The WOD can't be won. Even if you make drugs illegal doesn't mean people can't get them; it just makes things worse.
Employers are firing smokers that won't quit.
They have the ability to do the same thing to people that use drugs. Due to health cost or the fact they just don't like dopers. They may not like the fact that a employee hasn't cared that the activity they have indulged in has been illegal. What else illegal does this person engage in?
If they require you to take a drug test every week to remain employed, what difference does it make if it's legal?
You still can't do drugs, and keep your job.
While most companies drug test lower level employees, that will drastically change.
Everyone up the food chain will be tested. Insurers will require it.
Stats to support policy are easy to fake. Particularly in the name of social engineering.
Just because it's legalized, doesn't make it better.
It will probably become far worse.
Smokers can buy black market smokes far cheaper than legal ones.
Legalized drugs won't be any different.
High risk behavior, you know.
We all pay for it.
I was smoking pot and i am still working...even been promoted to 50 k a year plus commission, a car, and plenty of dental, medical insurance and more...Even if they tested me, i was still doing the job! So firing an employee because he makes personal choices at his home is not right and you got to understand that! Of course i was more at risk to get fired beacuase if they a decrease in my production they would have something against me, but that motivated me to do better! So what was wrong with me smoking pot, and what's more, really heavily!!! please i really want to know!
