Weed? Ya, it was a govt propaganda back in the....50s? They linked black crimes to marijuana and it was decided to be added to the illegal substance act (cant remember the actual name of it) and here it is 60 years later with idiots still following blindly.

Although I agree with you that it is in fact stupid for weed to be illegal, I still understand that it IS against the law, and abuse of that law will bring consequences.

Problem being some idiots have been in congress for 45+ years (ex. ted kennedy)...its old school thinking in there still.

Weed is legal?

Im trying to figure out wtf your asking honestly. I figured it was a misprint since i was reffering to things that were illegal.

I'm basically wondering why you don't see why companies can require drug screening.

I understand WHY they can, i also understand why they do it. However, i have a problem with them ruining lives based on an inaccurate test. And not only that, but i have a problem with the fact that im doing something OFF company time, and its none of their fckin business unless it interferes with my work. There should be no need to drug test. If someone doesnt do their job, get rid of them. If they are doing their job, who gives a fck.

Now, under certain jobs where insurance is required (doctors, pilots, etc.) I would think it would make more sense (as long as the test was near 100% accurate) since these types of job could injure themselves as well as others and cost them a lot more money. But to be a delivery driver, carhop, even a fcking salesman. What does it matter if they get high at home?

Of course it can. It can also be applied differently.


I would love to read an explanation for that.

ok...you suggested that a law allowing a company to do as they deem fit, is a good thing, and basically agreed with it (no you didnt say it in those words, but we all know what you were getting at)

then you said, if a company deems it fit to base employment on a drug test its 100% fine.

then you said, if a company deems it fit to base employment on race its 100% not fine.

thats hypocritical and going against the whole idea of a company running it self on what it thinks is right for the company.

Why are you even arguing that, I think to 95+% of the population thats obvious to understand the reasoning (the other racist 5% like deerhunt don't count)

1. A company is allowed to drug test whenever they want.

2. A company cannot discriminate someone based on race, it a LAW.

See the difference?

So, within written law, a company can do almost whatever they please...this includes drug-testing you.
