says he moved because of pot users.

Can’t you read the thread topic?

I was responding to a question McDuff posed, not the article. Can’t you tell the difference between the article and the comments?

Just like they said about gay marriage before the homo-fascists came along. How does my pot smoking hurt YOU?

You asked me a stupid question in post 87.

You really do not seem to care for the thread topic.

I smoked a big pile of weed in college and don’t really remember hangovers from it.

“For $90 grand you would think people would quit getting high long enough to pass a drug screen at least.”

No. They can’t do it. Look at professional athletes who get paid millions to not smoke dope. Can’t do it.

The problem with weed is that you test positive for weeks. So you go to work stoned, take a drug test and blame it on the weekend. How would anyone know?
