So I thought Trump was leaving marijuana up to the states...

Personally, if I were to have to be treated at a hospital, I'd be more concerned about the resident on the tail end of a 28 hour rotation than I would about the nurse that smokes weed on the weekends, but that's just me.

In school, right now we are studying about how we conduct ourselves outside of the workplace can get our nursing license stripped from us - alcohol, misdemeanor driving offenses, etc. - all have to be reported to the Nursing Board. Why should any other professional jobs be any different?

Medical or not, even possessing this sh!t should carry a life sentence in federal prison. I have to cart around a pothead, who's also a drunk. I have told him time and time again I don't want booze of any kind or the herb anywhere near me or my car. I can't stand the smell of either. I've even thrown him out of my car a few times when he starts drinking or he lights up. I put up with his antics because the building contractor I'm also carting around because of a DUI he got needs him to complete several maintenance jobs he has lined up with 3 different property management firms. I'm still catching hell from the pothead for not being able to transport him or the contractor to wherever they needed to be last week because the timing belt broke on my car, costing me almost $700.00 to fix. I'm now catching hell from my brother and his wife since I had to borrow money from him to get the car fixed, and had to borrow her Jeep to get around for a week. (She's not working, and they have 2 other cars, so why is she bitching? It comes down to everybody is always right, and I'm always wrong, AGAIN.)
I also feel that if you're stupid enough to overdose on opioids, because you're addicted, you don't deserve Narcan: YOU DESERVE TO DIE! I don't care if you're a bum, or the CEO of IBM or GE, see the previous sentence.
I'm damn sick and tired of catching hell from everyone for incidents that are out of my control and I have no control over. Can someone please direct me to a cave where a huge boulder can be rolled over the entrance, so I never have to communicate with or even see another person for the rest of my miserable life?
Well that guy sounds like an a**hole, I mean based on people I know and acquaintances they certainly don't do that kind of thing and would probably criticize anyone who did. And a majority of people I know smoke weed. There is the bus and lightrail if you get a DUI, not expecting everyone to just give you a ride everywhere. Not really that terribly hard to just not drink or smoke weed whilst driving. If I start driving I don't plan to do it if I am high or have been drinking.
As for opiate addicts I have a bit more sympathy than that, for the most part...plenty of good musicians/artists have been opiate addicts.
Problem is, mass transit around here is one of the cruelest jokes around. They frequently run late, if at all.
I probably should have kept my big mouth shut and sucked up the abuse. I'm now convinced no one gives a sh!t and a flying f!ck about anything.
Is that your problem? maybe they shouldn't have got a DUI if they didn't want to deal with mass transit hell...why are you providing them alternate transportation when they don't respect your vehicle rules and are just taking advantage of you?
That said I really don't think life in prison is a proper sentence even for 'just possessing the sh*t', just because you're bitter about a particular a**hole who smokes marijuana that you work with and that you haven't stood up to yet.

You will never talk me into anyone being able to do any sort of drug and being able to do 100% on the job - that goes for illegal drugs, alcohol or narcotics. The more reasons I listen to why marijuana should be legalized, the more I hope it never is. I'm tired of people needing to get high or drunk all the time.
Maybe the guy that did my taxes last year had smoked a doobie because supposedly he was one of their best. Sure screwed the company out of $700. My taxes aren't even that difficult. Thank goodness he wasn't my surgeon.

Getting a bad night's sleep is equivalent to a couple of drinks, in terms of driving ability.
God save you from the people with bad mattresses.

When it comes to cannabis it will show up in a drug test for up to 30 days, so drug testing isn't even an effective way to determine if one is getting high on the job or not. A much better indicator would be if they smell like they just smoked a bong, their eyes are red and they seem stoned.
Can you go have a few beers on the weekend, or enjoy a few glasses of wine with dinner if you choose without risking your career as a nurse? If so why shouldn't someone be able to consume cannabis on their own time without risking their career?
Exactly.Why should someone loose their job if they took a puff off a doobie one weekend.That is not going to effect their job performance two weeks later.Worry more about something like meth which metabolizes quickly and be out of a users system within 48 hours,meanwhile they are still bat s**t crazy.
Obviously someone shouldn't drink or smoke before work.Seems like a waste of a good buzz to me.
Not sure why it wouldn't let you read the link,but it was about all the jobs the industry has created.
Most employers don't do regular pee tests unless you are around drugs or operate heavy equipment.Most jobs here just require a one time pee test when you get hired.I doubt anyone cares if the stock boy at the Dollar Store smoked a joint last night and I doubt it interferes with his job of stacking cans.
I know medical professionals,cops,lawyers etc that all puff the magic dragon.There are ways to fool pee tests if you are smart.One is a nurse who has smoked for years on their time off.They are reaching retirement age now,it never once effected their career.Air Force enlisted used to prefer shrooms and LSD to weed,it didn't show up on the screening back then.A friend's top gun husband regularly did acid,and later on when he was a work flew equipment wort millions of dollars.lol
You ever hear of liability? Say someone smokes a doobie or gets totally plastered the night before. The go to work the next day and they do something that causes an accident or destroys property. They get tested and find high levels of tHC or alcohol in their blood. Guess what? You end up being sued, lose your licenses, you insurance, your job, and your business.
If they show up still drunk they should be punished.Someone could have taken a puff of a joint twenty days before a test and it would show thc.If there's some kind of super weed out there where one puff keeps you stoned for days I'd sure like to know what kind it was.
I'd worry more about someone on bath salts or one of the other compounds that won't show up.
A weed smoker might eat your burrito,a person on bath salts will eat your face off.
If a person works around meds,then they should be randomly tested for those drugs.Teasting for thc is just a waste of money.
More people are now dying from overdosing on legal drugs,no one has overdosed on weed and died from it.Seems like the money could be better spent on trying to get a handle on the illegal pharmaceutical business and the meth problem.

Add a bad nights sleep with a couple of drinks to try to get you to sleep - what does that equal? I should know because I used to use alcohol to help me sleep and it was a poor substitute.

What all this actually boils down to are that the users are going to want marijuana legalized and the non-users wont'. What I will say, is that I have had my time with alcohol in my early days and now that I have no interest in it I don't want to be around anyone else using alcohol or any illegal substance. Once a person stops using the stuff then they are able to see just how ridiculous people act who do use the stuff and for myself, I don't want any part of it. I'm tired of seeing people puke and falling down drunk and passed out and thinking that is a good time. It's foolishness. Then I have to take care of those losers whenever they fall down and break a bone or have a GI bleed - they get patched up just so they can go back out and do it all over again. It's sickening. The Biatch next door has had the ambulance there at least 4x in the past two years for broken bones and possible stroke and a "virus" (wtf ever) which all goes back to her damn alcoholism. It's BS.
I still remember the concerts I went to in my 20's - AC/DC and Pink Floyd. This one guy behind us was so plastered he just kept throwing up to where they had to cart his ass out. I was thinking "do you know you just missed AC/DC because you thought that getting high and puking your guts out was more fun?!" Whatever. And the Pink Floyd concert was at a big arena. You'd go out to go to the bathroom and people were just standing out there throwing up. Give me a break with that crap.
I do have some empathy for people who use because of some tragedy that has happened to them. I do feel sad for them.
The others...aren't attractive in the least.

You know what, Mr. D.? I still remember when you said that in the kitchens you have worked in that most of the cooks and chefs used drugs. I used to really respect chefs and after you let that cat out of the bag, all I can think about now when me and Ma go to our favorite restaurant (The Olive Garden) is whether the cooking staff is using drugs. Those cooks will never be chefs and open their own restaurant like you wanted to do. They just want a job to get by - one that doesn't make any demands on them so they can just keep getting high. Don't you want more out of life than that? Do you want people like that cooking your special recipes in your 10 star restaurant coming in hung over and watching porn in between making patrons dinners?

There it is. You might as well just say it straight out. Your irrational prejudices are showing.

I wasn't talking to you - I was talking to Mr. D. You can go do whatever you choose as far as I'm concerned. I don't care one iota. I do, however, care about Mr. D.

Why would they're watching porn?I worked in a restaurant,nobody was watching porn there.
Stoners make the best chefs,they appreciate good tasty food that's healthy and enjoy cooking it.The creative juices just flow with the bong rips.
Maybe that's not oregano on the chicken parm at Olive Garden.lol

Wanting marijuana legalized is not the same thing as wanting to smoke it every day. Anyone making that claim is seriously lacking in the logic department and I would not want them involved in my healthcare.

The cooks at the Olive Garden are more stoners than cooks, in some cases. All their recipes require is not leaving the bag in the boiling water for too long. Oh, yeah.

Lol I've never eaten there.I prefer privately owned restaurants over chains.You are more likely to get real food that's prepared by hand and cooked on the spot.
