Hard times even affect the "high times" at Wall Street...
Rich man's high is losing turf to the 'evil' weed.

They’ll live longer just smoking pot.

I think they need to lose themselves in another world, what with the constant attacks against them by the White House and press, who blame them for everything.

As I have always said, "Coke leads to marijuana abuse".
Coke is a gateway drug.

the finance industry is pretty clean, with only a 2% rate of drug test failure 2 percent? 2 lousey percent?
Even if you think drug tests miss most users, that would be what...6 or 8 percent max? No matter how you work the numbers, at least 90% of people don't use drugs.
Just as gay activists have been overstating the percentage of people that are gay for decades, the drug culture has made it seem as though drug use was much more common in society than it actually is.

Theyll live longer just smoking pot. True, but they'll miss a lot of trades and we won't get those good scenes of them freaking out when the market goes against them.
To: Opinionated Blowhard
Apparently even the non-drug users suck at their jobs.

This is because pot has gotten a lot stronger than it was back in the hippie days. The stuff they sell now has way more “active ingredient” than the Woodstock generation was used to ingesting.

Wonder what the pee test would be if we put Congress through it. Today.

Well, at this point the economy is out of their hands. we never should have devolved into an economy that is sustained soley through speculation and financing.

This explains exactly who is still long in this train wreck economy. And why
Spicoli the trader.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

That’s because drug users work in occupations that don’t drug test. Show me construction, lawncare, or fast food workers that DONT use drugs.

That not the Street dropping acid, that’s the Whit Hut doing acid.
