It shows poor decision-making. It also means you have an employee associating with people you don't an employee associating with. What if they bought it from a dispensary where it’s legal? Or a friend gave it to them? Can’t assume too much. I mean, someone could not like people associating with you. ;-). |

That's a terribly framed argument. You're reaching to make a connection between two disparate things.
How are they disparate?
Meat is an essential part of a normal diet for a healthy body (and don't start with the vegan thing!), while recreational drugs are a good way to shorten your life. Consuming meat doesn't cause people to act erratically, or put others in danger (although I might kill for some bacon right about now!)... pot does. Can we just cut to the end and call each other doody-heads? LOL |

But honestly, I don't care where they get it. It shows immaturity and disregard for their own well-being. For medicinal purposes... I dunno. Like everything else, it gets distorted so much that anyone can get it as long as they have unconfirmable back pain. Opioids are a good example, except much more addictive. Not sure what the solution is there. I work in an industry that has a lot of contractors hired on a daily basis, and I've seen an instance where a guy came in stoned, and was sent home because he put others in danger. Guess what? His phone never rings with jobs now. I could go on about how this whole debate is the result of a society that has become too comfortable, but that's a rant for another day. |

I’d never advocate coming to work stoned. Ever. Or drunk.
Zero problem with medicinal marijuana.

I don't see how their nutritional values or behavioral effects are relevant to a conversation of who gets to decide what you are allowed to ingest.
And I'll not resort to insult. I respect you and I'm not trying to argue or fight. The way I see it though it is inconsistent to say that the government should be able to prohibit you from smoking pot but not from eating meat. That conclusion relies on capricious justifications of the badness of the one you don't like and the goodness of the one you do like.

Meat does not alter your consciousness. If you want to argue that they both go in your body, you can try it, but I don't think that's a legitimate point. The whole point I'm trying to make is that pot should NOT go in your body, as it's detrimental. Meat should, as it has positive benefits. You shouldn't drink motor oil either, but is it something that really needs to be said? |

The whole point I'm trying to make is that pot should NOT go in your body, as it's detrimental. Meat should, as it has positive benefits. You shouldn't drink motor oil either, but is it something that really needs to be said? We're having different conversations. Whether you should or shouldn't consume the item is irrelevant to what I'm talking about. All I am talking about is who gets to make the decision. When pot is illegal the government has made the decision for you. I think you are defending the decision itself rather than the right of the government to make that decision.
Imagine yourself in a world where the government just outlawed the consumption of meat. The legislative history has justifications for why meat is "bad." Would you say the government has that power?
If you would, then I think you're consistent in your beliefs. If you wouldn't, then how do you square that with your position on marijuana? By favoring pot prohibition you implicitly concede to the government the right to prohibit you from consuming what it decides is bad. You might think the decision to outlaw meat was wrong, but it doesn't matter what you think because it's now the law. This is a critically important distinction. If you are ok with pot being illegal you are putting the decision in the hands of the government.
