Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion at the link below.
- marmosskapaul: “The problem with pot is that it stays in your system too long. IDK if there is any way to measure the amount of THC like alcohol breathalyzer for people driving or not. What amount is permissible and what amount is not.?? That is going to be the problem with drug legalization. Will employers put up with a positive blood test?? You come to work with alcohol in your system, and most places fire you. You get pulled over driving..you get arrested. Will be interesting how it pans out. I’m ok with legalization, and I personally can’t stand a THC buzz…but doesn’t bother me if others smoke or eat it around me.”
- Ashley Schaeffer: “I honestly didn’t know they tested for weed. Testing golfers for weed in my neck of the woods would be like testing baristas for kale in Portland.”
- Swisstrader98: “Yet another reason millennials are running away from the game…weed is the opposite of PED’s.”
