I'll never understand addiction to weed and alcohol. Both are overrated as hell.
What isn’t overrated, as far as you’re concerned.

Some people definitely are very addicted to it, however it’s pretty easy to quit compared to most additions because there is no real physical addiction
I was smoking about an ounce a week and dropped it cold turkey to get a job. No issues whatsoever.

Only issues I've had when quitting is sleeping. That first week or so is a lot of tossing and turning.

I know some one who's making $16 n hour, doing a delivery job. I talked to him and my boss about getting him over to the place i work, different position, but he'd be delivering product still, but at a $15-18K raise, plus way better health benefits, and company benefits.
It was just about to be finalized, and he told me that it's a no go, because he heard we do random drug checks, and he's going to stay where he's at.
if hes making 16/hr and you are offering him an 18k salary you are offering him a paycut. maybe hes too young to understand benefits values, or maybe is a headhunter fine with killing what he eats for now, it is more than your offered salary. at least until ready to answer a bigger call with bigger rewards.

To be honest if I'm grinding out a delivery job for 16 bucks an hour weed is doing more for my quality of life than another thirteen hundred bucks a month ever would. That's just me though, with my kids grown and out of the house. I'd have took the money 15 years ago when I had other people to take care of.

Wife's younger brother passed on college so he could smoke pot and do odd jobs. When he was 31 he realized how badly he had screwed up his life, he put a bullet through his head.

Funny thing about addiction and how it impacts people differently. I had no problems when I quit smoking. Some cravings the first day or two, but nothing really after that. I've quit weed a few different times, and it really messes up my sleep for a week or two.

This could have been avoided if y’all would have told him lots of people smoke pot in college.

These are the same people that sit home collecting unemployment and not paying their rent.

There are a lot of drug addicts on the OT. Holy shite at some you fiends.

Many times it is not the companies decision, depending on the nature of your business it could be a requirment of your insurance carriers, a state federal/regulatory body whose licensing you require, or as was my case, required by most of the customers just to gain acces to their facility to perform services..

Yeah, that was a secret. He went from an A student in HS to a GED. The summer before his HS senior year he and his buddy started getting high, he went downhill until he killed himself. His buddy rear-ended a parked truck on Magazine St. and died there.

If he couldn't keep a consistent job and then died by suicide he had larger issues than pot.
People's minds would be blown if they actually knew the number of professionals in high-paying jobs (with good insurance) that smoke pot.

This is the mindset of a poor.
He would rather make only ~$33k/yr and smoke pot than increase his income by ~50% (which would then allow him more opportunities).

Nicotine? Heroin? Alcohol? As someone who is a doc this is a pretty silly take.
