So, I was reading the other day on Yahoo news about Mike Boyer being the first person in line to purchase recreational marijuana. Boyer, sent 19 hours waiting in line so that he could be the first person to purchase the pot. I know that for some people this is a big deal because they want to continue to get high and not worry about their every day life.
I have to say that I have better things to do than spend 19 hours in line to buy a product that is going to cost $50 just to feel good for a few hours. Now, yes it is now legal to purchase in the state of Washington, but employers are still not giving you a free pass to test positive for drugs. Is it really the risk to lose your job just so you can get high? Boyer felt so as in his interview he did not really seem to care that he had just gotten fired because his drug test was positive.
If you would have asked me a few years ago I would have said yes that marijuana should be legal and people should be free to smoke if they wish. It is something that does goes from the earth so why all the big fuss? Well, as I have gotten older and seen what it can do to people I would have to say that for marijuana to be legal to purchase could be a very big mistake. I am all for it being used for medical purposes because it does help in some cases, but for people to be able to run around and smoke could end in a bad way. There will be too many of the Boyer's out there that do not care about their jobs, only want to get high, and the risk factor is there too.
I just have to say best of luck to you Boyer as being on national news buying pot will take a little longer to land you a job. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this. Please leave a comment here on the post or on the Facebook page Renkadink!
