4/20!!!!

[preslove]

I'm not sure exactly how true that statement is, but if you compare people who drink alcohol vs. smoke cigarettes vs. smoke weed, only one of those is illegal.

Does the fact that weed smokers are willing to break the law to enjoy their drug of choice make them any more likely to steal to support that habit? I don't know, but when they are also vocal about their habit then it has to make you wonder if they may be.

Another thought: have you ever meet a pot smoker who didn't also smoke cigs and drink alcohol? That kind of combined habit really gets expensive. Someone who comes to me for an $8/hr job who openly advertises those kinds of habits isn't making a very good case for me hiring them into a cash handling position, IMHO.

My alcohol consumption goes WAY down if I'm smoking. Like, almost nil. If I don't have access to weed, I tend to drink a 6 pack a week, which puts me on the low end of alcohol consumption, too. I don't smoke cigarettes.

Again, what positions are you trying to fill when you have a bunch of morons displaying their weed habits on the internet?

 

[Nik]

Because even alcoholics know coming to work drinking/drunk is almost impossible to pull off.

Do they? How do you know that they all think that?

That's the point esp those on welfare, they don't earn enough to support their habits.

It is "lower" income for where I live, but I do more than fine. Also, you're assuming I only bring home 1 grand a month after taxes yet I just told you I make literally just shy of 50k a year? The fuck?

Don't worry, he gets his rocks off by imagining that everyone else in the world is below him. He has a psychopathic obsession with money and judges everyone based on how much he projects that they earn to feel better about himself. Just ignore him.

Yeah I know, I've read his posts. He's a dumbfucking wise and beautiful woman.

Paladin, more people drink alcohol than don't drink alcohol. So it is safe to assume that the majority of weed smokers consume alcohol. Just like it's safe to assume the majority of people who consume coffee, also consume alcohol. Starbucks is damn near as expensive as my marijuana, maybe more so depending on how many times a day you go, would you give someone who is addicted to coffee/caffeine a job?

Also IT IS NOT ILLEGAL FOR ME TO CONSUME WEED.

Yeah, we get the game...claim something unprovable and require medical marijuana.

I assumed 48k, which should be around 1500 after taxes and no other deductions like insurance, 401k, etc

 

[BoomerD]

4-20 already? I'm excited...I think.

 

[Paladin3]

Paladin, why should someone be ashamed of smoking weed? I can understand the morons that have album and album of pictures of them partying on their facebook, but to me that doesn't really mean shit anyways. That's their PERSONAL LIFE. WORK IS DIFFERENT. WORK IS WORK. As long as they show up sober and do their fucking job, who cares what they do in their fucking personal life? Only you because you're a creep. I see absolutely no issue with you not wanting people to be high or drunk on the job, that's fine. But drug testing people for marijuana hardly even proves that. It just proves they've consumed within the last 30 days, not that they were high that moment. Alchy test is the only one you can pull that off with.

That was one of the things I hated about working in that industry. No one gave a fuck if I went home and pounded a 5th of vodka a night, but if I hit that J ONCE I would lose my job.

I've got 10 applicants for every one position I can fill. Who would you hire? The guy who gives me 420phil@yahoo for an email address (I've had very similar) or the guy who has on his Facebook page that he coaches little league baseball in his spare time?

And, again, you didn't read a thing I typed. I said: If I can't tell from your public persona, actions or failed drug test that you use pot or drink beyond the social norms then it is a non-issue for me. Got it that time?

If you can keep your illegal drug use hidden from your employer and don't let it impact your job performance then I hope you have a long and profitable career.

Well that's because you don't know jack fucking shit, my bring home is just below 700 a week and two weeks of work is my living expense(including my weed bill). the other two weeks go and sit in my bank account.

 

[alkemyst]

Do they? How do you know that they all think that?

There are studies on this, especially if you have access to HR materials.

That's why people don't drive drunk. Because they know they can't get away with it.

HR "materials" are infallible, right? And only you have access to this apparently top secret information, right?

Live at home or a commune? No health insurance?

 

[slightlyhuman]

I'm not trying to say that people who smoke are pathetic. What I'm saying is the ones that do it constantly and don't ever think of anything else (I know a couple of people like this) are pathetic.

oh go fuck yourself. so people who play world or warcraft or any other video game, hobby are pathetic? you're what, 17? grow up.

i used to smoke a lot of bud. more than most people but i took care of my shit. my bills were always paid, etc.

some theories people go by around here are fucking retarded.

Dude I just don't make shit up, please show proof of these drinkers returning to work.

Usually when it happens it's known and they are terminated so it's not a popular choice even by addicts.

 

[Paladin3]

...Also IT IS NOT ILLEGAL FOR ME TO CONSUME WEED.

If it is legal for you then there is no issue. All I would do if you were my employee is ask for a doctors note and then send you to one of our doctors to make sure that any effects of your medication would not present a safety issue for you on the job.

But, honestly, I would probably not hire you, more based on the attitude you have displayed on this forum than your drug use. You keep calling me names and implying things I didn't say to defend your illegal drug use.

 

[slightlyhuman]

I think you're just a little ignorant when it comes to alcoholics. They will try to get a drink whenever they can, lunch or break are the perfect time. Also, no problem for you running your shop how you feel like. I wouldn't want a bunch of non-sober mother fuckers working for me either, but just because someone smokes weed doesn't mean they are going to smoke on the job. Quite a few people in my office smoke, pretty much everyone knows I do, I've never been asked to partake in a toke while at work. After work? Yup. Not during. We sure as fuck have gone out for drinks though, supervisor even paid for it.



lol. Dumbass I live in Southern California. I'm in the center of marijuana culture. I get my weed legally from a medical clinic. I have a doctors recommendation because I don't want to take the anti-psychotics they gave me to cure my nausea, nor should that be my only fucking option. I also enjoy just getting high, just like I enjoy drinking water, doing push ups, watching Futurama, and calling you a dumbass.

Interesting tid bit, I never consumed marijuana until after I turned 18. I never smoked when I had a job that required me to take drug tests in order to stay employed, can't have THC in your system when you work in oil/gas fields and oil/gas refineries. You should know that though.

ignore him bfdd. there's a tool in every shed.

Live at home or a commune? No health insurance?

Minimum, I can save a grand a month. I do not live at home, I car pool as much as I can or walk places. I live a very minimalistic life style and I don't exactly eat out all the time.

I personally know an alcoholic that drinks before work in the morning, at lunch and when he goes home. Every day.

I worked with a lady who had her medical card and was fired anyway. The company had a zero tolerance regardless of what the state allows.

It's no different than companies firing alcoholics for blowing hot while on the clock even though they're under the legal limit.

You're talking to me based on my personal life, this forum. How I work on YOUR time and how I act one MY time are very different things. But don't trip, I wouldn't apply for your $8/hr job anyways. I can make more bumping shoulders with illegals.

Well, no Nik that isn't true it is very different than blowing hot while on the clock. To blow anything, you had to have consumed alcohol recently. To fail a marijuana drug test, you just have to have consumed within the last 2 - 4 weeks. You can have been sober for 2 weeks, yet still fail. That is ridiculous. It is just easier, if the job is that important, to just STOP all together.

So no to health insurance, how much savings do you really have? Should be nice saving $1k every month.

Like most potheads you probably have less than a grand in a chase free checking account

I'm not going to answer simply because you want to know. And, of course, you won't believe me even though I know this person. It's going to be entertaining having one more notch in the wall under the "Alky thinks he knows everything and everyone who disagrees with him is wrong no matter what" column.
