Okay for doctors, airline pilots, bus drivers, taxi drivers, crane operators, cops, firemen? Just asking.

“People with chronic pain who took just a puff of marijuana three times a day got some mild pain relief and, with rare exceptions, did so without getting high, a Canadian study reports. (Yes, they inhaled.)”.

Yes.

If they're dealing with chronic pain and aren't using it when they're on duty, why not?

In critical situations, of course not for those professions. Although on race day it does provide intense, non-distracted focus on the task ahead of you.

Took a “scab” job in my youth while on strike with the USW. (I’m not a union member now, but I was twenty-something in the late seventies)

We were building a bank in Northern VA DC suburbs. Lunch time to these guys meant 30 minutes to smoke as much dope and drink as much beer as they could.

The crane operator sent me to his truck to get some tallboys. I said I don’t think I should be doing that! (Guys were riding the crane up and stepping off at floors off the crane ball and hook.)

Those ironworkers were some crazy mfers.

I was glad to get back to the shipyard.

It’s like any other med- I wouldn’t want a pilot on a muscle relaxant either.

Not while on duty. Like alcohol or some other prescription drugs.
