It is a complete myth that weed is a safety issue. I have smoked weed almost every day for years, but I live a perfectly normal life. I’m not some stoner who just sits around and smokes all day. I got good grades in college, I’ve held a technical and detail oriented job for a long time, I have healthy and functional relationships, and I’m mentally active. I just happen to also like smoking weed.
I feel pretty slighted by this old-timer perception that marijuana smokers are unproductive people who can’t concentrate to the point of being dangerous or unviable. It just shows how misinformed higher-ups are about what a real person who smokes weed is actually like. If you can drink some beers the night before work, but not a few hours before work, then I don’t see the difference with weed. It seems we need to get with the times and illegalize testing employees for THC.
