“I’m sad it happened but I got the title: I’m No. 1. I regret nothing.”

What a pothead!

[magellan]

Sounds like his employer weeded him out.

All wee wee’d up

[GeronL]

go on the doll

ack.. somehow I bet it is accurate

“If you’re stupid enough to not beat a drug test, you definitely should not be smoking.”

They test for the masking drugs now, you won’t beat that.

If a test comes back iffy they will do a hair follicle test, nobody can beat that one.

[GeronL]

That depends on the policies of his employer and the contract the employee signed and agreed to

[VerySadAmerican]

He’s a security guard. I don’t think you have to be super smart to be one. Nothing wrong with honest work, though.

[Veggie Todd]

I nominate him for the Spicoli Award!

“I’m staying positive,” Boyer said.

At least the guy likes a good pun!

[Lil Flower]

He’s #1 alright

[Horkster]

Perform stupid tricks, earn stupid prizes.

[Lil Flower]

What loss of privacy?

[Hugin]

If you were selling dope, would you want your security to be high?

You assume that someone who smokes in his off hours will show up to work stoned. Just because someone has a few drinks after work doesn't mean they go to their job drunk.

My guess is if he does go into the legal weed business he'll make a whole lot more than he did as a security guard.

“I’m staying positive,” Boyer said.

Oh, I’ll bet you are, my friend.

[Lil Flower]

>> Tobacco may be different,because it often leads to expensive health issues.<<

Yeah cause no one ever gets cirrhosis of the liver, or pancreatitis, or alcohol-induced dementia.....

[RichInOC]

He’s got an uncontrollable urge.

[Hugin]

If a test comes back iffy they will do a hair follicle test, nobody can beat that one.

I read about the murder case of Vegas casino mogul Ted Binion. At one point he was ordered to report for a hair follicle test. He had his girlfriend (who later killed him) shave every hair off his body, then went.

But people have said pot smokers are hardworking types yet here is this guy ok with being fired for being a pot smoker. Where’s the work ethic???

[nascarnation]

Let’s face it he’s probably a major slacker.
But now he can join the Entitlement Army and maybe find the Julia of his dreams.

[RginTN]

He looks like the type who couldn’t run a pot business cause he would be inhaling too much of the product, distracted by the high to be profitable.
