Another huge problem is the required drug testing. It’s not that the companies don’t want to hire a recreational user. It’s that they don’t want to assume liability for any accident caused by an employee that might pee hot.

And yet the Libertarians among us keep trying to convince the populace that we need to legalize all drugs. They told us that if we legalized pot, it would destroy the black market that drives the cartels and the associated violence. Here in Colorado, pot was legalized and rather than make them obsolete, the cartels swept into the state to take advantage of the lax legal environment. It only made the problem much worse. That change also drew the hordes of druggies that now occupy the tent cities that are on every corner.

I despise Libertarians even more than I despise leftist democrats, because they are the enemy within. All they really are is “progressives” who don’t want the government taking their drug money.

As big a problem as work place injuries is absenteeism.

Drug users call come in late, call in sick and simply don’t show up at a much higher rate than those that don’t use drugs.

Today with skilled labor in short supply having an employee that does not show up is a major problem.

Do you fire the employee of suffer in silence as you shuffle other employees fill the gap and force others overtime on others?
