marijuana is a lot safer for you and those around you than alcohol. read the facts, they're all out there, so i'm not going to touch base on them here because i frankly don't have enough time. i say this because i hate hearing the term pothead, drug abuser, or drugged out because marijuana is a plant and people are finally seeing that it's much more than a "drug." with that said, i believe marijuana should be legalized and sold publicly and taxed just like alcohol, it should be ranked just like cigarettes at age 18 or like alcohol at age 21, it should be that persons discretion to use it or not. the goverment would make a lot of money of taxes and help pull us out of this giant deficit. i watched a show about the marijuana industry just the other day and one of their shops grossed $21 million last year, just think if it was legal and more people were buying from these dispenceries. that was a lot for me to bring up just to say that i do believe that marijuana is okay for society to accept now days just as alcohol is accepted. i do believe, however, that neither have any place in the workplace. if i feel as if i'm even hungover and go to work i can get in huge trouble and i just work in the cable business. if i even pee dirty, no questions asked i'm fired. i know of people who are alcoholics or "potheads" and still impaired when they go to work and they're working at a business in the area that builds airplanes. they're talked to but that's as far as it goes. which one of us do you believe works at a union? from my experience, unions do more bad than good. what's the point of having them around anymore? there's laws in affect that protect all workers, so why the need? i understand their role in our past and they have done an excellent job at securing rights for workers and i'm very appreciative of that. but in today's society, there's really no need. *sigh*... rant over lol. i know you guys are just going to go off on me so lets here it. these are my views and like everybody else am entitled to believe what i want to believe. i always love to hear what other have to say though
