I'm sure some dope heads would be fired. I'm not saying that every person that smokes some weed is going to show up to work stoned, but I bet more then a few would.Dilbert_X wrote:

If your job drug tests, it would be stupid for you to smoke it. If your job doesn't drug test, why would they fire you?{M5}Sniper3 wrote:

My work loves me and the only one that knows that I smoke is my boss (we puffed at the company Christmas party ). They'd be utterly retarded to fire me for smoking, because I do work, son.

Alot of people who smoke weed, show up to work stoned now. Legalizing it wouldnt change much in that area.{M5}Sniper3 wrote:

As I've already said, people generally pick and chose which laws to follow and rightly so. It's common sense that if alcohol is legal then Cannabis should be too. Thus it's one of the most broken "laws" in the US and UK. People are going to do it regardless, and if you legalise and tax it a lot of people will probably still chose black market weed if it's cheaper. However there will b a lot of people that buy the legal weed, and this is money you otherwise wouldn't have had to spend on education. Or on a renewed "War on bad-der drugs".
The govt would make billions in taxes, which is better than South American gangsters making billions I guess, should more than cover a few welfare cheques.M5Sniper3 wrote:

Anyway, theres always a space for stoners to work, collecting shopping trolleys, roadkill, that kind of thing.
Sure they wouldn't be out of work for too long.

I smoked pot for 3 of 5 years at school and came out in the top 5% of the UK. I was in top sets all through school and attended like 97.5% of the lessons. I am no exception, there are common misconceptions that people who smoke pot come out as brain dead when they're not. It's simply not true for the majority, if you got shit to do, don't smoke it. When your shit is done, by all means relax.Dilbert_X wrote:

Yeah, buying and having them on you like cigs now would not change society. It fucks you up like alchahol but with no hang over and it is easier to conceal. I know people that started smoking in HS and roll out of bed in the morning and light up, light up at work, and sit around watching TV stoned all night. They are worthless and drains on society that do stupid shit constantly that put other at risk and fuck up others lives.
So, I for one don't want my kids to end up on the school bus driven by the stoner that decided to light up that morning. It is bad enough it happens all ready when you can drug screen people because it is " Illegal ".
Fucktard stoner rejects. Drink some whiskey and learn to control yourself so you can do it like a man and not end up without puking and hung over everytime you want " to be stoned ".

OTOH I know people who did much better than me at school and did a lot of dope at uni.
One of them took ten years to finish his degree and is now 'managing' an aged care home, ie formulating the bed-pan emptying roster and paying the electric bill.
The other is a paranoid unemployable chainsmoker.
In my experience it screws up a good number of people who use it, I don't think smoking it is a good thing.
But anecdotal evidence is not a whole lot of use, I recommend we run a trial in the US.

As far as your claim that marijuana causes schizophrenia, that's hooey. The evidence is that if you have a preexisting mental condition pot use could exacerbate and/or elicit that condition.
Sometimes I get a bit paranoid after too much and my level of intelligence drops to that of Lotta.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Then when I wake up my intelligence rises past Lotta's, past my pet Dog's, past my 8 year old cousins, and finally past the average persons, in that order.

Lulz, I said it as an example to prove ignorant tools(such as yourself) that seem to think anyway that occasionally smokes the drug has an IQ of 50 and can't function. Ironic how me, a person that smokes the on a weekly basis, give or take, can be more intelligent than yourself. Now the area in which you grew up in may well be a breeding ground for ignoramuses who think teh muslims are bad, teh drugs are teh bad and you're at war with the commies still cause they're evil, but come on.

Congrats on your weekly drug habit and enlightened world view! I am sure you are a very smart person and I will rethink my position on legalising pot now that I know you are in the 95th percentile of English people despite a drug habit.jord wrote:

Oh and surprisingly I drink Scotch but am not an Alchaholic, have good teeth, am not Irish, and don't beat my wife. Despite this I realise it does fuck up many people and cause lots of problems. Knowing this I don't think we need more mind altering substances legalised when we already have one screwing up people. Especially one that is easy. Easy and quick to use like a cig and doesn't give you hang overs. Easy to abuse. Easy for someone in the 95th percentile of English wittery to abuse even though it is outlawed.

That's better than the Mexican gangsters putting out a $100k bounty on my head when I was working counter-drug ops in the mid-90's. Make them legitimate importing businesses, then arrest their asses before the statute of limitations expires on their illegal activities.Dilbert_X wrote:
