agreed. if the potsmokers will help me fight for the right to own a machine gun, i'll help them with their right to grow and smoke.
 
Seriously, Chevron drug test so I don't plan on blowing a job making a buck twenty five on da herb. But upon retirement or them deciding its a waste of corporate funds, I'll be burning daily.
I'm not a beer or whiskey drinker but I smoke for the same reason most people drink a little relaxation that's all. Why the fuck can't I do that in my own home?

I have very little respect for people who don't work or do anything but smoke pot. When I lived in Toronto, I was surrounded by pot heads. Many of them are worthless people who contribute nothing to society. That said, the government can't stop people from smoking pot any more than they can stop prostitution, alcohol, gambling and other vices.

The best solution is to legalize it, tax it, and get over it.

I have known people who smoke pot all my life.

I dont know one person who does nothing but smoke pot all day long.

I'm glad that you at least see it right in the end.

Legalize is the only smart thing to do with pot.

Tax the shit out of it.

I've seen way more useless alcoholics than potheads. I fricken race downhill mountainbikes totally stoned. You need to meet some more diverse pot smokers before you lump them all into the do-nothing crowd.
Some of us are highly productive

Ya know what the real bitch about this thread is, at least for me? I dont' even smoke the weed. I can't. Random drug testing at work and I like being employed.

The wingnuts great hero Ronal Reagan said my employer has the right to violate my privacy when I'm not at work.

CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?!

I like being known as "Ole". It characterizes me correctly as wise, and venerable. Like the old slave, with the true wisdom of the people in his wrinkled and worn visage.

LOL You know what scares the hell out of me is that I feel much safer with you owning a machine gun than STY.

I was hoping that someone would eventually bring this up. I don't use recreational drugs, simply a personal choice, but I feel a tremendous outrage over the fact that some employers feel they have the right to force staff to undergo random drug testing, without any cause for doing so. It seems to me that this unlikely to be resolved until someone successfully challenges this idiocy in court, and the question there is, of course, who will undertake the expense and exposure to do so? The practice is invasive, and to my limited legal view, seems to represent at least search, if not seizure, without cause, which is unconstitutional.

The only reason I can fathom that someone hasn't challenged this to date is that whoever does it will probably be vulnerable and may not be willing to risk the publicity and/or possible exposure as a recreational drug user. I'm strongly against it and I don't even use.
