I can understand where they are coming from, and if they suspected the guy or his performance lacked, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

So he joins the air force and sacrifices himself to the country, gets a back injury..........doesn't want to take perkaset or oxycontin which well we know is highly addictive and destroys your internal organs (which for some reason is legal but erbz aren't??????) so he gets fired???


sweet glad that people are using their brains these days.

Also wanted to say its nice to know that even though the majority of people who live around you and in your state agree, you still can't do it because of some ******* in the federal gov.

We will ****ing anex ourselves off and dump this ****ing country on it's ***!!

CA should be able to do whatever the **** we want, we are america.

New York is important too

 

dont you mean succeed, not anex [sic]?

 

yes but i didn't think i was spelling it right.lol. You get my point

 

who's to say he doesn't operate machinery, vehicles or other things that could cause bodily harm to himself, his coworkers, or the public while on duty. As a business is that something you would want to be liable for? How would you be able to tell if he is currently under the influence when something happens? Last I checked there wasn't a field sobriety device like a breathalyzer for marijuana.

 

Well,

RON PAUL in '08 is your answer my friends.

 

medicinal or not, if something...ANYTHING is affecting your ability to work to your full potential, a potential that is needed to perform your job...then yes, it should be banned regardless of your past or present standings/efforts.

Now, I'm not saying that people should use Marijuana, but if the guy wants to choose that medicine over another, he better be ready to pay the consequences, one of those being finding a job that doesn't mind the use of the drug/affects of the drug in their workplace.

 

Secede

That may also lead to success, but that's still up for debate.

 

I just think it's funny what you guys say. He would have a much worse time operating machinery or affecting his job on a legal pain killer, that is my point and it's a fact.

He works for a tech company, he isn't building bridges or flying airplanes. It wasn't like he was getting high at work.........

 

If you can't tell then there should be no problem? you would tell by the quality of his work? You guys seem to have some logic errors here.

The point i'm trying to make is it being illegal is retarded given the reasons for making it illegal.


A cup of coffee or a bad attitude can change the way someone operates, does that mean we should ban those too???


I mean stop trying to argue and really think about it.

You can't just say "what they could do",

 

Hehe, I'm not too proud of it, but I've used medical marijuana before, and that stuff takes a while to fade away.

Plus, if he was injured, I'd put him injury leave.

It has nothing to do with the fact that he's on medication, shiet, I work every single day and I'm on medication, I'm just saying that marijuana has detrimental effects to a person's reflexes, thought process, common sense, etc. and that would stand in the way of the guy being able to perform the necessary tasks needed for his job if you say he's working with computers.

I've tried programming while high before...it just don't work. (=

 

and y0, you know I ain't trying to argue with you, but as a manager of a branch of a corporation, I won't tolerate someone's performance being below what I know they can do. If the changes the marijuana made to him were undetectable, why would they force him to take a drug test?

 

I agree, and thats a good question. If his perf. lacked or he was cheebing before work thats 1 thing.

But if he smokes a little after he gets home before he goes to bed, that isn't going to affect him the next day.

If you are a repeat user the effects are much less, and don't throw off reflexes etc.. as much.

For some people I truly feel it has no negative effect with that, especially if you are working on something that you have learned reflexes/muscle memory.

Im not saying you could never smoke then get the best stuff and it wouldn't mess you up, but if you are medical user and use the right amm. everyday it shouldn't affect you like that.
