People shouldn't drive while impaired. I think we all agree on that.

And yet based on my personal observation in smelling pot in traffic, including on freeways, they do.

At the same time, I discovered that someone I serve on a board with, who I had previously thought was just very, very lazy, is actually high during all of our meetings.

I don't think the answer to this is to ban marijuana, but it did make me start to feel that, yes, we have a "marijuana problem." As in, our society has not figured a time and place for marijuana. I don't want to work with people who are frequently zoned out or not finishing work because they are high. I have no problem with them getting high on their own time. How do we even fix this though?

This is so typical of people who constantly harp about THC. You know one lazy coworker who doesn't do his job because he is high and your conclusion is that all of the people who work from home are getting high? I worked from home for years. Never once did I get drunk or high. I also don't drink or get high when I'm in the office (plenty of drinking at my office during work hours, but that's totally fine, right). So I conclude based on my personal experience and my personal behavior that we do not have a "marijuana problem."

I just don't think people should be using marijuana while working, and was really surprised to find out that it's relatively common. Like I said, I don't think it should be illegal, but I am uncomfortable with the idea that we've normalized using pot even while working for many people.

I feel the same way about alcohol. Zero problems with people drinking and glad alcohol is legal, but if I found out a lot of people I work with were drinking on the job, or that someone I work closely with and rely on to be at his best was frequently drunk during our work together, I would be really bothered by it.

I don't get why this is a bad take or why you are upset with me for it?

You provided one example and then claimed it was common. How did you come to that conclusion based on one coworker? Of course, it shouldn't be used while working, just like drinking, or pain killers, or sedatives, etc. I'm upset because you're making huge generalizations based on one example. It's not logical.

how do they test that someone is actively high on MJ?

They arrest them based on the behavior they are exhibiting and take them to jail, where they do a urine or blood analysis to find out what the drug of choice was. The amount doesn't matter because there is no legal amount of THC while driving. Hope that answers your incredibly dumb question once and for all.

Oh my, you are angry. Maybe you should try a joint to relax? Have you ever been around a high person? I bet you have and you have NO idea because it's not like being drunk, it's much easier to exhibit functioning behavior. Urine tests show marijuana use over weeks, not hours. Blood tests will show it over hours but some people metabolize weed fast, it's not a hard rule like alcohol of 1 hour is 1 drink. Hope that helps your asinine and dumb analysis. I really hope you get that joint!
