People criticized Cris Carter when he said they should have cut him so he could hit rock bottom and go thru a full rehab/treatment program.

Really? I didn't see any criticism regarding those comments. I think they should've cut him as well.

When you have people in a position of important decisions on a daily basis, it is required. Same can be said of alcohol. The issue with weed is it can be tough to smell or to see if someone is under the influence. All my employee's are superintendents, estimators, project managers, purchasers, etc. It is what it is, you just can't smoke if you want a career in a corporate type setting. I would think most folks who smoke are either retired, a low level employee, or self employed. Just reality. I don't care if someone smokes weed, they just won't work for my firm.

For over a decade this was my specific field of study so I can state with confidence that among Fortune 500 companies it is very unusual to subject management - especially upper level - or IT staff to unwarranted urine tests for purpose of detecting marijuana use.

Pragmatic and accurately educated business owners know that cannabis use very rarely has adverse impact on workplace performance so they risk losing stronger management and leadership employees if they are foolish enough to deem cannabis use as a fireable offense.

Most notable is the sensible insulation of IT workers from cannabis testing. Surveys of the corporate - based tech communities indicate usage at 2 to 3x the normal average for the obvious reason that many tech workers demonstrate improved job performance when they include at least some level of periodic cannabis use.

A smart employer knows the value and cost of intergrating good tech staff and would not risk losing good staff simply because they use cannabis.

Hopefully the NFL will soon join the NBA in realizing that cannabis consumption does not diminish on-field job performance and then sensibly end the undue prohibition of players using cannabis.

What is America's obsession with weed. The majority of pot smokers are ugly and have permanent zits. Don't often see clean good looking pot smokers.

A lot if not the vast majority have a pre-employment drug screening including marajuana. Most of not all have a testing policy in the event of an accident while operating a company vehicle too.

Barman....hope all is well in sunny florida. I have no problem with weed from a recreational standpoint. The problem is detection in the work place. Back in my younger days I smoked a lot. Once in a blue moon I will partake in it maybe on new years or a ski trip. The issue lies with my field and using daily. I can attest from experience that it puts you off your game. Smoking before coming into the office will have effects in work quality in my field. If you have a job, like my Web designer, it probably doesn't matter. My problem is detection in the workplace.

It truly depends on what field you get high... And everyone's body/mind is different.

I'd say weed pretty much helps most of the creative workforce (web developers/designers included)... Lawyers (depends how it affects your confidence and memory).

Big NO NO's obviously include security work, medicine, handling heavy duty machinery, etc.

Would never hire an attorney that burns before he goes to work.

But very interesting that you think weed helps people with their jobs.
