As the country's support for marijuana legalization grows, some employers are now looking at the once-taboo subject of weed and work differently. NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard reports.
Editor's Note: This story should have credited reporting on the subject by Krithika Varagur at The Wall Street Journal.

I mean yeah but they still broke the law at the time. And even though some of them are in just for weed a lot sold or bought other illegal drugs that are definitely not legal now. So they still deserve time. Maybe a reduced time for weed but because some literally get years for it. But again they knew the risks in the first place.

I would say that people are actually less likely to consume a substance once it becomes legalized. I think this is partially because of what the person above said, but also because people will begin to have more information on the effects of the substance. For example, if a drug is illegal, people are less informed about what it does. All they know is that it is illegal. Whereas, if a drug is legal, people know more about it. The public is more educated. I don't think this is necessarily the case for weed, but it is for most other drugs.

Depending on the industry, I think its not necessarily the idea of how a person becomes intoxicated, but if they are willing to do illegal things for personal desire. If you're willing to go to jail for a high, you may be willing to steal from the register to get the high type idea. principles.

Rules should be clear cut. They are really simple: Do not consume cannabis or derivatives in work places (unless prescribed), Cannabis and its derivatives are to be consumed on your own time, Be safe and place the safety of others in very high regard - don't use cannabis or any other substance while driving. Pretty simple, why all the commotion over this plant that millions probably won't ever consume in their lifetime legal or illegal? - nonetheless, it is simply one experience of limitless on this planet. Just legalize it, be done with it, give people the personal freedom to dictate and tailor their personal experiences in this pitifully short life we balance as singular individuals and share together as a community of peoples. Peace and Love.

@happeedaze1
@happeedaze1 2 года назад
I'd rather hire someone who smokes Marijuana to get high every day than someone who drinks to get drunk everyday. The person who drinks will be hungover, slow and basically non prroductive. They will have many health issues and probably not last long at the job. The Marijuana smoker will have no hangovers and will most likely be more healthy even if they have some sort of disability or mobility issue. They definitely eat better than an alcoholic. They mostly likely will select a job they are happy with. They may even be more creative and productive because they want to be there . Marijuana smokers are generally happy people especially if they are in a workplace that accepts their lifestyle. Most times people can't even tell when someone has been smoking Marijuana but the smell is usually a tip off. The above is based on my own experience in supervision of staff up to seven employees. If I knew a staff member was a smoker then my only issue and rule was they do not drive or operate heavy machinery. I knew several of our staff had pain related health issues. I left it up to them to be honest and they were. They were on time to work and rarely missed days. I notice also that at lunch time there was fun socializing and sharing of food which help the team bond. The drinkers, on the other hand, we're not as friendly with other staff and never ate lunches. They always seemed in crisis mode. They missed more days and had more social and family issues outside of the workplace. These are my observations of over 10 years of being a supervisor.

When asked if there were any considerations before sentencing, the defendant said, "Your Honor, if I drink 6 beers, I'll probably wreck my truck. But if I smoke a joint, the only thing I'm gonna wreck is the refrigerator." The courtroom erupted in laughter. The defendant got probation.

The more frequently you partake, the less it affects you. I've been a cannabis patient in California for many years now. Going from opioids to management of endocannabinoids was the best thing I ever did for myself. I no longer messing with my opioid receptors and now only the cannabinoid receptors. Moving away from cannabis use is not a serious withdrawal. It's the same as using sugar, coffee, or tea daily and somebody taking it away from you.. Yes it does cause a craving because you're endocannabinoid system recesses because you are inducing the cannabinoids. It's kind of like taking over your breathing to control it consciously rather than subconsciously. The cravings go away once your body starts producing endocannabinoids on it's own.

I smoked as regularly as I could from age 16 to 30, then I stopped for thirty-three years Because I felt it affected my ability to be on-point and less productive towards meeting my career goals, and being illegal it could also affect those goals if I were to be arrested. Now I'm in my mid-sixties, live in a legal state, and started smoking it again, but only on Friday and Saturday nights. I find that There is a hangover affect that affects my ability to be on-point, and I still work. I don't plan on increasing my usage when I retire. For me it's like a glass of wine, but since I've never enjoyed drinking alcohol, cannabis takes it's place and is much better as it let's my mind wander, which is a big plus, as my job requires me to be very focused and it's not easy to get out of that mindset easily.

A few hours after smoking marijuana wouldn't cause any hang over or impact your driving skills yet these tests impact your ability to get thousands of jobs for a MONTH after using it... It's time to set the record straight on this foolishness!!! Look at the devastation the DEA has done with their Drug Scheduling... Marijuana being set as a Class 1 Drug with no current medical use known and a high potential for abuse and/or addiction!!! While Fentanyl a deadly drug that shouldn't be used gets a Class 2 Scheduling legal in all 50 States... Both Alcohol and Tobacco are more dangerous being both more highly abused and addictive than Marijuana but still get a favorable nod from the DEA...

Around halfway through the .5 joint, I started feeling like I was floating, it was amazing. I finished the whole thing 5 minutes later, and I was zooted.

I agree that weed isn't a big deal and should be legalized, but I wouldn't be comfortable smoking weed with my co-workers, just as much as I'm uncomfortable drinking booze with my co-workers.

We tolerate the numerous auto deaths because the restriction of the freedom driving provides in perpetuity is too much of a cost to bear, which isn't wrong. Drug laws are complex in the same way and are more than good or bad will explain. The costs of the drug war, especially given their inability to achieve anything, are simply too much for society to bear compared to the self-inflicted costs to the lives of users.
