Drug Rights

As I stated before, anyone that abuses any drug or alcohol or anything else
needs to be responsible for their own actions and pay there own way and then the problems we face will take care of themselves.
Note to moderator.....the ads on this program have gotten so bad they cover up the content of the messages people are trying to post. If this continues I will be forced to look elsewhere. I refuse to read or connect with any sponsor that has there ad cover up what I am typing so I can't even read it.

I tried the adblock and it does work, once I restarted my computer. Though for some reason I can't get the posts to be the full width of the page anymore. Its as if the space for the ad is still there and won't let the posts use it. There may be a way to change the page settings but I don't know how to do that.

Changing the zoom just makes the font bigger as I just found out. It doesn't make the posts take up the whole page as they did before. Its not a big deal, was just happy to get rid of the ads. Those were annoying.

I think it's more an issue of insurance than legality. Even if pot were legal, insurance companies would not cover companies that employ druggies. And those who don't use drugs value themselves higher than the "high pay" that isn't high enough in this age of prosperity and education.

Insurance will certainly have a hand in this, especially if on the job accidents show a high (no pun intended) number of "victims" with THC in the blood.
Another issue is people cannot get or maintain a security clearance if the pop on a urinalysis.

That article cites this one: An Ohio Factory Owner Is Eager To Hire Workers, There Is Just One Problem... | Zero Hedge
According to WTVR, an Ohio factory owner said on Saturday that although she has numerous blue-collar jobs available at her company, she struggles to fill positions because so many candidates fail drug tests. Regina Mitchell, co-owner of Warren Fabricating & Machining in Hubbard, Ohio, told The New York Times this week that four out of 10 applicants otherwise qualified to be welders, machinists and crane operators will fail a routine drug test.
Inside The Opioid Crisis: Inside The Opioid Crisis: What The Mainstream Media Won't Let You See | Zero Hedge
Princeton professor and former Obama White House economist Alan Krueger is out with a Bookings paper titled: Where Have All the Workers Gone? An Inquiry Into The Decline Of The U.S. Labor Force Participation Rate. In the report, Krueger gives it his best to correlate the “mushrooming opioid crisis in the U.S. since the early 2000’s” in connection between the use of “pain medication and opioid prescription rates” with the declining labor force of prime age males.
There are much larger trends at play and the opioid crisis is just a symptom of extreme wealth inequality in the United States.
That is the heart of the matter.
A friend of mine said his company has 30-40 openings continually and they pay almost twice the minimum wage. I simply said "raise the pay and you'll find workers." The minimum wage hasn't keep up with inflation and twice the minimum is not a living wage.
On one hand qualified workers don't want to work for the peanuts being offered and the druggies who would agree to work for the peanuts, they aren't good enough.
As the division of wealth continues, expect to see an exacerbated drug problem and increased suicides. People don't want to work for peanuts and they shouldn't have to.
