Going to work high

Nickatina said:
Plus I know plenty of people who are retarded when they don't smoke. Sounds dumb, I know, but true.
Yeah...sober-trippin' kinda sucks...
 
Ive been up 7 days (no exaggeration) straight and worked everyday; and do it once a month when i get my Adderall script...... than there have been other numerous psychoactive substances I've been on at work(with the exception of LSD, Ambian, PCP)


its something I know personally I dont want to be doing; I mean I work in a fucking supermarket deli, I have to DEAL with people ALL DAY.... my "use" probably doesn't doesn't help me there, w/ the exception of my Kpin/Xan. script's, when I ACTUALLY do manage to hold onto them for myself and no one else and make them last....

But I got pretty lucky with my job, she know's it ALL... she tells me its so obvious...

But I do a GOOD job at work, never argue.I do what I'm told I need to do and do it, & do what I'm not told to do but I know needs to be done anyways.

I guess my primary choice of stimulants is probably a factor

Please explain how it is irresponsible and immature. I go to work high all the time, I am a smart person, and I do all my responsibilites. I don't act like a retard or anything, just everything seems more amusing in my mind, and makes me want to eat more on my breaks. I work in the food industry, and I'm pretty aware of food safe regulations. In fact, I'm going to go get high now, then it's off to work!
Why would I have to explain it? Intoxication implies impairment. If you're impaired, you shouldn't be working. It's immature, because anyone who is serious about what they do for a living wouldn't do it.

There's a time and place for drugs, and the workplace isn't it.

You ever think some people might be MORE productive when high?

Especially on amphetamines and certain opiates. I know I was.
I'm talking about intoxication. I guess I should have been clearer in my original post. I have no problems with people who take stims for ADD, or people who take opiates for pain working. As long as they're not impaired, it's fine.
 
Oh, well then ... working while intoxicated is a different story. If you are getting bent at work, that is wrong. If that's the case get high on your own dime, not your bosses.

But, recreational doses of adderall or opiates, when not prescribed, I don't see a problem with, as long as you are the type of person who enjoys to work on them.
 
I've been at work extremely fucked up on Valiums and Morphine one night. It was crazy, I was getting pissed easily but still making out with the girls that work there and getting head out back.

But now that I am a manager, I am a lot smarter. I might eat a few pain pills or smoke half a joint before I go in, but I don't get straight fucked up at work.
 
I got fired from a pharmacy I used to work at because I started nodding (standing up at the time) while my boss was talking to me.
Apparently he didn't appreciate that.
 
I prefer to save inebriation for recreation.
However, being a graduate student, I have to admit that occasional stimulant use has inspired a bit of my reading and writing.

ebola
 
Going to work high? Not really a good idea, especially for an adult/professional with family....

that being said, I have taken a half pill of decent x before at work...working in retail, it can actually seem to help, and man I bust ass at 100mph....:)

But I normally won't, and when I do, it's only when we are in a medium sales season...and I never have any ON me...just IN me.
 
I've gone to work fucked up on vicodin, coke, all sorts of benzos, adderall, and booze. Not all at the same time of course. But I just can't go to work after smoking weed. I used to all the time. Now it just makes me anxious and I'll constantly worry if they can tell if I'm high. I'm just not myself.

I'll preface this by saying I didn't read through the thread...


IMO, going to work under the influence, regardless of what you will be doing, is irresponsible and immature.

I agree completely.

It's not the whole impaired part at all either.


It's just such a disrespectful thing to do. A man extends you his hand and gives you a job, and then you could potentially cause a loss of income because you turn off customers, you could make co-workers uncomfortable, you could possibly invite legal repercussions, civil actions, and endangerment cases. I mean the man trusts you with his livelihood, and you put it to risk. The least you could do is be sober and perform to the best of your ability. You may do your job fine, but you aren't doing your absolute best when high.

If it's your own business though, or you have the approval of the owner, go ahead.

But hey that's just my opinion, don't let me rain on your parade. I mean I'm just another druggie on the net, trying to preach morality to druggies is a whole slew of bs in itself (although I would never go to work high). After all, these are all great stories from your old days of being a dumb kid right ;)

I mean does anyone agree or what? I mean I'm a hypocrit right, I'm a capitalist but I support anti-capitalist groups in South America with drug money...

I dunno, it just seems fucked up to do drugs while someone is doing the best thing anyone could do for you - give you a job. It takes alot of money and balls to start up a business, it really pisses me off when people try to force business and tell them what they 'owe' to people like health insurance, ridiculous taxes, medical leave mandates, et cetera.

Every time i've gotten high at work i've been EXTREMELY uncomfortable dealing with customers co-workers or my boss.

Just deal with it sober. You dont want to get called out stoned... my manager called me out a couple of times since my eyes look recessed into their sockets when i've smoked.
 
My best man used to work at a university food service job, making sandwiches and bull shit. They'd take a 15 minute break, smoke a j and go back to work.

I can't imagine doing that. I can barely handle making minute rice when stoned, how the fuck would I manage that?
 
LOL... I went to work on heroin the other day. I did too much too fast so I ended up puking in the toilet a few times, and nodding! Actually took "naps" every twenty minutes or so, in the back room. Had to get lots of coffee. Luckily my hungover co-worker believed that I had a stomach virus, and we had almost no customers that day ::whew:: I don't think I'll do that again... I'm used to having a better work ethic.
 
Great post, TheodoreRoosevelt. I agree with most of your points. Fact is, no one owes you or I a job. My boss is kind enough to offer me a win-win deal -- she'll give me a livelihood, if I'll align all my efforts toward the collective goals of her institution for 40 hours every week. If I'm more of a liability to her and her institution's stated goals than I could be, I'm not keeping my part of the deal. In this case, she's perfectly justified in giving me the boot and finding someone who isn't such a liability.

I have no problem with THERAPEUTIC psychoactive drug use on the job, which nearly always entails sub-recreational doses and effects, and some justified medical reasoning behind the use, i.e. alleviating some health condition which would be more of a liability to my employer than the effects of the alleviator drug.

But anyone who needs to be BUZZED, i.e. high on a recreational dose of something, in order to perform on or tolerate their job, needs to ask themselves whether they're really cut out for that kind of work.

Plus, I feel it bears repeating: why waste a perfectly good high on the drudgery of work? Why not save it for when you're free to give the substance and its effects free rein?

This is where I disagree. See, if you're self-employed, it's not that you have no boss. It's that you're constantly looking for new bosses. Your clients ARE your employers. The same concept of a deal still holds. A client is willing to contribute to my livelihood, in exchange for my help with something I'm more willing and/or able to do than he is. If I'm keeping my part of the deal as the paying client in this case, I deserve and demand the same care and attention devoted to the task as I'd give if I were doing it for myself. Why should I pay someone who's fucked up to perform a service for me that has a higher chance of being quality work when it's done sober? Even if the person I hire does the job to my satisfaction, there's still a real risk that that won't be the case the next time I hire them, which isn't nearly as big a risk with someone who always works clearheaded.
 
I have not worked all that much, but of my few jobs I've certainly gone in on a few substances.

Best- Something speedy. ANything, please.

Worst- Alcohol. Unless it is a suuper short shift, you will eventually get sober which is the worst feeling ever.
 
I just think the principle of going to work high is wrong, you go there to work then you play at home. The exception here is if your addicted to opiates but even then IMHO I dont think you should be getting high, just keeping off withdrawls. Ive still done it before though done weed, speed, MDMA and coke at school, I think I might have even done DXM but I wouldnt do any drugs at work unless my boss was getting on the drugs too which I doubt will ever happen.
 
At my old job I used to be high on dope everyday. But it wasn't for the hell o-f getting high it was to get right so I could work and not have any withdrawals. But drugs go hand in hand with the iron working and steel fabrication business. A majority of people I worked with were either coked up, high on weed, or fucking drunk as shit. Back in the day I remember there would be a welding lens with lines cut on it in the bathroom.
 
I've done it before but lately I've decided not to since I'm not working alone anymore usually...nodding out at the computer with a cooworker right there gets sorta suspicious after awhile
 
I must say that i love smoking and going to work , I puffed a j this morning and now my desk is all organized , i feel i can talk to customers easier and well it just seems like i could do this more often. I dont not condone it at all because everybody is different, but for me i can get high and go to work with no problem.

Well from a personal standpoint I totally agree. I was just talking from a moral standpoint. The basis of my argument is that you are essentially fucking someone over, or putting them at risk, by your actions which are not approved, while they do something so good for you.

If you want to go to your own business high as balls and lose customers, I don't care. That means when shit hits the fan, the only one responsible for you being high is yourself.

Call me "libertarian" aka republican/conservative. They are exactly the same, even though the spineless libertarians out there say otherwise. But anyways...

I have no problem with THERAPEUTIC psychoactive drug use on the

Of course Of course. Even hangovers and whatnot I don't find a big deal with.

Fact is, no one owes you or I a job.

Speak for yourself, buddy I run this shit everyone owes me a job :D

Kidding. Sorta.
