  1. Big Deal on Marijuana on Drug Use Among Programmers · · Score: 1

    I've got to agree with A-Cow this one. Let's see now... the latest polls show what... 2 out of 5 people have smoked MJ... OK... well, now I would think that if you include the paranoia factor in there, one must rectify this statement by saying that 2 out of 5 people have admitted to smoking MJ.

    Lots of people in the industry smoke. They may have trouble remembering where they left their keys, but it doesn't seem to nullify the years of code that have been engrained there.

    And by the way... When did it become OK to analyse your employees activities when they're not at work? And how does this give you the right to assess what "optimal performance" might be for any particular employee?

    If I played basketball every night after work & stayed up late watching TV so that I'm always tired when I come into work, does that mean I have a problem that effects wy work performance and my lifestyle should be under a microscope in Human Resources?

    The point here is that if your work suffers you will hear about it. If you have a "problem" with ANYTHING then you will pay the piper. Somehow people think that because there is information about why something is bad for you that the public no longer has the right to choose. But it's selective though isn't it? Nuclear power has been proven over & over to be dangerous & toxic, but they haven't outlawed their use...

    So if something makes a buck and kills you it's OK, but otherwise you're too inept to make your own informed decisions...

    OK fine, be like the dutch. Legalize the marijuana & tax it, HEAVILY. Make the prices the same as they are now, but instead of the money going out of the country to cartels, let it be used for education, or anti drug crusades against DANGEROUS drugs. That way the 'dumbasses' can pay to do away with themselves.... Right?

    Why are we fighting natural selection?
