Rocky Mountain High

[Kaos]

Thousands stood in line on Wednesday to be the first to legally purchase recreational marijuana in the state of Colorado.

At least 37 stores across Colorado were fully licensed and opened to sell marijuana to anyone 21 or over for any purpose on Wednesday, the Denver Post reported. Sales started at 8 a.m.

Across the state, thousands cheerfully braved bitter cold weather and stood in line for hours to legally buy marijuana. Besides the money, all they needed was identification.

First time I visit Colorado, I'm buying some. 

I've only smoked pot once, and it didn't do anything.  I'd like to be high just once in my life.

I'll go with you.  Been there, want to go again.

THC is the opposite of alcohol.  It stays in the system longer and you tend to not build up a tolerance, so the more you smoke the faster you get high and the longer it lasts.  Or so I remember.

I'm in.

If only every other state would get with the program.

See, I would have guessed that you stay high.

Ok so lets say I go to Colorado. Get baked. Come home.

Say I have an employer. One who does random drug screening. Could I get in trouble for partaking in a legal activity on my own time?

Just curious.

Yes. A company can have whatever policy it wants. Drinking is legal too but I can't come to work drunk. So is cursing loudly. But that'll get me in trouble as well.

It's the catch 22 of these laws. I still wouldn't be able to if I wanted to for fear of a Random at work.

[Snaggletiger]

I own the company so I can smoke all the weed I want.

Before you know it, beating off at your desk will be a mister meaner.

Yes, because it is still a federal crime.  Boeing sent all the employees notice that even in Washington that the company drug policy was not changed.

Not sure we are meaning the same thing. A company can prohibit anything it wants federally legal or not. Scripts are legal. Beer is legal. But if a company decides it doesn't want it's employees under the influence of anything other than sprite and sweat tea in the workplace it can do so. I think what you are saying is more along the lines of it being legal vs corporate policy.

That attitude doesn't sound very caring

Your probably right, but in the memo that I got from Boeing it used the federal law as justification for firing somebody at work who failed a drug test.

So, it's wrong to have sex with the cleaning woman on my desk?  Because, I gotta tell ya, I didn't see that in the employee handbook anywhere.

[oldautiger]

May have to change the state's name from Colorado to The Magic Kingdom..........yeah baby, let's load up the SUV and head up that a way.

Cleaning woman is okay.  Janitor....not so much.

What about doing the cleaning woman while the janitor watches. Surely that's o.k.

Note to self:  Never drink GH's tea.
