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.

There is an alcohol test for those on probation or zero tolerance jobs that can detect consumption just like a weed test.

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

Yes I have health insurance. It is quite fucking good health insurance as well. We are owned by a large French corp and they are nice to us by keeping our health insurance standards up even though the new Obamacare shit kind of fucked us by raising rates. Right now I only have a few grand in the bank because I have been working on fixing my financials for the last year. To be honest, it's not even my money anyways. I already promised it to my brother to help pay his tuition.

As I predicted.

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.

Because you are lying. Impossible to known for sure morning lunch and night on anyone that is not yourself and who is going to report this to anyone each day?

"hey bro, did the drinking trifecta again today...shit was so money!"

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.

And the only point I came to this thread to make was that people who do illegal drugs should not broadcast it, as the OP did. If they do then they should expect to be treated with the stigma society and employers often associate with such activity. Keep it to yourself and you will get by just fine. I wasn't trying to disrespect you, which you seem to think I have based on the insults you keep hurling my way.

I personally think drugs should be legal because the economical and social cost of enforcement it too great. I'm tired of paying to jail people who smoke pot and tired of seeing people unable to work and support themselves because of a drug conviction. That's why I advocate people who do smoke pot keeping it to themselves.

Or change the current laws...whatever's easier for you.

See? I told you so.

I know this person very well, he's like a brother to me. You don't care because it doesn't fit into the delusional world you've built around yourself. You know why you can't understand this? Because you're such a piece of shit that nobody wants to get that close to you.

Report it? Why would I report it? I'm not his father, he makes his own decisions.

"hey bro, did the drinking trifecta again today...shit was so money!"

If that's really what you think alcoholics sound like, you're just proving that you don't really know any functional alcoholics. I'm not sure how that can be the case; I'd have guessed that you are permadrunk with the bullshit you post.

Whatever you say bud. You haven't predicted shit.

Like I said it's doubtful any potheads have more than a grand in a free chase acct, you say you can save over $1k per month yet have less than that in the bank yet blow $300 on weed.

It proves the thought process and why no one wants these losers on their staff.

I do know some very responsible smokers, I dated one last year or so. She was going through more than probably $300 a month though. Owned her own house and no longer had to work for a living.

I know a pothead that busts his ass to make $6,5xx per month and spends less than 40% of what he makes per month. The rest goes into savings.

You're just full of bullshit, as usual.

It doesn't matter what the stigma of society is. I don't live for society. If you do, that's chill man that's on you. I'm all for that, but just because YOU respect the "stigma" doesn't mean everyone does and that should be quite the fuck obvious. PS your "or change the current laws" why do you think so many people flaunt it? If everyone is doing it and not giving a shit, the law will change quite a bit quicker don't you think?

also, i haven't really been hurling insults your way... mostly towards alk. I think we're having some miss fires on the communications channels. wires crossed etc etc. unless you take me saying i wouldn't even apply to your place because i can make more bumping shoulders with illegals as an insult. which it isn't, it's just the truth.

Not you reporting it, others.

Not even ones brother would discuss this thing nor could you know it was everyday and no one else.

I guess you need to lie now to proven me wrong.

Well I obviously just did discuss it, so yet another delusion you live behind. I don't know that anyone else doesn't report him (because, unlike you, I concede that I cannot know everything) but his management doesn't care anyway.

I don't have to prove that you're wrong to anyone or even you. I just know that you're wrong and that's good enough for me. Also, I like to catch you in your delusions and point them out in case someone else misses it.

I don't have a chase account.... I've used a local credit union since I was like 13.

I also just said I've been fixing my financials. That can mean any number of things. But if you must know, I made dumb decisions a few years ago and I kept making them even though I had to help my parents afford their house and living expenses because my step mom got to sick to work. I have just recently hit the break even point and am getting ahead. Like I said earlier as well, I am going to help pay for my brothers tuition for school as well. Dartmouth is expensive and my step mom still isn't bring in as much as she used to yet.


oh I forgot to mention. Those "mistakes" I made had nothing to do with weed. I didn't smoke then.

This makes no sense, if he got into dartmouth there should be financial aid, you saying you make $50k working with illegals doesn't either.

Are you getting like $675 a week under the table and equating that to $50k if w2?

Wow his management doesn't mind him working drunk?
