When workers at his Colorado business went to pot, Mark Brawner said it was enough for him to roll out of the Rockies and head for South Carolina.
Brawner, who ran Little Spider Creations out of an old Denver warehouse for years until this month, told KUSA-TV Thursday he moved because pot was hurting his company. He said employees started to come to work stoned after the state legalized the drug for recreational use in 2012.

Some nice looking stuff. I’m sure you would need decent trades people who show up reliably and do the work.
I used to do it all the time, it never hurt my job performance at all.

That’s another drug tested occupation like truckers that may find difficulty.

According to the article, “a ‘nasty’ local government regulator” also influenced Brawner’s decision to move the business to South Carolina. Such local government regulators are very common, even in some of the most remote and sparsely populated parts of CO. That includes some majority Republican counties (radical environmentalists, animal worshipers, all).
You work for the post office?
Do you have a reading comprehension issue? See the word MOST. I did not write ALL.
I know a whole lot about the subject and I can tell you that it is very true...
LOL
Oh so what percentage were you talking about? If you are going to make a blanket statement like that, I would like to know exactly how many you mean. 75%? 80%? Tell me.
Absolutely not true
“But then, what quality of worker does he think he will get for the wages warehouse workers make?”
I was just out of college working in a warehouse while looking for a real job. I did a good job. But yeah, some of the other guys, that would be warehouse guys the rest of their lives, they did a lot of slacking off. “Hey man - you got to slow down. We need to make this last all day.”
Agreed.
When I go out to my old hometown its like stepping back into the 80s because the friends I used to get high with are still there doing exactly the same things.
He is spot on.
In places with lots of drug testing, workers are more likely to abuse alcohol, Rx pills and synthetic pot (all far more impairing and toxic than real pot). I work in construction and know the drill.
Drug tests are also useless for anything other than pot (the only fat-soluble drug). You can do all the meth, blow, heroin and PCP you want and pass a drug test within 24 hours. But if you smoke a single joint 1 week ago, it may show up.
Drug testing is nothing but a scam to sell more booze and Rx pills to people who will choose to get shitfaced nomatter that.
Yes, while the "intoxication" effects may only last a few hours, the cognitive impairment of regular use lasts for days. Essentially your IQ drops considerably for several days afterward. It's not that he's "high" now...it's the lingering effect of reduced capacity that is at issue. There then becomes the attentiveness and motivational issues too, with regular consumption.
Smoking pot is not the same as having a drink. I can have a drink or two and not get drunk. You don't take a couple of tokes off a joint like it's a cigarette, you hold it down...the purpose IS to get high.
You did say "That's absolute bull..."
So I think the onus is on you to prove an "absolute".
