i wonder if people who drink a lot are just as proud of being drunk all the time as some weed smokers are proud of being baked all the time.

One is a problem the other is a luxury.

“No I don’t own Balenciagas, but all my weed designer.”

People who drink a lot are going to constantly be dehydrated, impaired, and are wrecking their livers and rest of their body.

Heavy weed smokers will tell you they don’t even notice getting “high” any more and most do it for the flavor and to take the edge off. Like dude above me said the tolerance is much different.

The problem is people who never have smoke weed think all us smokers are hallucinating OR that we turn into different people when we’re high. Had an old roommate who never smoked would always be like, “are you high right now?” When she saw my eyes red. If I didn’t have red eyes I’d be acting no different than I normally do. Yet, she would shake her head and shake me for “being high again” when I would literally be acting completely the same.

If everyone smoked a little weed the world would be a better place.

like i said earlier, i think weed is way less harmful than alcohol. i’ve done tons of drugs and alcohol and would have been much better off if i had only smoked weed :lol:

i’m not complaining or teasing but it seems more prevalent amongst weed smokers to brag about being high (and enjoying life). just an observation.
 
My tolerance used to be stupid high, I’d always be blazing or shredding my pen.

I was laid off this winter (no drug tests) ate a fatty edible and went out to eat with my girl and didn’t tell her until the next day becasue I wanted to see if she could tell. She never knew... I still got it. :lol:

And yeah as someone who used to drink too much weed isn’t anything. I’d even blaze before hitting the gym. The only side effect is better sleep.
 
I don’t think laws are based to smokers or ‘users’ but to growers and sellers of the plant
To put the power of agriculture back into the hands of the people is a vast feat!

The issue is it's a double standard.

Deborah can have anxiety/depression, be prescribed klonipin, xanax and seroquel and treated as "normal" compared to Anthony who sometimes relaxes with a spliff on football Sunday. Who do you think is the more productive worker and who do you think tests positive during conventional screens?

It's political. No one's going to butt heads with the pharmaceutical industry by lumping their pill ingesting clientele with the MJ users.

Just checking back in from my response on page 2. I'm looking at it from an employer freedoms view... But you've convinced me. If they can't screen for that pharmaceutical crowd most of my argument goes out the window anyway.

But it isn't always as easy as if they are lazy just fire them. You have to deal with documentation of their deficiencies, possible EEO cases or FMLA protections, and maybe even union representation. That's why screening can help an employer save huge costs down the road.

As far as weed not making people lazy... Or the difference not being detectable... Case by case but I can point out real life people who live up to the stereotypes pretty easily... Just like any stereotype. Because other stereotypes negative impact me... Specifically the ones based on skin pigment. I'm going to reverse my stance on the issue. Thank you for that insight.

Live your best life. But do have some pride in your work ethic gentlemen (and ladies) because some of yall are some real bums and you make others look bad too.
 
benzo abuse is wayyyyyy worse than smoking weed heavily. opiates are right behind benzos.

the messed up thing is that they can screen for opiates at some workplaces and if you show your prescription, you’re all good but if you pop for weed, they can fire you.

it may seem like that now because with it being legalized the smokers are becoming more comfortable saying these things as before they felt like they needed to keep that part of their process secret.
I've heard people talk about drinking all day or bragging about how much drinking they did the night before

I’ve heard high people announce how high they are since high school. Just seems like a thing they do.
 
It's just a plant.
CBD weed is a scam and a result of dudes finding a loophole and cornering the market.

Just like when everyone decided that thc was the only important part and ppl focused on having high the content.

Some of the highest thc content weed is trash. Just marketing gimmicks.

I promise you they will find another compound I'm weed to exploit.

Just let ppl grow a damn plant and quit hyping everything up.

Once anyone tries bud they realize they've been lied to.
 
Uhh... THC is the active ingredient that makes you feel high. CBD is the part that has most of the medical effects. This is not a scam, it's science. Yes, THC % alone is not the ONLY thing you should be looking out when shopping, but it's usually a pretty good sign.

There's way more to it than that.
Go look up some reviews of people taking thc pills .

The industry today tries to oversimplify and explain stuff from a marketing stand point.

It's been illegal for too long. Banned for research for decades until recently.

Ohhh Cbd2 weed. Thc a weed. Cbd3
Weed.


Gimmicks.
 
We need that here asap. I work in a casino and granted it's on an Indian reservation so they can do whatever they want, but bruh, they won't even let us use CBD oil! :smh:
 
Soccer mom's want weed because everyone is doing it, but they don't want to get "stoned".

Uhh, I've tried THC pills... crown caps to be exact, and they are extremely potent. I was high af for well over 12 hours from 1 50mg pill. THCA is the type of THC found in concentrates, and it means it needs to be heated to a certain level before it has any affect, so eating something like live resin won't get you high, but vaporize ring will.

CBD was invented to get bible thumpers to shut up for a while and give in. Ain’t nobody getting buzzed on CBD

Once again, CBD isn't ment to get you high at all, it's for medicinal effects... for kids that suffer from pain but want relief without being high and unfunctional.

That my point. It’s the “oh I guess it’s ok” middle ground
 
Yet it was okay to give them strong opioids as the only legal alternative.

People we're just typing to help their kids without going to jail or be seen as terrible people for giving their kids "drugs".

CBD weed is a marketing ploy taking advantage of the leftover stigma of "weed".

Most of those parents never even met their children because the opioids had them like zombies.
