So folks in shitty states will slowly become sicker than those on the coast etc until they move... Creating different classes of citizens
time to fully legalize , this world is so primitive even still, crazy

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. The main reason a job will fire you for MJ is over insurance companies forcing the employer to test for it. Since MJ is currently a Sched 1 'menace', insurance companies can deny claims and raise rates if emps get caught toking the Devil's Weed. My interpretation of something like this would probably remove that issue. If it ain't prohibited at the fed level anymore, then it's no longer considered 'dangerous' for most intents and purposes. I wouldn't think that states could bust you just for having it anymore, but they could prevent the sale of, etc. Perhaps it would be similar to how alcohol is regulated at the state level which produces some strange rules and dry counties here and there. Of course, i'm just pulling that out of my ass right now, so we'll have to see if this gets any traction and what the deal really is. :popcorn:

Every once in awhile, when work slows down I will get loaded before work
It is easy to see why most companies if not all, want their employees lucid while they are paying them
Yesterday I pulled a wake and bake & managed to lose my phone--I wound up finding it after wasting an
hour driving to the nearest AT+T to get a new sim card for my spare phone & driving back to work
Back when I spent 12 years as a cook I went to work stoned most of the time and never had a problem,
I always felt I outworked the majority of the kitchen crew at most of the places I worked, stoned or sober

Sadly when it comes to good ideas, there's always a truck full of idiots ready to screw things up for the rest of us. Take for example NC'S House Bill 2... which the bible thumpers adore. Well, that is till they couldn't go to concerts, NBA games, and every other event that cancelled over it. Lost the state a low ball estimate of 600 million bucks. All the sane people want it gone, as there's future projects threatening to pull out on the state over it... but there's a contingent of idiots who seem to think pedophiles are lurking around every corner, just waiting to put on a dress and rape their daughters. (You can't blame them, the idiots who backed that shit used that as the example to get it voted in... and politicians NEVER lie)
The long and short of it is that there are people out there who've never smoked a joint, and believe pot drives black men to rape white women, and make white men gay and/or listen to jazz. You can't fix stupid overnight, and decades of D.A.R.E. and DEA ads have programmed the weaker minded folks into believing ONE JOINT will lead to heroine and meth.
