That is easy to say when he has to **** in a bottle to get the job.One last thing before I go, I trust my life in your hands so long as you are properly trained and confident in your work.
If thats what the man must do to ensure he can obtain employment in a field he feels is his calling then so be it. If you where to use marijuana habitually you would be more then capable of performing whatever it is you do with no flaws.That is easy to say when he has to **** in a bottle to get the job.
Wow, pull your head out of your ass. You can argue that legalities of weed all you want and claim all the proof in the world but if you genuinly believe that anyone responsible for someone elses life even has the right to consider being high then you need to have your head examined.If thats what the man must do to ensure he can obtain employment in a field he feels is his calling then so be it.

Dante, if you read the original chain of posts, you will see that what he specifically wanted to know is if he could still keep up his pot habit and be an EMT, due to the drug screening practices for that profession. IMO it is all about the weed.The point of this thread wasn't to discuss the views people have on weed....somebody asked a question about becoming an EMT.
This is the reason threads get locked.
Im not arguing the legality of marijuana at all. Nowhere in any of my posts do I argue that point. Also, being a habitual smoker and being high at work are 2 different things, I wouldnt want anyone that was High, drunk, or cracked out taking care of me either. Marijuana should be used in the privacy of your own home and not in the workplace or in a vehicle.Wow, pull your head out of your ass.

Can we add crack and meth to that list?...laMarijuana should be used in the privacy of your own home and not in the workplace or in a vehicle.
Well.....Yes. Yes I do feel that way. But I certainly dont encourage the use the majority of illicit substances. Ooh hey folks if yall dont trust the abilities of stoners to perform thier essential job functions I would stay away from any structure that has been constructed. Every building, every home, even the highrises in the city. Im not saying that everyone in the construction field uses marijuana, but a large majority do. I can understand where you are all coming from. I absolutly refuse to work with methamphetamine addicts, I feel that there work practices and ethic put peoples lives in the immediate vacinity in danger. And I understand if you all feel this way about marijuana users. Take a good look around when you get to work today people, chances are that one out of every four individuals in your work place is a habitual smoker(meaning they get high everyday, likely several times a day, and have done so for the last several years).
You are making up "facts" you should be able to back them up by more than...because I say so...laMy findings for the use of marijuana by individuals in the construction field comes from personal experiance. And being the stoner I am im just to dammed lazy to provide you with data you request. Do your own dammed research!
And it's the closeminded people like you who will cause it to remain this way, sadly. Never once considering the original reasons the plant was made illegal, only blindly following your governmental decrees like a good little sheep. Don't ever consider the fact that maybe, just maybe, what the government says *isn't* always what's best for you.Pot is illegal, simple as that.
Yea it is.. speeding increases your risk of an accident.. (in case you didnt know)Why would you make that assumption? Besides, comparing speeding to smoking dope is laughable...la
=) Pot was also Americas LARGEST cash crop in 2007... and its illegal.And it's the closeminded people like you who will cause it to remain this way, sadly.

Baa-baa li'l sheep...go on with the rest of the sheeple and always follow, never lead. Don't question authority, whatever you do. It's thinking like this that will eventually be the downfall of this once-great country. I bet you're pro-knife and gun laws as well. Regulate everything, don't let anyone live free in the "Land of the Free" for God's sake! It'll be anarchy!
Or be a politician who blows lines off of a strippers... well yea...If you want to smoke weed, then choose a career that does not involve having someone's life in your hands. A career in janitorial services springs to mind.

greater speed = greater stopping distance. I smoke pot, and break the law. You speed and break the law. Ill be fair. If we legalize weed, well take out all the speed limit signs too.which is very arguable. a few recent studies have shown that while driving quicker, you are more focused and cause less accidents (of course not while its snowing and frozen etc, under good conditions).
how you can say we are safter talking about stoned drivers is beyond me, their reaction time their concentration abilities are way off to be allowed to drive.
I consider Pot a recreational activity, like drinking. The impairing effects of alcohol are much worse than those of pot, and its legal. Oh did you know Bars encourage you to drink and drive? Your supposed to get a DD if you cant drive, but keep in mind, the average American intelligence level is that of a third grader. (reading some of the boards, i dont disagree)
haha and work a 96 hour shift too.Maybe if EMTs used Meth they would get to the emergency quicker!!!
Ever think of that you smart guys!
You Know I was going to point out the fact I score an average of 142 on the IQ Tests givin by tickle but what the hell its not a real IQ test.My views:
Yes I smoke, serveral times a day for the most part. Id say im rather intelligent, or do you need my peice of paper from college saying I am?
. And to think that any workplace including your own is drug free is laughable. QUOTE]
i concede that point that i will probably never get a 100% drug free workplace, but i will sure as hell try. And the nice message that i sent after the latest round of drug tests is to think before you toke up, it may cost you your job, your medical benefits, your paid vacation etc..

Or you, could, you know... find somewhere to work that isn't run by fascists that have nothing better to do than pry into ones private life?
Not really that hard actually if you start by saying you're not willing to compromise your own beliefs to appease someone else's sense of bloated ego and happiness in the first place. And no you don't have to compromise profession or pay for it in many cases.
Losers alright....la?LOL, just to get this on topic for this forum, I used to steal from the guild 420 every chance I had...just because of their guild name...LOSERS!!!...la
LOL, now thats funny right there, a thief talkin trash about stoners. LOSERLOL, just to get this on topic for this forum, I used to steal from the guild 420 every chance I had...just because of their guild name...LOSERS!!!...la
because i sent the office staff for tests right after the christmas holidays. I like to mix it up.May I ask why you sent the maintenace department only?
i love my job and believe it or not, my employees love me because i run a very tight ship, i keep the costs low and turn my profits back on the employees, giving them perks and benefits that most individuals do not enjoy in this economy. My greatest asset is my staff and they make my company roll on and in turn make me successful, and i treat them like my greatest asset.

however, they all realize what the rules of the game and due to the contracts i have, i need to strive for a drug free workplace to maintain what we have now. And you know what, they welcome the drug tests because it partially ensures that the success they currently enjoy will not be endangered by some selfish fool.

Casual fridays? Pizza day? "I work for Castor and all I got was this t-shirt" shirts?
Thats just horseshiet. You have good workers because you hired good workers. It has nothing to do with them smoking or not smoking weed. I know a LOT of sorry people who have never taken a single toke. I can promise you if you hired those guys they wouldn't last a week in your deptartment. On the other hand I know a lot of good hard working pot smokers who have a high work ethic and care about their quiality of life.i love my job and believe it or not, my employees love me because i run a very tight ship, i keep the costs low and turn my profits back on the employees, giving them perks and benefits that most individuals do not enjoy in this economy.
