Joint decision

[robomont]

even if he was not high he would be criminaly neglagent.maybe the guy was just stupid and shouldnt have been allowed on it.i have met people like that.

Yes, Operating heavy equipment is a no/no. Drunk, high or drugs you should be responsible for your actions. There will be rules coming out just like booze has.

In Portugal, in the same way there's a limit for the amount of alcohol in the blood, there's a limit for drugs.

I know I don't want a surgeon working on me that is high as a kite but if I go to a rock concert and the band is puffed up it might make it better.

My younger sister was manager of several bands and she never met a musician that was better when on drugs, they may be worse or as good as without drugs.

Next time I see Da Weasel, Boss AC or Sam the Kid I'll have to ask them what they do prior to going on stage.

Indeed. She must not have ever worked with Jimi Hendrix, or Janus, or the "Dead",  the "Airplane"...this list goes on for a long while. One of the most successful Rock bands of all time used to be serious "druggies", they obviously changed a bit...they are still alive. Though not all of their drug habits have changed all that much...

Then there are the people I work with, at least as far as technology goes. My business partner was once my dealer, he grew, and it was better than the "commercial" growers I knew at the time. That was 20 years ago, today he pays for my services in part with weed. He is still a smoker but not grower. Course now he has to go out and meet with prospective clients, understand their needs and translate that into a web application, and help define the software needs for the app. Then I smoke the paycheck he gave me and deliver his software. We have a very major global insurance broker that is our client, and just added another some lesser insurance Co. to our list.

So, I gotta say; some people can smoke the stuff, and others should use it only for partying. It is entirely on the individual. By the way; my software degrades when I NOT high.

Oh come on man!

Like any good musician the "talk to Jack by the Northern Lights" 
(drink whiskey and smoke dank bud)

Anthra, are you looking for employees?

I will say that for myself, I generally cannot work as efficiently when stoned as when not stoned.
I won't go near an aeroplane, or a customer when I am high, it's not fair to me or them.

But there ARE some situations where my overall performance is enhanced, even taking into account the well known effects of weed, because of the nature of the experience. I generally prefer work that pays enough for me to be able to chill out in the evening, rather than, lolling about off my box all day, but when such work is not available, then I'd rather be high and thinking than empty headed and being programmed by the TV.

I had a salutary lesson about work and being stoned when I was eighteen, when I was learning about the effects of pot, I decided for some ungodly reason that it would be a good idea to eat some on my lunchbreak. (I was working as a machinist on a press) The after noon started out happy and jolly, but as the intensity of the experience grew so did my fear of discovery.

I resolved to "keep my head down and just work".

As it happened by the end of the afternoon I had achieved two very unusual things.

1. I had made a staggering amount of product, for me, several days worth of normal output, IN ONE AFTERNOON!!

2. I'd made em all wrong, and my employer gave me such a bollocking... :c)

For those of you in the UK (who I recall reading something about earlier on in this thread...)

You do know its legal to buy seed's for said plant in the UK? Cultivation is NOT LEGAL though.  Make of that what you will!

Search out the legallity of purchasing seeds from the UK

[dreb13]

How about the guy who was high drunk on a forklift and dropped a huge crate killing a husband and wife at a Las Vegas convention?  Yeah he didn't die, but his lack of concentration killed innocent non smokers non drinkers

Is the answer bring back prohibition?? 

[Sinny]

What a stimulating conversation -

I can relate to Fruity's closing story aha 

[Elvis Hendrix]

Lush,
I remember a mate of mine was drumming on a cheesy cruise ship.
I think it was probably a great laugh on those boats.
Anyway him and his mate had just scored some resin.
They had a quarter each from one of the cooks or whatever.
They had just got back to the cabin when the ships security started bang on the door shouting to open up etc.

My mate and his cohort shat themselves and decided to neck the evidence.
The next thing he new it was the following evening and the door was being broken in.
Apparently  the pair of them were found  hiding under the table!

True stupid is as stupid does... but many Teamsters smoke it then mount up... the convention setup floor is a hazard zone

My point was that just because pot supporters say no fatalities related to the drug is a lie

Pretty sure in the next few years it will be at least decriminalized in most states... and once that happens you will see a hoard of people getting high before things settle into a routine

But one thing I will say, from meeting people that are smokers of the wacky tabacky...  ALL of them have no drive to want to do much.  But then... the ones most promoting legalizing this stuff are already there

Just keep yer smoke outta my face   I don't need lung cancer



Cough yer lungs out BABY

[Amaterasu]

i totally agree deuem .
Here's a water pipe filter that i invented using a ball point pen stainless steel spring.easy to clean.easy to make.more efficient air intake .last longer than normal stainless screen .easier to remove from bowl.burns product more efficiently.

Nice!

Can You prove He would have done better "sober?"  Is it possible He was hung over?  Were there any other drugs used?  I have to believe that there is more here than: He smoked pot and that caused the accident.

Gold for You.

[zorgon]

  I have to believe that there is more here than: He smoked pot and that caused the accident.
