I discussed fines, rather than prison time, and added:
But the emphasis in these ‘no-victim’ crimes should be deterrence, rather than punishment.
Those whom we deter, do not perform the crime, right?
We already have drug court. We don’t need any other system. No one goes to jail in WA for minor drug crimes and haven’t for about 15 years.
The problem is that not enough places of employment drug test. I have never heard of a hospital that drug tested their employees, but they should. No one should be working with patients that uses drugs, including marijuana.
No drug users should be working in banking, not with my money. There is very little that I would trust a drug user to do, even a marijuana user.
What I am saying is where are we going to get a responsible work force if everyone is blowing weed?
A marijuana user is not a responsible worker. That’t the reason that anyone who works for in any job that is covered by the dept of transportation is drug tested often. The same should be done by a lot of other industries.
