6. So us $8.00 an hour workers

Are still on the clock without pay because we have to obey our employers rules off the clock. I say Fuck them. I've smoked for over 30 years off and on the clock. I've always hated how employees can talk about drinking each other under the table on a Tuesday night, and then come in if they can the next day. Pot has NO hang over. Pot is more likely to put you to bed at a decent time, so you're well rested and ready for work the next day. I would hire pot heads over drinkers every time if I had to choose. States that have legal MJ should allow people to be able to keep their job. And states that have Medical MJ should accept the recommendations, or give us disability to avoid cheating on a drug test. Fuck em. And zero tolerance if they're going to enforce that, should include alcohol. For years and years and years we've been hearing "But pot is illegal" bullshit. Well, now it's not in 2 states. We've suffered enough having to worry that some simple accident could cost us our job for the joint smoked 2 weeks ago. Compared to the idiot who caused the accident who drinks, but didn't test positive, but still has a job.
