Myself I agree with Dave it doesn't belong in the workplace. Where I work you can kill yourself or someone else pretty quickly. Stupid tweaker ass took off 3 of my fingers back in 97 and even though they put them back on theyre never going to work right again.

That being said I would rather work around someone who smoked a j 3 days ago than a guy who was out drinking until 1AM the night before.

Tough call on whats an invasion. At my employment your only tested on reasonable suspicion or if you have an OTJ accident.

Good point, and I bet there are a damn sight more hungover boozers than MJ smokers.

I think EVERYONE should be required to smoke weed at least once a week.

The world would be a much better place.

Everyone would fail the test. Read the post carefully before you reply, please.

BTW, it was intended as a tongue-in-cheek comment. As in----not serious.

Not sure if your aware but medicinal mary jane is legal in several states now.

I am curious as to how an employer will handle a positive test for it when its doctor prescribed

If you've got a prescription you're covered, it don't report as positive.

Like time release morphine

A bear walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, sorry, but we don't serve bears here.

The bear points at a woman sitting at the bar and says, if you don't serve me I'll eat her. The bartender shrugs and says, doesn't matter.

So the bear eats the woman. He points at the bartender and says, serve me NOW!.

The bartender says, trembling, I can't serve you now for sure, we can't serve you if you're on drugs.

The bear, surprised, says I'm not on drugs! The bartender looks him straight in the eye and says:

That was a bar-bitch-you-ate.

:-) I'm here all week.

Pete

If they are so effing deserving why don't they have the jobs already? BTW if y'all are looking for idiots try the RNC or Mahogany Row.
