You know what made me quit? An Elevator ??? I bet you are saying WTF...

I work on the 7th floor, the elevator was down for a week, and on day two I was going up stairs after a smoke break, and stopped on the 3rd floor to take a breath and a 50 year old 5'2" 450 lb woman in my office passed me up on those stairs like I was standing still. Here I am, 5'10" 190 lb ok shape just huffin and puffin by floor 3... Man that was sorry...

Im not talking some **** $15 an hour idiot chump change job, most people here are on salary of 60+ or making hourly at over 30+. Professionals with decades of experience, not some Out of Highschool or Out of college Job. Ive been to the corperate xmas partys where we rent out entire freakin marriot hotels, and oh yah, Directors and VP, and regionals, yah dude. most people smoke weed. If you dont think that is true, thats cause nobody has admitted it to you.

When i was in the military on all 4 bases i was on, most people i met used to smoke weed and are pretty open about it.

I dont hang out with idiot burner potheads, i hang with people who have thier own sucessful business, insurance reps, reps for glaxo smith and kline, telecommunications like myself, IT, accounting, Most of my buddys make right about what i do if not a bit more. All professional people in well paid positions of 70k+ a year.

Does that sound like a bunch of potheads? sounds like you got yer head too far up your *** to smell the green in the air.

i dont mean to be rude, but dont ****ing call me and my friends a bunch of potheads and put judgement on them. Just because nobody says anything to you does not mean it isnt around. It just means nobody trusts you enough to let you into thier lives.

I dunno. Maybe you live in an amish community. who knows.
First off, I do live in Amish country. Ever heard of PA?

I too was in the military and NEVER saw anyone that I served with smoke pot! That is not to say that soldiers and saylors do not get busted for it, in fact, you get kicked-out of service for doing it and they do perform drug testing which catches people, but I don't believe for a minute that most smoke dope. I also spent fours years in college and NEVER, not once saw anyone use drugs that I went to school with with the exception of a party that I was at at my sister's college.

If someone regularly smokes weed, then they are therefore a pot head. I can judge any drug user that I want and if you use drugs, you are threfore a drug user...call it what it is.

I can also tell you for a fact, that the 20 closest friends that I have do NOT smoke pot. And yes, people do let me in my lives.

My employer also performs drug testing and so did the employer that I worked for before. I remember one of our sales managers peed hot for coke. His got fired and lost his 130k job. He had a tough time explaining that to his wife.
