Quote HistoryQuoted: I had a paint sub in the 90s who drank a 12 pack each day. He told me, “doctors orders to keep the fumes flushed out of his system”. A roofer said, “he would get dizzy and fall off if he wasn’t a bit lit”. Given that he was scurrying about on 12/12 pitches during a Carolina Summer, he may have had a point from a homeopathic perspective Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Early 80's I ran a tire service truck (truck,off road,ag). It was super common to get into a truck and it be full of beer cans. I had one customer (rig mover) that kept a keg tapped in the break room 24/7 Salt water disposals had beer cans scattered everywhere from drivers drinking while they unloaded. And then there is the construction trades, LOL painters. Getting fucked up on the job is nothing new. I had a paint sub in the 90s who drank a 12 pack each day.

The guy I mentioned earlier was that way. He called his bag of weed his "back medicine" and he would never drink at work, but as soon as the day was done he was into a 12 pack, and still drinks heavy to this day. Just isn't comfortable in his own head for too long. |

It will probably end up being worse than the 70s. I remember my neighbor talking to my dad about working in the GM plant and he said half the assembly line workers were high and the quality of work was atrocious.
One of the reasons retailers and companies went to drug testing of employees in the early 80s. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I honestly think a lot of people are not normal anymore . I see it driving , in stores , just about everywhere . People just didn’t used to act like they do now . No consideration at all for others in public it seems .  This. And MI is now a free use state. I don’t partake and likely never will, but since MI got wink-wink “medical marijuana” (which quickly became legalized completely) it’s gotten worse and worse. I’d love auto driving cars for these drones. Thing is, I hate it, but it just proves how badly the war on drugs failed. |

A LOT of people are high all the time. I was dating a surgeon, she smoked weed at LEAST 3 times a day. She managed to wreck her car driving through a self serve car wash, but she said being high did not affect her surgical skills. Ha.
Do you want your surgeon to be high? I dated a model, she smoked pot 5 times a day. She was pretty, available sexually, she said she could only orgasm with her vibrator. Hard to get off when you're stoned. Couldn't hold a job. Then you have prion based brain damage from the jab. Have you had you mad cow shot and booster? |

It's ridiculous how bad the pot heads have gotten. Can't go anywhere without smelling that skunk weed smell anymore. Someone should invent a device to tell if someone is high on weed like a breathalyzer does for alcohol. That way employers can test employees when suspected of working under the influence and fire their asses and cops can charge the weed smoking drivers with D.U.I.s. The only affected people would be the weed smoking trash. I don't care what happens to trashy drug addicts or alcoholics for that matter. If you want to get high or drunk do it at home.

I see it all the time all over around here these days. It's pretty aggravating. The stink that comes off some of them is terrible and customer service has fallen to even lower levels. The same people that would throw a tizzy fit if you lit up a cigarette anywhere near them, won't say shit about someone smoking this crap, yet marijuana is 10x more carcinogenic than tobacco and reeks to high hell. If someone wants to get high in private where I don't have to smell it or be impacted by it more power to you. You do you. Bringing that shit to work, out in public or around people who don't smoke it is rude, obnoxious and highly inconsiderate.
 But then again, low lives don't give a shit if they violate someone else's space. It's only a problem if their space is violated. F-ing hypocrites.  |

Lol Other places too like the guy who fills my propane bottles down at the gas plant. Lol some more. But, I don't need that shit. I am reality.  Has anybody noticed this too? I can't believe that in Texas it's still illegal to possess with so many people doing it now. Thanks in advance. Go!  I was in Dallas last weekend for the NRA meeting. I found it interesting that the dope smell seemed to be concentrated around a certain demographic. Odd |

It’s not just pot.
In most states CBD products are legal. Smells just like pot and will get you just as high. And let’s not forget that probably 50% of young people are on various prescription drugs for “anxiety”. The grocery store where we shop, there would be a line of college aged kids at the pharmacy every morning. Reality be hard yo. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seems like everyone's high. Step outside and immediately get the stench of a million rotting skunks injected up your nose.  Just today, I watched some stoner almost hit three different pedestrians just trying to back out of a parking spot, completely unaware of anything around him. He rolled down his window and I bet you could smell him from the International Space Station. Perfectly benign with no health effects, even the ones with pot needles hanging from their arms. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I mean with de-criminalization or legalization going on in half the states I would venture to say more people are probably smoking yes. But honestly I think a lot of you guys have zero clue what someone stoned actually looks like. For example. I have a co-worker that is probably the biggest Karen I have ever met. I have had to explain to him 3 times now why snitching is fucked up and if our co-workers are actually getting high at lunch then A, someone from management will undoubtedly hit them with a random, but its not his job to be a junior G man and run and narc to our bosses about people he has absolutely zero proof of doing anything. And I keep trying to tell him if he ends up costing someone whose worked at the same job for 20 years their job over weed, well he's going to get fucked up. See he's one of those straight edge fags that has never smoked or drank and has absolutely zero clue what someone on drugs really looks like. The irony is all of the people he's name dropping, and talking shit behind their backs aren't even the ones doing drugs. I work in a factory so to say there's a fair number of people who are get stoned is an understatement. But I frankly don't blame them. If I had to stand in a hot ass building for 10 hours turning wrenches bolting shit together with no music or anything to distract you from the brutal repetition and piss poor pay that job has. I mean do you really care if the guy your paying 15 bucks an hour to stand in a tyvek suit running the primer station has a buzz? If that's how he has to survive his day then whatever, no skin off my ass. Seems like MYOB is a skill not taught anymore. Haha, he's gonna git ya sucka. |

I had to change BP meds when I was driving 120,000 lb frac pumps in the oil field about 20 years ago here on the Barnett Shale in North Central Texas. DOT regs on what you could have in your system were strict. Of course it was the job that gave me high blood pressure in the first place but what can you do?

I stopped at a McDonalds in Michigan a couple months back on the way back south to Indiana because the kids were hungry and I wanted something fast. Every single employee was out in the grass next to the parking lot smoking weed. We left immediately, and didn’t bother stopping anywhere else until we were back in Indiana. Damn Michiganders and their pot needles. Good thing you skedaddled, the pot smoke clouds are just getting thicker. Better not come back.
