It was a joke b/c that line is always thrown out there. "I know several successful people that smoke weed."
I also disagree with previous comments that a lot of us drink for the taste, not for the buzz.
When was the last time you saw non-alcoholic beer in anybody's refrigerator? Around here you'd better have a damned good excuse for keeping that stuff around.

so rather than believe that a lot of smokers are indeed very productive and successful, people would rather just call it a cliche "line"?

I know, I'm just asking about that line of thinking really. people seem to be quick to call that a cliche line instead of actually considering that multiple people know separate individuals who smoke weed and are also successful and productive.

That you think anyone who smokes pot is automatically a non-productive worker is laughable.
Not once anywhere on here did I say a pot smoker could not be productive. All I have put up here is the fact you can and will be terminated by most companies for testing positive. The responses I have received tell me there are lots of people that would rather use pot than keep a 6 figure job. I have no issue with that- its your choice.

Maybe MAYBE in LA
Cant see it happening in tx though. Govt makes too much money on the black market.

There are plenty of people I know that smoke pot and have a 6 figure job. If you're referring to a business owner firing a valued employee for marijuana use only, then I would say that business owner is an idiot.

Funny you mention the Bible Belt because that is one book that does advocate weed.

Asheville would if the rest of the damn state got with it!

you are painting with the broadest brush imaginable, and you're completely wrong.

Sooner than that. It will be on the Florida ballot this November and it has A LOT of support here.
