should be illegal. People go into work impaired all the time using drugs that they have prescriptions for, but they don't get fired when they're tested. I would much rather have someone working for me who used cannabis than someone who takes prescription Oxycontin. I'd rather have a cannabis user than someone who has too many drinks at lunch, or someone with a bad hangover from the night before. Our drug laws and regulations need to be reconsidered. Employers shouldn't be allowed to fire someone over something so trivial as a piss test for THC.

If people can get fired over a legal act, then I see sales dropping big time. To the extreme, what if they tested 10K people tomorrow across the state on a random test, and they all came up positive and were fired? Losing 10K people could be a real issue. This is sooooo screwed up.

Being fired for something legal? OMG!!!

that class of fucks don't like to see anyone have a good time except themselves. For some reason us having a good time is a threat to them. Sorry bunch no doubt.

You know, I just don't really give a flying fuck how anyone else gets in on in their own home but the pukies gets their panties or shorts all stretched out of shape over that, as a 'for instance.'
As I look back I think the fact we were getting it on where they weren't has a lot to do with it. A tip to the 'CONs you guys and gals are way too up tight is your problem. Right out of the gate they fuck up. f'm
