Lots of people love it, just like lots of people love beer, professional wrestling or Vienna sausages.

we all have our little "fixes."

Somehow the twelve-step patriarchs always bounce out if you mention cannabis or alcohol, but they say nary a word about addictions to fatty food and crap TV or about addictions like shopaholism. These are not "dependencies" but "behaviors."

"But i care about you! And if you have insurance I run a program that can cure you of your dependency!" is what I expect them to post any second now. it's ALWAYS about the money. ALWAYS - for these patriarchal authoritarian types.

I'm sorry the nannies came out to tell you how you're on the express lane to dissipation when you were just lodging a very common complaint these days

And for the record, i did not mean to indicate above that there is no one who "needs" cannabis.

if "need" is defined as "must have to relieve debilitating and painful maladies," there are many who "need" cannabis.

Now I don't know if beer helps with the symptoms of any diseases, but it's legal. And you didn't need a dozen lectures because you made the very correct statement that drug testing is infringing on your personal rights.

Hope you had a nice evening last night anyway, and that you find a better job soon :hi:
