I’m sure his stance is that he wants people to do their job sober.
Alcohol is perfectly legal, yet I would hardly want a surgeon to have a few shots before working on me, or anyone else. Why is it with booze surgeons are apparently able to make rational decision on its use?
If a surgeon were to smoke all the time but was capable and sober on his job I wouldn’t care.
“Alcohol is perfectly legal..................If a surgeon (policeman, firefighter, etc) were to smoke all the time but was capable and sober on his job I wouldn’t care.”
THAT is the usual destination that the “Weed is a harmless drug” takes us. Yet it is still an ignorant statement. Why? “Alcohol is perfectly legal...” Um, yah and let me know when alcohol doesn’t kill people. Because ALCOHOL DOES KILL PEOPLE. It continues to kill people because it is legal and has no stigma attached to it. It kills because it medically impairs anyone’s judgement who imbibes it.
You say “I would hardly want a surgeon to have a few shots before working on me, or anyone else.”
Again, another ignorant statement. Let me know when there was never (surgeon, policeman, firefighter, etc) anyone who drank alcohol on duty and put people at risk because they do because it takes over their lives and impairs their judgement (no stigma).
“Why is it with booze surgeons are apparently able to make rational decision on its use?”
What? Since when did ANYONE say that ANYONE makes rational decisions while drinking alcohol? That statement made no sense (see above).
You can argue that Marijuana has no medical or societal effect on society but that argument has no merit and is devoid of common sense.
