I’m 41, tried smoking pot in high school but had very bad experiences with it (way too harsh and made me paranoid and sick). Buying weed from a dealer was gross, unreliable, etc.

Over the last few months I’ve enjoyed shopping online for lower THC percentages, and have even discovered I enjoy having half a gummy and falling asleep at night. I sleep great and no hangover! There’s a whole new world of possibilities out there, lol.

Tell Congress. Maybe then they'll legalize it at the federal level and I can start using it without worrying about drug testing.

Federal Employees will lose their job and their federal career if they use marijuana. And it does not matter whatsoever, where you use; you’ll still lose your career.

If you are a user, we will catch you. We monitor everything.

You’re not important and no one cares.

I'm giggling like crazy over the uptight DC hall monitors on here. I live in NYC and regularly get high with my coworkers--all of us highly paid professionals. Truly it's a different culture down there.

Know it all New Yorkers are so annoying. I'd know. I grew up there.

DC smells like weed. All the time.

Which city smokes the most is a pretty silly contest, but let's be accurate.

Laugh? Millions of lives were destroyed over puritanical legislation leading to marijuana convictions with terrible collateral consequences. Nothing to laugh about.

Don't worry, we won't be laughing when we realize all of the damage from this. See already statistics on mental illness, brain changes, apathy, etc. I have a father who died of lung cancer at 44 after smoking pot.

Oh, I'm sure DC reeks. But the people on DCUM are ridiculous in their fears of reefer madness. I just never see this attitude here. Several of my doctors have recommended weed to me as a cure for various ailments.

I think it can be helpful, depending on the condition but I am surprised so many doctors recommend it. It doesn’t address or treat the source of the pain or issue, just dulls or masks it. I am looking for something that actually deals with the inflammation that causes my chronic pain. Weed doesn't do that. I have heard it helps with anxiety but what happens when someone stops taking it?

There are plenty more articles like this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7023045/

Do more research. It’s been a lifesaver for many. Research RSO while you’re at it.

And yet you have nothing better to do with your glamorous life than hang out on DCUM?

Young professionals in NYC have been partying with all sorts of drugs for decades. You’re not new or special. One thing you may not get though is the difference between blowing off steam and being a habitual user. Since you haven’t learned this lesson yet, just know this, it doesn’t matter if it’s alcohol, coke, weed or whatever, if your colleagues think you’ve become a habitual user and dependent, you’re finished in that job.

I mean, I'm certainly a caffeine addict, so who am I to cast stones, but I think if you regularly use a psychoactive substance, especially to dull some sort of pain, you should own it and call yourself a junkie. If you can't say that with a smile then maybe give it some thought.

Me too! I am a civil engineer, so remember that I like to get high regularly next time you drive over a bridge.

Honestly interested in your response. Did he smoke tobacco as well?
