Marijuana use in these times
01/28/2014 | 1raider1

Considering the way things are heading, should we now ask every person with whom we conduct business (especially medical professionals) if they use marijuana?

I can tell you definitively that the deleterious effects of marijuana on cognitive functionality lasts for several days.

Nonsense.

 

 

Nonsense indeed! It can last for several weeks.

Of course. Cigarette smoking is dangerous. But smoking the ganga?

That must be OK.

I think the nicotine thing has more to do with insurance premiums than anything else.

Oh, come on with 'use'. The verb is 'smoke'.

Do people 'use' alcohol? No, they 'drink' it.

I haven’t indulged in cannabis use in almost 30 years, but if it were suddenly legal in Texas, or if I were to find myself in Colorado or Washington for some reason, I might be tempted to purchase and eat a brownie. Providing, of course that I were assured of not needing to be a responsible adult for the ensuing 12 to 24 hours.

No.

What makes you think he would do that?

Does my surgeon operate while drunk?

Do you ask everyone you do business with if they are drunk?

You should put the refer down man, you aren’t making a whole Hell of a lot of sense these days.

Since you are being finicky about the word “use,” both cannabis and alcohol are used in cooking. The latter is used for flavoring and loses its intoxicating effects via evaporation during the heating process.

Do you EVER question the personal habits of people you do business with? How will you know their response is accurate, even if you get one? Will you be offended if they then ask the same questions & perhaps other, more prying questions?

If you can inquire about drug usage to determine if the other person is fit to do business with, then they can just as legitimately inquire into your fidelity in your marriage, for someone who will cheat on a spouse will cheat on everyone. Same for religion. Might ask well answer all your misguided prejudices in one sitting.

The only practical, non-offensive way to deal with people is to look them in the eye & talk to them. If they sound/act like an intoxicated fool, then go somewhere else.

The reason this is all so moronic is the incredible hypocrisy & shear ignorance about a recreational drug so much safer than the recreational drug alcohol.

No, are you?

Also, you didn’t answer my question, so I can only assume that you are either afraid to or can’t.

Do you ask everyone you do business with if they are drunk?

Don’t hide behind a trendy internet expression.

Answer it.

It is chilish to think such a professional would answer you to the affirmative.

Look, In my original post, I merely asked a question. I didn’t call anybody a name or anything. If you don’t think my question should be asked to people with whom we conduct business all you had to say was no.
