The biggest potheads aren't who you'd guess
NYPost ^ | February 7, 2017 | Gabrielle Fonrouge

They are the city’s new pot-smoking professionals — ganja-puffing teachers...

...A Brooklyn teacher told The Post that it’s a good thing city education officials don’t randomly test school workers for the drug.

“If they did . . . they’d probably have to fire about 85 percent of their staff,” she said.

Today’s pot puffers say they’re no head cases...

"In October, a Gallup poll found that 60 percent of Americans support marijuana use — the highest number in 47 years."

Need to ask the percent that support marijuana use by doctors, dentists, pilots, police and car mechanics.

Random drug tests for teachers?

That would be a very good thing.

Won't happen with state legislatures, one suspects, it would take voter referendums.

(Works for me.)

“If they did... they’d probably have to fire about 85 percent of their staff.”

Then they would have just the 15% that currently do all the work left. That would be bad?

This cannot be TRUE! Because the teachers are so horribly underpaid, that most of them live in poverty (so we are frequently told). If they are so financially needy, it is not possible that they have excess funds available with which they can purchase marijuana.....

According to a Gallup poll conducted in August, the number of American adults using marijuana has nearly doubled in the past three years.

In 2013, 7 percent said they take hits. In 2016, that number was up to 13 percent.


Fundamentally transformed.

Teachers? Oh yeah. Been married to one for 36 years. No she does not smoke it.

The real questions is not whether teachers use it, but if they use it ON THE JOB!

And in all honesty, dealing with kids today - AND THEIR PARENTS TOO! - it helps to be high.

/sarc or no sarc. can’t decide.

My wife and I are like the virgins among the people we know. We are nearly the only ones dont some weed sometimes. And this includes our homeschool group which is full of conservative Christians.

"They are the city’s new pot-smoking professionals — ganja-puffing teachers, TV execs and businessmen who go about their daily routines while under the influence, thanks to the drug’s decriminalization."

 

What does this mean?

Well that might help explain why people want the government to do everything for them. They’re too busy creating and spending 60-80 hrs a week on their job when it probably takes 40 hours..oh and using nontoxic paint on a table ignoring the toxic stuff you’re putting in your and other peoples (2nd hand smokes) lungs. Slow national and personal suicide. At least they’ll have a mellow look on their face in the morgue.
