Stop resisting!
Almost two-thirds of Americans think it would be unacceptable for a company to fire an employee for off-the-clock marijuana use in states where using marijuana is legal, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll -- the same percentage that said it would be unacceptable to fire an employee for off-hours drinking.

According to the new poll, a majority of Americans -- 64 percent to 22 percent -- think that if marijuana were to be legalized in their state, it would be unacceptable for a company to fire an employee for smoking it during his or her free time.

Except, your employer can state that you were high while at work, and a drug test won't say you weren't. A breathalyzer, on the other hand, will show whether or not you're sober.

In other words, until drug tests are more sensitive, they'll be able to fire you if they want to.

In Florida we can be fired for any or no reason at any time.
 
I can't take full credit, it's a reference to doctor king and I don't think I'm the first to say it.
 
Even if every drug was legal, the way I get high still wouldn't be socially acceptable so fuck what 64% of people think.....

I wanna have sex with a higher percentage of females that I see in grocery stores than anywhere else, at least 64%....

The cops see the writing on the wall already, as soon as they legalize anything they're gonna switch over to fucking with people for driving under the influence of it...even though the only thing I can't drive completely wasted on is alcohol...
 
Currently tryin to sober up to get a different job.

It sucks because what is in a drug test says nothing about my character or work ethic. Everybody gets high.

And until 64% of america stands up for how they actually feel instead of being bullied by a government this will mean absolutely nothing.

word +1 and its coming, in fact already here.. all we have to do is belive, find the courage (that comes with belief) and act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. america unjustly demonized the blacks and homosexuals and severely degrade women, in doing so their struggles and hard won freedom and just treatment have left us a clear path.. first step is not believing all the bull shit they have fed us about our selves. <3:!<3
 
That is one thing that I love here, if you are good at what you do your employer doesn't really care what you do in your private time so long as it doesn't spill over into your professional life.
