*raises hand sorta*
It'd be nice to have the option!

It's random so I don't know and in theory I have to stay clean because it could happen "whenever", but my boss has said that if I ever start appearing to be druggie they will ask me to go get tested anyway.
I get random drug tests and I hate it. I wanna get hiiiiiiiiiiiigh. By random I mean I've had one every day for three days straight before and I've also gone a full year without a drug test before.
I don't care, really. Not my deal, not interested. But it's not like it deters many people anyway so legalise it and enjoy your economic boom
Oh, I'm promoting both.
I resent that. I'm not contentious for the sake of being argumentative.... usually :tongue: But seriously, the answer is a giant yes for me.
I'll confirm that I'm in the crowd that's waiting for legalization. I would probably enjoy the effects of weed on occasion just like I do with alcohol... but not if I have to risk my job and my freedom for it.
I don't know where to acquire any if I did want some. My mom does, but she doesn't want to risk trafficking it across the state to visit me with it. It's actually pretty ironic considering the school where I work, but I can't exactly ask my students where their source is and keep my job.
As for who gets caught... ummm... the ridiculous percentage of people rotting in jail for possession charges.
How about the logic behind, "I don't want to potentially lose my job and have a drug conviction on my record ensuring that I'll never have another job in my field." You may think it's only a small risk, but any risk is too much for completely losing your livelihood (at least to me personally).
Quite a few actually. I've worked jobs that had random screenings and my cousin, who is an abysmally idiotic pothead, has gotten fired more times than I can count because of said screenings in various lines of work.
Based on the identities of the people who have said "yes" in this thread, I would like to say "no", and furthermore, I would like the penalty to be increased to death.
No, because it stinks. While we're at it, illegalise the breakdown of sewage pipes and most certainly illegalise whatever it is that drifts over to our workplace a few times each year. I think it's a chicken farm. It's awful, whatever it is.
This thread cracked me up yesterday XD
Yeah I think it should be legalized, but make it like cigarettes, labeling them as harmful and stuff. Also criminality would decrease drastically. Or is it the opposite?
It is now illegal for BoB to make bowel movements because "it stinks."
You're welcome, Edinburgh.
It's a Jewishj plot to corrupt the white youth of Euro-America
I can't control them! And they're natural! Smoking, the hanging out of large quantities of chicken flesh and the bursting of sewage pipes are all man-made and avoidable.
Also, my bowel movements don't linger or invade other people's private spaces. When the guy at the bottom of the stairs smokes pot, the smell stays in our flat's stairwell all morning.
If a compromise could be made I would be all for it. ie, don't allow it in places such as city streets, bus stops or just outside the homes of other people. If the smell doesn't reach me, I don't have a problem with it, obviously. I'd also be happy if the smell could somehow be removed altogether as that would solve the problem for everyone. I'd also not mind cigarettes so much if they could do something about that, too.
Something tells me that no matter what we do, the stink of a broken sewage pipe can't be masked very well. =/
