My life experience, no good has come from recreational drug use.
It’s caused me a lot of personal anguish in my life because friends or loved ones fell victim to abuse. Seems it doesn’t take much to abuse it.
Alcohol or pot, it’s all bad mojo to me.
The worst thing is I can’t count on people who get messed up. Seemed when I needed to count on them most when a family emergency arrived, well you couldn’t.
Keep it away from me and mine. Let your own families down when they need to count on you the most.

>>Seems it doesn’t take much to abuse it.

Moreso in a culture that self-medicates as a coping mechanism.

That’s where the alleged behavior of these teachers is especially troubling. Being stoned on the job indicates they’re not coping.

They’re failing to cope - and probably teaching their students to similarly fail.

Should both be legal, or neither?

If you want them on-call for you, compensate them don't shackle them.

“My life experience, no good has come from recreational drug use.”

I understand what you mean. Substance abuse of any kind, including prescription drugs, can warp personalities and damage lives, sometimes without the person even realizing it. Their changed self becomes their new reality. It is important to be cautious about mood and mind altering chemicals.
