Now that’s grounds for quitting such a liberal minded place! Haha. At least a smoke break does not impair you like drugs or booze. Not just the company I work for most major companies in the US have Tabaco free sites And you pay more for your healthcare if you are a Tabaco user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A customer of mine is a lawyer and he wants to quit because all of the druggies have become SO stupid with these new drugs. He says cocaine is child’s play compared to what we are dealing with now. I would agree that the risk is far higher with today's favorites. But anytime the subject of cocaine comes up the feeling is the usage has not change appreciably since the glory days of the 1970's and 1980's. Most likely the same old farts are hitting it as hard as they ever did. Any drug user is taking a risk since most of it has Fentanyl added these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Also, pot is healthy as the day is long" said by the same people. News to me as I have seen repeated studies showing pot has a higher tar content per volume versus tobacco. Don't matter to me as I use neither. Where is the surgeon generals warning on legally sold weed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke people do not want users "being hassled by the man." That aside that's a good question since it is being sold in official packaging now versus a clear baggie. But nonetheless anything I have seen shows a higher tar content. Believe me or not it does not matter. If somebody cares about all the consequences then they most likely have made themselves aware of it. Maybe selective breeding like what is done with corn or soybeans has lowered the tar content somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a reputation for being a very square fellow so I never see anything. Maybe people acting suspiciously nervous for no apparent reason but that is it.

Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 You can’t have legal drugs and a welfare state. There is a certain percentage of people who will throw their life away and we will have to pay for it. If you want to do it, you shouldn’t be entitled to checks to make up for your desire to do drugs instead of work. I am aware that people are doing it anyway, but there is no way it is not going to increase if it’s legal. Count me out. There’s no government agency I am aware of who needs more money from taxes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certain percentage will be quite high when I think about all the people I have come across in my almost 60 years of being alive. Crime will keep rising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
