Time for me to move on from Webroot
-
When I was a kid I remember my dad telling my about a guy at Eastman Kodak that was passed out drunk on his desk most of the day. He would drink at work and was often useless.
I asked "why didn't they fire him?"
He said "Why would they fire him for that, he's the best guy for the job. He got the work done and did it better than anyone else. What difference is it to Kodak that he likes to drink? Kodak cared about the job getting done, not about pushing a corporate agenda of tea totalling."

That's a lot of "ruling out" over a personal agenda not tied to corporate value.
What if it is a corporate value though - healthier employees.
But it's a necessary medicine for a lot of people. One of the reasons to ALLOW it is for healthier employees! Not that any drug automatically makes people healthier or unhealthier, but you are basically saying that you'd happily make innocent people unhealthy and guilty ones more healthy and/or that you want to filter out people who need medication which is just evil.
Imagine if you fired anyone who needed heart burn medication or medication for heart attacks to "eliminate the unhealthy"!!!
Well, if we limit the discussion purely to weed, I'll agree with you. But if we include cigarettes, yeah - no.
Sure, I'd STILL not be willing to limit in that way but it is SO much better to not hire cigarette smokers than weed smokers. If you were to choose one of the two, cigarettes make you a health liability, tend to take tons of breaks at work, smell bad, bother other workers, etc. But I'd still never drug test for tobacco INSTEAD of determining someone's value at work. Firing someone for dipping or whatever would be considered insane... and yet it is so much better than hiring based on someone not smoking weed.
Yep I agree with all those things.
I'm on your side Scott - I don' t think we should drug test expect for things you previously stated (doctors, heavy equipment operators). Now that said, if a company is going to "have you drive something while on the clock" it should be fine to require they truthfully answer - do you smoke weed/do drugs, if so, you can't be behind a wheel while on the clock for me, period. But sitting behind a desk - fine.
This thread is full of persoonal bias from a lifetime of brainwashing and propaganda.
Why would someone who is hungover from a night of binge drinking be allowed to operate machinery and not someone who smoked a joint the night before? Why? Because you have been trained your entire life to think drugs are bad... that is the only reason you would say this.As for people who smoke not being hireable, well I don't know where yall live, but in Washington, many highly successful people smoke. Many successful people drink. Why should there be some sort of discrimination between types of inebriation off the clock?

I guess I should clarify a bit. Legalization imo should take place on the federal level ASAP though it never will... This state is flooded with stoners now... Not saying some aren't smart but they've managed to wreck the population entirely. I can't take the traffic or day to day commute anymore... For states looking to legalize in hopes of getting tax money it'll work but at what cost?

Everyone in our company gets drug tested randomly at least once per month. If you work on site they draw your name for that day and you go do it and a breathalyzer on site. If you work from home they draw your name that day and they have to go to their doctor and have it done.

People on probation getting tested less often than that!!! lol

No joke. The police officer that did our D.A.R.E. program told us a story about a guy who ended up getting killed from having his first beer ever. She also told us that marijuana is as addictive as crack, heroine, or any other street drug so if you try it once you will never be able to stop and it will ruin your life.
I went to a christian school at the time and even these super conservatives that ran the school were completely shocked at her approach. She acted like in 5th grade, we have never seen our parents or anyone drink beer.

For states looking to legalize in hopes of getting tax money it'll work but at what cost?
It'll even out. It's only a problem now because of the combination of massive American stoner culture combined with only a few states legalizing it. So the first ones got flooded. But now that California and Texas have legalized, that will slow down a lot. Once NY and a few more, like FLA, do, you'll notice the stoner migration almost entirely stop. It is only happening right now because there are so many people who want it and so few places to go (and the places to go are not very big, single major metro states.)
There is a reason why Europe doesnt have this problem even thought it is basically legal everywhere.

You used the word "smoking" I think, which many people use as a drug term for tobacco, rather than a generic term for burning herbs in a wrap.

You are in the wrong part of the country. Deep south and the NorthEast are likely to be the last to legalize. Or Arizona where they just hate everyone.
