Somebody Else sure signs for stoners so employers know, but why stop the discrimination there ? theres drinkers, fat people, those on anti-depressents...
we could get some kind of goverment survellience so employers could know every little bad habit of thier potential employees
and somebody else as for the bit about being tedious your probably either a hypocrit (drinker) or quite boring yourself.

Happily I'm planning on going into an industry where self-discipline is a requirement.
Welcome to Britain under Labour...
Either a drinker, or boring... So non-drinkers, (or indeed, anyone without any vices) are quite boring are they? Interesting...
And yes, I do drink - but infrequently have I met someone who drinks who behaves in the same way that the majority of those that I have met who smoke do.
Oh, and I have the occasional cigar, even snuff too.
I do not, however, claim to be interesting. It's not my place to do so.

Yes, people with no vices are usually tediously self-righteous and very boring in my experience. Having no character flaws at all is usually a recipe for a person being utterly un-likeable in my book.So non-drinkers, (or indeed, anyone without any vices) are quite boring are they?
Why would there be a need to have weed users declare it to potential employers? If it makes them lazy or unprofessional, that should be reason enough not to employ them without delving into their personal habits. If not, it's none of your business.
So any vice is OK (gluttony for the win!), or does it have to be chemically induced?
That's what I was thinking originally...if they're lazy, just fire them/don't hire them.Why would there be a need to have weed users declare it to potential employers? If it makes them lazy or unprofessional, that should be reason enough not to employ them without delving into their personal habits.
Plenty of places in the US where it could be produced. As for Europe, Morocco is already a major exporter - but in the Rif mountains, it is completely dominated by crime cartels. Legalization would break those and quite possibly be an advantage to the actual farmers in the region. In other words, for best results a coordinated effort with the Moroccan government would be worthwhile - we'd probably get it cheaper, and Morocco would actually make money of the deal.

Hmm make sense to me.
Either a drinker, or boring... So non-drinkers, (or indeed, anyone without any vices) are quite boring are they? Interesting...
Probably a bit too much of a generalisation but i would say quite a few people without any vices could be quite boring
And yes, I do drink - but infrequently have I met someone who drinks who behaves in the same way that the majority of those that I have met who smoke do.
Yes smokers tend to behave a bit different to drinkers.... im reminded of a song think its by the streets ill have a look....
I don't see what your problem with smokers behaviour is ? England football fans show us regularly what a good bit of alcohol intake can do, i can't quite imagine a group of stoners quite behaving the same way..... we see the negative effects of drink every weekend in our citys, violence and public disorder, so how can you see this behaviour as ok but stoners as not ?
although you did describe stoners as boring so maybe the problem is they don't get up to all this crap when thier stoned ? ill admit it probably has its own entertainment value, but then call me boring because i won't be out this friday night kicking someones head in and stealing a traffic cone...
