[QUOTE="KDM, post: 233531, member: 314"] My mind hasn't changed one bit. NO. Medical is suspect, but if done under medical supervision, OK. I look at it this way. Do I want my doctor, nurse, pharmacist, lawyer, child's bus driver, school teachers, tax man, banker, mechanic, etc., all the way to the guy cooking my burger being high on hooch or sober to do the tasks I need them to do?? I want them sober. Now you that are for it can say, "Just make workplace highs illegal" and it will all be rainbows and unicorns. No it won't. Making every business run tests for sobriety will not only drive up the costs for everything I want/need, but the rules will also not be followed anyway. I don't want anybody going to lunch and taking a few hits because they know the boss won't be doing a check anyway and then doing a task or service for me. We all know and see the lunch time "Beers" by folks of all positions and then they return to work. Which would you want?? Just like alcohol keeps people from doing what they should be doing, MJ will do the same thing. To me the potential down side doesn't outweigh the potential up side. [/QUOTE]
