Since I’m from Seattle I now have a lot of friends and family members that use Marijuana like many people use alcohol. And all of them are professionals, one of which is a second level manager at Microsoft. And most of them were doing it in the decade before it became legal. The law didn’t change their activity at all other than maybe how they acquire it.

It’s returned to the same level as it was before prohibition, just like what happened to alcohol a long time ago.

I’d hire a person that uses marijuana but never drinks before I’d hire a person that drinks but never uses marijuana, all other factors being equal.

Disclaimer - I have not touched the evil weed since 1977.

Having hired lots of professionals, I’d prefer somebody who doesn’t do any drug.

Well, that might help explain what went wrong with WIN 10.

Just curious. Here the route of use is still probably through smoking, what is the route of entry out there, eating it?

Thank you for a logical and well-thought-out post regarding marijuana use.

What these drug warriors fail to see is that their work to keep the evil weed illegal is an IDENTICAL social engineering experiment to anything the moonbats do. Normalizing aberrant behaviour is exactly the same as vilifying different choices in recreation.

Once again, it’s about CONTROLLING OTHERS! Provided no one else is endangered, where is the problem? “Drugs are bad, mmmkay” doesn’t work when everyone from school teachers and districts, to your doctors are pushing behaviour altering substances on anyone acting anything other than totally docile.

A weed that literally grows anywhere and helps a lot of people is “BAD”, but various substances can be advertised on TV and radio with disclaimers about side effects including death is just fine, “because drug company!”

It’s all nonsense. I’m glad I don’t smoke the stuff, but it can and does help some folks. LEAVE THEM ALONE and MYOB!
