Toke up and keep your job

[tigertim20]

i would say most regular users loose no cognitive function, motor-skills or ability to do complex /techincal shit. basically anything i can do "straight" i can do after a joint. the difference being that after a joint i'm going to do it quicker and enjoy it more, and if i do encounter problems i'm going to come up with solutions i otherwise might not have.

thats your opinion, got studies/facts to support it?

Id be willing to bet your previous employers would disagree if theyd had a chance to analyze it for themselves.
If you have had a drink or two, or a joint, you are in no position to be judging your own ability.

There were others - but they forgot.

Fuck it Dude, lets go bowling.

[Big Dave]

Yeah. Enough with the Nihilists.

i could ask the same of you (facts)
short answer, no. but i'm sure there's some statistics that i can interpret to suit my message.

i've smoked with my employers. i've smoked with my employees. as said, i've never seen any incidents that could be even remotely connected to cannabis use, much less any harm.

.....is this a Cheech and Chong moment...??

Since you're clearly incapable of participating in a mature discussion I'm not going to dignify that with a response. You should also learn to spell properly if you want to be taken seriously.

i ask you again what methods would you employ to determine how well or not someone "can handle it" and to what scale is it measured against........................throw some more abuse if it gives ya the jollies as i suspect you have no mature unbiased answer to this question anyway

[Big Dave]

It's a Lebowski moment.

Your homework is to obtain a copy of 'The Big Lebowski'. (I got mine off iTunes).
This is one of the all time greatest films ever.
The Dude abides.

Just to add another dimension: the term 'instant dismissal' does not refer to dismissal at the end of an event that warrants dismissal (like someone punching your best customer in the face). 'Instant' means dismissal with no notice at the end of a disciplinary process.

Finally, someone who speaks sense.

as judged by someone stoned.....yeah good one. Its interesting how stoners solve problems, theres all sorts of programs on Sky that show stoners solving problems in all sorts of manners.....some of it is quite fucken funny to watch......and at the time it all makes perfect sense to them

[Akzle]

as judged by someone stoned.....yeah good one.

it's nothing to do with stoned or not. this morning the only drugs i've imbibed is nicotine and coffee. (nice arabic coffee, a la arab uncle) that shit will get you tweaked.

as said. i know plenty of intlligent people you would write off as "stoners" - and i can guarantee i can find one to beat you at whatever your specialty is, except pissing and moaning, belittling other people for their lifesyle choices, or biggotry. i just don't associate with those types...

If it doesn't negatively affect their job performance, then there's no problem.

Only someone completely ignorant to the facts would say something as stupid as what you just did.

It cracks me up, non-smokers getting up on the high (excuse the pun) horse about how much better they are than smokers.

Are you 'better' than Sir Richard Branson, a regular smoker, who smokes with his 21yr old son, who has openly said there is nothing wrong with smoking marijuana and would sell it if it was legal?

How about Rick Steves, international travel writer, author of 27 travel books, has his own TV and radio show and is a very outspoken campaigner of marijuana and a member of NORML?

What about Michael Phelps?

Stephen King? Ted Turner?

Really the list goes on and on.

Do some research before making yourself look even more ignorant.

I could out smoke the smokeist smokers with the best of ya. In fact my old song went something like,
Roll roll roll a joint
Gently twist the ends
Light it up and take a toke
And pass it to your friends

And I was fuckin awesome at doing stuff.....I could do your stuff better than you could, in fact I was the best at doing stuff when I got really toasted.
Funny thing though.....I wouldnt be where I am, and I am somewhere worth while, until I woke up and gave up. And all that stuff that I was doing really awesome, I wasnt doing so well I found out, and some stuff I struggled with, ended up being the building blocks for a very successful career.
Then, when I watched my own son go through cannibis induced psychosis 15 years later and wrestle with him in his desperation as he pulled a loaded shot gun on his family (me).....it finally really sunk in. I had police around, I had to sell up my hunting firearms, he lost his gun licence and his much loved hobby, cannibis turned a healthy well adjusted kid into a depressed and not so useful member of society. He now wants to get back on track and cant due to convictions. He has lost neary 10 years of his life and possibly a good future. In his group of friends that came through the same school together, about 50% have ended up like him. Unemployed and desperate.

You may choose to call me ignorant, but I think I may actually know more than you do about it...... I have been full circle.

I never said I was better than anyone, I just said they not be as good as they think they are.....

And as for research, Ive done more in depth research than you think, from both sides. See my last post.

The way you come across is that you seem to have a superiority complex over 'stoners'. I'm sure Richard Branson would love to hear how much better you think he could be or do if he didn't smoke.

Your research? I read your post. It seems to be based on your own personal experiences. That to me is not research, that's experience. Research famous and successful smokers, I'm sure you'll be quite surprised. I know heavy smokers who hold down good jobs, who own businesses, who employ people. That's my experience. I also know smokers who do fuck all. I also know non smokers who are successful, and those that amount to very little.

My point is you can not solely lay the blame at the feet of the 'drug'. It lies with the person involved. Unfortunately marijuana does attract some less desirable members of society. Mind you, so does motorcycling.
