Washington Man First to Buy Legal Weed in Spokane Is Fired After Spotted on News
New York Daily News ^ | Wednesday, July 9, 2014 | Sasha Goldstein

Mike Boyer, 30, was canned Tuesday after waiting 20 hours to buy pot and immediately going home to smoke. He was called up for urine analysis after he was spotted on TV buying the pot. Boyer told The News he 'regrets nothing.'

His high was quickly brought low.

A Spokane, Wash. man was fired from his job as a security guard the same day he became the first person to legally buy weed in the city Tuesday.

“I don’t regret it,” Mike Boyer told the Daily News Wednesday. “I’m sad it happened but I got the title: I’m No. 1. I regret nothing.”

Boyer took Tuesday off from his job and set up camp outside Spokane Green Leaf around 7 p.m. Monday. Almost 20 hours later, around 2 p.m. Tuesday, Boyer was first in the door when the pot dispensary opened its doors to sell legal marijuana.

“We don’t line up for Black Friday, we line up for ‘Green Tuesday,’” the 30-year-old told The News. “People camp out for Star Wars and donuts ... this is more important than that.”

Dressed in sunglasses and a garish tie-dye T-shirt, Boyer yelled, “Go Washington!” as he made his historic purchase.

He walked out with four grams of Sour Kush and high-fived people waiting in line as he held his bag of weed aloft, yelling “first customer!” as he walked to his car and immediately went home to get high.

Boyer’s phone buzzed as he took his first few hits: His employer wanted him to come in and take a urine analysis test within 24 hours. A client had seen the security guard on a newscast and was concerned about the drug use, Boyer said.

The test came back positive for THC, according to Boyer.

After being fired, the Spokane native posted his resume to Craigslist in the hopes of landing a new gig — hopefully in the marijuana industry, he said.

“I’m staying positive,” Boyer said.

If you were selling dope, would you want your security to be high?

“Of course he regrets nothing - he’ll just go on the doll.”

He cant. He dropped the cherry on it and burnt a hole. She won’t hold air anymore.

Rather than drug czar, the kenyan could hire him to be on his secret service detail.

Coming Soon: Armed security guards and police wandering around stoned out of their gourds on “legal” dope.

This craziness will end but it is not going to end well.

I’m not a libertarian but I don’t see how you can blame the existence of the welfare class (invented by LBJ and expanded ever after) on the recent legalization of pot (which I am somewhat against).

I like that suggestion even better and it’s a perfect fit .... ‘security’ experience to go along with the ‘chooming’ expertise ......

Some days I think drug tests are just a way to weed out complete idiots from smoking pot.

If you’re stupid enough to not beat a drug test, you definitely should not be smoking.

Now working people get to pay for him the rest of his life. Thanks, libertarians!

 

Indeed. This is the direct result (and fault) of libertarians and their pro-dope agenda. But we should thank God for this fool and his freedom and right to smoke pot (and go on the doll), right?

Liberals want to end the WOD? This is what they want?

Idiots.

So if someone in a newly ‘undry’ county is the first to go home and crack a beer gets fired you all would be fine with it?

“I’m sad it happened but I got the title: I’m No. 1. I regret nothing.”

Yup, a moron. They don’t call them Libtardians for nothing.
