So....just playing the Devil's Advocate here....but let's say this person went along with someone else screening for the same job.
The other person popped for opiates...then produced a prescription bottle of painkillers. Difference?

It depends on what kind of painkillers. If it was an opiatoid, no difference. The rule is against anything that would cause mental impairment. The company has a legal obligation to protect the public from its mentally impaired drivers. To require them to hire a marijuana addict or someone on mind fogging opiates would be to buy the lawsuits that the public would undoubtably bring against them in the expected accidents.

"Medical marijuana" and its legal status is just more evidence of how corrupt our society has been made by the Drug War. "Medical marijuana" is just a doctor's license to get high. During the prohibition of alcohol, you could also get a medical prescription for alcohol.

Not sure I want to come off as Mr MedPot....that's not my intention....but I do know a few people of both types.
Ones that benefit greatly from medical pot. Know how your arm or leg feels when it is waking up after you've put it to sleep? That buzzy...tingly...really uncomfortable feeling. Imagine if that was on an entire side of your body...and it wasn't tingly and uncomfortable. It hurts. It never goes away. Day in....day out. PAIN. I watched someone try eating a bit for the first time...and I also saw her relax for the first 4 hour block of time in years. Volunteered at a center in West Hollywood for a while...and there are some seriously sick people going to these places. ...and I know a few that go to score for them and their friends. None of them hurt anyone...I don't see a problem with it. Going to work intoxicated is another arguement. That's never a good plan... But you can pop positive for pot up to a month after a single use. How is a urine test proof that person is under the influence? Speed freaks can tweek away a 3 day weekend, and they're clean days afterwards. The entire THC testing concept is faulty...and an invasion of privacy with no "true" proof at the end.

I smell the stuff on the users. It gets in their clothes, on their breath, etc. They can't function generally, so it's usually apparent.
If I put the two together while they were on the job, I sent them home. happened twice in a month, I gave them 30 days off no pay to get straight. If it became a ritual they were fired. Drug use on the job injures those around them, and from experience, it cost me in damages. My trucks, tools, landlords buildings, you name it. If you're so sick that you need cannabis, it's probably best you take up disability |
