How many people die each year from marijuana?
Statistically, death directly from marijuana overdose is extremely rare. The CDC reports that between 1999 and 2007, there were 26 deaths with marijuana as an underlying cause, in the United States.

I understand if you are not able to make an argument. Why respond at all if you can't? Why insult and act like a child?

Employees who think they are above following simple rules will also steal from you,lie,and cheat. If they can't be a team member,then they will have to find another team. Companies don't have the time to waste being baby sitters to overgrown kiddies who can't mind.

This debate is about making pot legal not what happens at the workplace. Start a new thread. If they don't drug test our Government like our senators and congressmen, do they have the right to test anyone without reason?

Yes they do!. If a workplace rule exists that the business is a drug free workzone, random testing is normal. If you can't handle that, go elsewhere. A company with clean employees don't need a stoner on the premises endangering the health and welfare of other associates. You may think the move is going to make MJ legal anytime or anywhere but a state level vote cannot force a company to accept dopers and stoners on the premises unless the state wants to get into the business insurance coverage.

Hey Riccardo La Fagaroni. Does Vacaville Prison know you're out and using again? Go to Dope Fiends Anon. They can help.

Ricc: A normal person (you are excluded) doesn't suck the smoke from burning sugar deep into their lungs and hold it there until they turn blue in the face. Smoking pot is bad for you.

I know they have the right, my question was should they have the right? Like I said before, if a stoner gets stoned the night before vs a drinker, who is more alert the next morning? A company suffers greater loss of health insurance and danger from a sugar addict. I'm not advocating people high at the workplace. But you have a lot of confusion about the dangers of drugs and which one is worse.

No one mentioned smoking sugar, I suppose you do. Consuming sugar is much more dangerous then pot.

[Tim Truhart]

Should be "than" not "then." See what dope does to you.

The levels of alcohol can be tested by a BAT. MJ is tested positive/negative. YOU know the rules,YOU break the rules,YOU get fired. YOU have a problem with that? If YOU can't handle that,then YOU shouldn't be there in the first place. Oh yeah, did I mention this was about YOU?

You seem to be lost in the argument, this is about making pot legal, a less dangerous drug then booze. Not how you should be tested in a forklift job. Believe me, I'm not in that kind of job, try to keep up. Sorry you are stuck in that mindset of a job.

Matter of fact your wrong again with an average like that your going to have to come up with another line of Bull.

You can't have a double standard set of rules. If a company is a zero tolerance workplace,then the office workers,production,warehouse,a nd drivers go by the same rules........ZERO.

Sorry, I think you are confused, I really didn't want to talk about people on drugs at work. This is about making pot legal. Some things are legal but not legal as in booze, you can't drive and be drunk or work being drunk. If pot is legal, you would have a choice to use it or not use it just like booze or like eating the poisons from the grocery stores. We have a choice to eat the crap at the store, as you can see from any workplace, people are fat from it, which costs the country and companies more money from being sick, from major healthcare costs.
