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

Same here. I'm not gonna test myself. That would be stupid.

But I got a conference coming up in Boulder in a few months.  Some of my people will be going.  I will too, now.

I want some of this right here.

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.

I asked my General Counsel this question before I was supposed to go to Amsterdam. The answer is that if I get popped for a whiz quiz post trip, and ring the bell, then I am fired. 

Generally speaking, it's at the employer's discretion - unless you are held to a higher standard.  We have truck drivers that are DOT regulated, so all of us are subject to DOT drug testing regs.

Don't matter if it's legal WHERE you do it if it isn't legal at your place of employment. I don't care what CO law is, teachers and surgeons and truck drivers aren't going to be allowed to toke up.

People in Colorado have (predictably) been stealing mile marker signs that have "420" on them.

Colorado's response?  Genius.

DENVER - Thieves have been stealing the 420 mile marker sign so often, the state's transportation department has changed it to "419.99" in an effort to try and stop the problem.

A photo of the 419.99 mile marker sign, which is about 148 miles on Interstate 70 east of Denver, began circulating on twitter through the @JournalistsLike twitter account on Friday.

"So this is our way to test it out. So far it's working," said Amy Ford, a spokesperson with the Colorado Department of Transportation. "It's a traffic safety thing. It's a helpful thing to have these signs on the road. But people kept ripping them off."

The number 420 is often used as a reference to smoking marijuana.

The 419.99 sign has been put up within the last year Ford said.

Ford also says they've had problems with thieves stealing the 69 mile marker sign in the past.

I cancelled a trip to Europe this spring, so my consolation prize is a long weekend trip to either CO or WA.  X-trip out west if anyone is interested.

When you thinking?

Haven't set a date.  Early-mid March, perhaps.
