The dead comment below you says:
> I have some stoner friends from high school who were really smart and gave up in college and now work mediocre dead end jobs and live in really low cost of living areas.
> They're happy. They're far from dead. But that potential they had is completely gone at this point.
What entitles you to their potential?
People may want to change the world, or may just want an entry level job that keeps them fed and housed while spending their time on drugs/videogames/what-the-hell-they-damn-want-its-not-my-problem
If really smart people decide that working in construction and smoking weed is their call, who am I to say otherwise?
- fakename11 6y agoSorry, but construction is a serious job. I don't want people that are high building bridges and homes.
- sircastor 6y agoThe same applies to construction and alcohol. It isn’t inherent that someone who works construction and uses a narcotic world do so while working.
- heavyset_go 6y agoYou'd be hard pressed to find anyone that supports decriminalization and thinks people should be getting high at work, especially people who do dangerous work.
- jackson1442 6y agoThe same could be said about alcohol. It’s none of my business what people do in their free time at home, as long as they can safely and effectively do their job when they’re on the clock.
- LocalH 6y agoLegalization or decriminalization doesn't necessarily lead to "everyone's getting high at work"
