"the biggest impediments for workers is being clean of Drugs"

Excellent point! We could fix a bunch of problems if we simply decriminalized weed.

If you smoke a joint you can't get a job, pretty stupid, huh.

Handle it like alcohol - high at work, fired. High at home, your business.

Lots of functional alcoholics in the labor force.

Plus lots of people in the weed business would be out of work.

Since I worked with the USPS and did some hiring, I can tell you that passing the drug test is a huge road block, and Weed is not the main culprit. The Opioid painkillers/ heroin are a big issue; also anti-psychotics (recreational levels). Weed comes in after that, in my experience.

I’m inclined to agree, but it should be up to the employer. However, if you raise the employment bar, be prepared to raise compensation too.

There is no such thing as a functional alcoholic. It just means they haven’t been fired yet

Cannabinoids stay in your body for a reason.

They were designed for us by The One that designed us.

The whole cannabis criminality goes back to before the 30's. Henry Ford designed a vehicle that was mostly made of, and ran off of cannabis.

Just think if we had never become dependent on ME oil? Of course this was not according to their plans for global conquest and domination. It had to be stopped.

A plant that is described twice in the first chapter of Genesis. The first time it is to establish it was made by Him. The second time he presents it to us as the first gift to mankind. A plant that prevents blindness! Physically and spiritually. It pretty much fed, clothed, and housed mankind since before recorded history. How could such a useful plant suddenly become criminal?

I am with you. I know a lot of drunks who can work. I know a lot of potheads that can work. Both are dangerous if they are actively high on the job. But a pothead doesn’t show up to work with a reeking hangover.

But it’s all insurance related most likely.
