A tried and true fallback. When you have an empty argument attack what someone does for a living.
Dry at work doesn't mean sober and unimpaired.
Me? Hmmm let me see. 30+ years handling explosives while getting up at 4 in the morning to ski around in the semi-dark and snow looking at areas that might avalanche? 97% or my partners drank or partook.
Worked on numerous ski lift projects including the Lone Peak tram. Operated a lot of different types of heavy equipment, dozers and excavators.
Oh and I don't smoke weed anymore, recognize it has its down sides and was only responding to SSs bullshit.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Come on. Bobby loves to brag about how much money he makes, so anytime he brings it up it's good to remind him that he sells used cars. He's really done something with his life to be proud of.

Writing a mistake off as a "stoner" mistake is laughable. You know for a fact they were high? So mistakes made by people who don't smoke are because why exactly?
I know many executive level people that smoke a lot of weed and run large companies. Are they stoned at work...no. They're not drunk at work either.

The roofers who shingled our house in Sacramento years ago (14 in 12 pitch) had fists fights up there. There was a short crew on Monday when one of them was in jail. I don't know if they were smoking pot.

I'm amazed someone could get good enough footing on a 14/12 pitch to get in a fist fight.

t doesn't matter if the roofers were stoners, tweakers, or something else altogether, it is still impressive. I am in awe.

Not at all. If you're a stoner you know what stoner mistakes are.

IIRC, he had reported use rates of 1 oz/week which is nuts. Not exactly a lightweight. No wonder he has a warped perspective.
This is the norm, not the exception. A majority of people don't even enjoy the opioid high, and among those who do most have no interest in chronic use (this holds true across all classes of drugs, too). Personally, I enjoy the opioid high, but only occasionally and in small doses. 5 mg of hydro/oxycodone makes for a very enjoyable Friday night, and then I won't even think about it for 2-4 weeks. 10 mg just means a night of sleepless tweaker itching and a constipation the next day. Grosses me out just thinking about it.
Bottom line is that actual addiction rates for opioids really are quite low. The vast majority of opioid addicts already had a history of alcohol and illicit drug use before they started opioids, and most received them from friends, family or dealers, not doctors. For those who do become addicted, it is generally not because of the inherent addictive power of the drug:
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com...not-the-cause/
If we want to reduce opioid addiction, we have to target the real risk factors for it: child trauma, mental illness and unemployment. Two thirds of people with opioid addictions have had at least one severely traumatic childhood experience, and the greater your exposure to different types of trauma, the higher the risk becomes. We need to help abused, neglected and otherwise traumatized children before they turn to drugs for self-medicatation when they hit their teens.
Further, at least half of people with opioid addictions also have a mental illness or personality disorder. The precursors to these problems are often evident in childhood, too. For example, children who are extremely impulsive are at high risk—but on the opposite end of the scale, so, too are children who are highly cautious and anxious. To reach these kids, we don’t need to label them, but we do need to provide tools that are tailored to their specific issues to prevent them from using drugs to manage those issues.
The final major risk factor for addiction is economic insecurity and poverty, particularly unemployment and the hopelessness, social marginalization and lack of structure that often accompany it. For example, heroin addiction rates among people who make less than $20,000 a year are 3.4 times higher than in people who make over $50,000. To those who study the effects of inequality on health, it is no coincidence that the collapse of the white middle class has been accompanied by a rise in all types of addictions, but especially addiction to opioids.
As for other drugs, a sober review of the evidence shows that the dangers of methamphetamine are overhyped: https://www.opensocietyfoundations.o...d-20140218.pdf
While I can't provide data to support the idea, I find it unlikely that if all drugs were suddenly legalized people would start snorting cocaine, smoking PCP, etc. en masse. Most wouldn't even enjoy it, and generations of stigma don't disappear overnight. Measured use of psilocybin and MDMA could probably improve most people's lives. Bottom line, all drugs carry risks, but that is just as true of OTC drugs and numerous supplements (a virtually unregulated industry). The question is not whether any particular drug carries risks, the question is whether those risks outweigh the fiscal and social costs of prohibition. In nearly all cases, "hard" drugs included, prohibition is worse than the drugs. Also, this:
“You want to know what this was really all about?” he asked with the bluntness of a man who, after public disgrace and a stretch in federal prison, had little left to protect. “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
John Ehrlichman--Chief domestic advisor to Richard Nixon

I manage the day to day operations of a comerical construction site with over 400 tradesmen/women. We drug test during hire, random, and at cause/accident. I have seen a few accidents where someone was drunk or using. No one should do any dangerous work or operate any vehicle or piece of equipment under any mind altering substance, weed included. But whether or not someone smokes or drinks after work is the least of my worries...
The catalyst to making weed legal is the testing. The current testing process shows positive if you used marijuana in the last 5-30 days. We need a test to know if you are stoned now, not if you were stoned sometime last week. Without that there is no way to enforce rules against driving/operating stoned.
