you do believe that the government's caring about your health is the reason why ganja is outlawed?
- tptacek 16y agoI hope I speak for all of us when I say that this is not a discussion we can productively have on HN. The "dreads" issue is at least marginally interesting to HN, if only to send loud-and-clear the message of "DON'T MENTION SOMEONE'S HAIR AS A HIRING CRITERIA".

- cryptoz 16y agoThat's totally off-topic. It's illegal to smoke tobacco in most workplaces in North America. I don't care if the plant itself is illegal. That's totally irrelevant. The point is, if you go to work and smoke tobacco at work you'll be fired instantly. The reason for this is that your second-hand smoke causes cancer in other people. That's a safety concern. Even if ganja were legal, smoking it at work would still not be legal. This whole comparison is absurd.
