As long as we still random test employees and contractors for it and increase the frequency of testing, go for it. Don't want any pot heads blowing the place up. Just because they legalize it doesn't mean you can't get fired for using it.

I think you have probably just witnessed someone that is generally a violent person that was high.

Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, jazz musicians, and entertainers. Their satanic music is driven by marijuana, and marijuana smoking by white women makes them want to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and others. It is a drug that causes insanity, criminality, and death — the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.

And here's your troll...

... and here's the response:

-It is a gateway only in that it is illegal and forces one into the company of dealers. This is a strawman argument. Alcohol is a gateway. Cigarettes are a gateway.

- Science has proven that it does not kill brain cells, but does have a negative impact on short-term memory. Science has also proven that it does not cause lung cancer. In fact, it may have the opposite impact by slowing the growth of cancer cells.

- May lead to uproductivity if not used in moderation, like everything else. But there are plenty of known users who are very successful in a variety of walks of life.

- Causes violence? Against a bag of Doritos maybe. Alcohol does this in spades, yet the state sells it to you at the ABC store. When was the last time you heard about a guy so high on marijuana that he beat his wife and kids? Never.

-Obesity? It has no calories, unlike alcohol. However, there may be a correlation here. The struggle against the munchies is real.

Now the question is was it because they were stoned? or was it about a drug deal......I seriously doubt that someone who has been smoking weed gets violent because they are high.

but im no way claiming your wrong that the person got violent in that situation. I just think it is highly doubtful that weed caused the violence. Had to be something else.

If weed isn't addictive, why have Colorado pot growers hybridized their product to increase THC 300%? I'm neutral on legalization. Just can't stand being around stoners doing dumb shyt in public - which they ALWAYS end up doing.

Not what he's getting at. Plant's are dangerous environments where carelessness or intoxication could easily lead to explosive consequences, not that weed makes someone build bombs and kill civilians.

The only rational argument against legal weed that I've heard is the difficulty with which relative "highness" can be measured as opposed to breathalyzers for alcohol. It makes it harder to enforce prohibitions against driving, working, or operating heavy machinery high.

I once saw this guy get into a very impassioned argument about whether or not the terminator was a cyborg or android. Things got pretty heated.

Sounds like they are immature attention whores. Weed doesn't cause people to act stupid in public. Definitely not as bad as what booze does.
