Marijuana going legal - is it the way to go?

Do you tell your patients to stay away from salt and sugar as theyre potentially dangerous too if abused like marijuana.

 

I am not generally against legalizing marijuana, but I voted 'no' as I believe most people are not aware of the dangers of consuming cannabis.
Being neither a strict supporter nor opponent of legalization, my opinion is, that if it is legalized, it should be accompanied by a warning message like those found on tobacco products.

 

It is very dangerous for people with mental health problems. Can seriously mess up the psyche if you are predisposed for it.

Anyway, legalize it, it is less harmful than tobacco and alcohol. Maybe we could make tobacco illegal instead, so I don't have to tolerate those incredible ***** ***** ***** ***** smoking at the train station (in the "no snoking" area) anymore.

 

Yes, but they think I am crazy. Murica. Also, I am personally poor on my own avoidance of salt and sugar. I am working on it. Unvarnished truth.

 

Agreed 100% with this part. Those warnings should also be present in alcohol.

 

At this point I think it can be safely assumed that it will be legalized but the government wants to make sure it can regulate it first. I know that a fair percentage of my staff uses and I am cool with that as long as it stays on their own time. A few months back though I had to let one of my managers go because he showed up blazed out of his mind and was walking around telling the employees so. What they do on their own time is on them but when it effects the work place is where I draw the line.

As it stands right now if one of my employees was arrested for possession (I live in GA) I would have to let them go. I would be the first up there to bail them out but after that I would never see them again. If the law changes I wouldnt be under that obligation unless they were driving under the influence.

 

Actually, they absolutely do. Depending on the nature of the employment contract, companies can fire you for doing things off the clock of which the company disapproves, particularly -- but not necessarily -- if it reflects negatively on the company. Contract law is a lot more fluid and unbound than people think.

 

Legalize. Haven't seen any good arguments against.

 

Many states are "at will" employment states which means that the employer or the employee can terminate their employment for just about any reason. If I really wanted to I could fire someone because I dont like them. That said, the employee can file for unemployment insurance and unless we had documented cause for releasing the employee we are stuck paying it for a pretty decent period of time.

Edit: It should be noted that contract law is different in these states and that not all employers use an "at will contract" in these states. You will usually see it in retail or the food industry.

 

I've never understood the appeal of smoking (not even cigarettes), but I've also never seen anything that makes me think marijuana should be illegal or that people who use it should be treated as criminals.

 

The undisputed master of trees has spoken!!

 

uh oh

 

Are you bigoted against peaches??

 

yeah that's it

 

Yeah but DMR kids in the US are taught almost nothing about the real expected side effects and consequences of drugs. Instead they're fed Bane Shift like DARE that doesn't inform you but uses scare tactics to make you think that as soon as you look at a drug you immedately die. It would go a long way if the education system prepared young people to make intelligent decisions. Once weed is legal it'll probably be a lot easier to educate our youth.

 

Not sure, honestly...

 

?

 

@Bellagion @DMrBadguy I scrolled down to that and did a double take.

 

alright guys I believe I fixed it.
