True! You shouldn’t do it while pn the clock
TDG #1 FULLSUPPORT
Full Legalization of marijuana
In the United States Of America
How can they fire someone for using something LEGAL during their off time ? How is it even legal to do it?
As long as you don’t show up high to work or clearly unable to function because your under the influence, you should be good.
About time. Honestly
Imagine if they would test for coffein, nicoten or alcohol… This is madness
"radical idea"! Let’s not persecute workers for using a plant that increases their health.
That’s what’s up
As long as you do your job and don’t compromise safety, then smoke up 💯
It’s about time the stop testing it’s very racist
Thank god employers are starting to realize this
Lol times are changing so much i remember it was such a hassle smoking weed. Man. Im getting old and times are changing.
Cannabis has neuroprotective properties… I have a broken spine and nerve damage… Cannabis is a godsend… Instead of being prescribed cannabis or being allowed to grow my own medicine, I’m denied to work with a broken spine and a misdemeanor stuck in a state full of science denying leeches stealing my little left funds just to avoid being stuck in jail ( something id still have to pay for)… Nobody deserves to wear a badge swearing to serve and protect when the laws they uphold are unjust.
LEGALIZE IT FEDERALLY ALREADY END CANNABIS PROHIBITION NOW
Don’t buy from people who hate plants. If they went out of the way to harass us in the past than you are still looked down on and laughed at. Close these businesses. Buy and return if you cannot damage their buildings and machinery. Steal from companies that drug test, they stole people’s livelihood. It turns out they were wrong for drug testing.
SO IT’S OK NOW THAT IT IS BENEFICIAL TOI THE DOLLAR. ALL THOSE YOU LET GO THOUGH AND ALL OF THE PAIN YOU CREATED. NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
Good for them!
Just got a job last week and had to argue with the hr that weed and alcohol aren’t the same because they drug test for weed and you can use weed outside of work and it be in your system which is stupid
Does anyone have a source where it says an employer can’t deny u a job for a positive marijuana screening ? Pls commemt below
Can they do their job? Yes? Cool then no problem
I hope they can stop testing people for cannabis when applying for a job.
Should be able to smoke on break 😂
Double standards, inform yourself about marijuana induced schizophrenia. Its real
a use to drive for a living and i would rather be on the road with a million pot smokers then one drunk. and i know that anyone with a brain feels the same if they are on the roads for a living. the pot smoker even stoned stays in their lane with a tight grip on the wheel just barely doing the speed limit . the only time that changes is when they mess their turn or off ramp. then the bounce some in the seat and turn around the next chance they have. thats about it
Federal law should ban testing for THC for any job is considered safe especially in retail.
Smartest thing they could’ve done.
Its like being u/a because you drink or take cough medicine its everywhere now even with cbd it still have small traces of thc
If you don’t test it, they will come. a lot of plant’s in Bellevue Ohio have stopped using the Pot test. And they now have worker’s.
Lol people been smokin weed and working for years
I don’t smoke illegal weed. sorry about your luck fed.
Message to NBC news, The feds you speak for don’t have any power and neither do you.
HHC cart review Binoid bundle unboxing – YouTube
i was gonna apply but then i got high
NEW JERSEY JUMP ON IT..NOW!!!!
Federal legalization now!
Smart people
If folks can be grown ups about it it should be ok! I’m so sick and tired of the pill poppers so, maybe this is a good idea? If you get injured on the job and you are under any influence, you shouldn’t get paid.
Good for them !
Man this could be a huge change. She hit everything on the nail
Wish there was more people like this
Just take it off the federal list and be done with it. It doesn’t belong there and we ALL know it.
actually some people are more productive if they are stone doing a repetitive work.
I agree awesome I would work for this company.
Cannabis and coffee are worker rights
Illinois is still really bad. Let the employers that test for cannabis suffer. Its legal.
Let’s hope a junkie doesn’t get stuck in a machine that welds him to the transmission ….
It may have taken stoners over 100 years but we finally won *takes a victory bong rip*
odd they must not be giving must work to white males
Alright!
How much is an employer to care and like over what?
Wheres this at?
Now make plants shipyards and places like that not fire you for weed. You’ll have a lot happier employees if they could smoke off the clock.
