That is the most idiotic post in this thread. Congrats!

For real, I know many construction guys who can't get through a day without drinking at lunch.

**TheSilverSurfer** · 01-07-2018, 05:23 PM

I didn't say anything about alcohol. Wouldn't want an alcoholic on site either.

Anybody that smokes weed that says there's no such thing as stoner mistakes is a liar. I blazed for most of my life. I am very familiar with stoner mistakes. You guys that smoke regularly can lie all you want about how it doesn't affect you, etc...

You do realize it is proven that alcohol damages brain cells and impairs cognitive thinking abilities.

I would much rather have/work with someone who burned last nite at 9:00 that somebody who had their last drink at 9:00.

Tell me about all the heavy construction sites you have worked on.

I think it might be you that needs to tell us about your experience...

Most of the alcoholics I've come across in the business are dry when they show up to work and are some of the best workers there are. The stoners are usually laborers who are young and lazy as fuck.

I don't really give a shit what anyone does after work, those are just my data points. And I have a lot of them. Alcohol and weed obviously have no place near a job site. Except in the trailer after shift.

No.

I do not agree with legalization of drugs of course, but there's no stopping it now; legalization of pot and increasingly more dangerous drugs is inevitable.

however, the people should not have to pay for the others that took them and then got addicted; they should only have to pay for those protecting them from addicts and dealers, I e law enforcement. I'm not naïve enough to think that the people wont end up paying for all those who get hooked on drugs as the drug downward spiral is just getting off the starting blocks, but it's wrong. the people who did not start taking drugs are not responsible for those who do.

I have stayed out of the weed thread because it would just be posts like this, but those doing pot or anything else should read the long term affects of what you're taking; they're not good.

**Mazderati** · 01-07-2018, 05:43 PM

Doing the pot.

**jackstraw** · 01-07-2018, 05:45 PM

Fuck this thread has the idiots posting.

Show your stats cougarboy. Your the typical Republican wanting to control everyone, but it's people like you that have caused the whole opiod crisis. Many addicts were created because of a fucking doctor and big pharma...but yeah, you shouldn't be responsible for helping those people.

People afraid of any drug shouldn't do them. Pretty simple. Free country, right?

**buttahflake** · 01-07-2018, 05:48 PM

I don't trust anyone who doesn't partake of the weed.

Not a call out. It is what it is with you. I see where you are coming from. Do you? You are only interested in yourself. Period. You feel no responsibility, as a citizen of the USA, to help fund the recovery of an addicted mother. Dooming a family. You will pay for incarceration and punishment. Gladly. Law and Order. Black and White.

You are naive if you don't think 70 percent of the workers on any given construction site smoke weed at some point during the day.

And non-stoners make plenty of stupid mistakes.

**jackstraw** · 01-07-2018, 06:44 PM

Truly, anyone that thinks marijuana should be illegal must feel that alcohol should be illegal as well. If you don't feel that way, then you're proving to us all that you're an ignorant fool. Or you work for Budweiser or big pharma...then you're just a selfish greedy pig.

Draconian thinking is why the justice system is not helping to improve the social ramifications of criminalizing drug use.
Treatment will not help everyone but it will not ruin their lives the way the criminal code does.
I still have a conservative view on making "hard" drugs legal but I believe decriminalization is a step toward progress.
What's the definition of madness? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results..
It's time for a new approach

For sure.

My general POV is that the government shouldn't be telling anyone what they can or cannot do with their own body. Want to shoot up speed? Go right ahead. Otoh, if I don't want someone that uses drive working for me that's my perogative as well.

Additionally the government shouldn't be making any money off of drugs and I don't want my kids thinking it's okay. That's why I favor a decriminalization model rather than a legalization model.

quoting someone without quotation marks and without attribution is worse than smoking MJ. Worse than heroin IMO. Even worse than grabbing someone by the pussy. You can quote me on that.

I won't hire a roofer that doesn't smoke weed. Drinkers suck.

Our roofers made a massive stoner mistake. It started raining one of the days they were here, so they put up a few 2x6 boards that weren't T&G just to close up a section of roof, intending to replace them. Needless to say they forgot. Of course I saw them during sign off inspection. They had to redo an entire section of roof because of it.

That's a fucking stoner mistake.
