3. I live in Oregon, where many people use marijuana
and many are prevented from much employment because of that. So what we wind up with are lots of people in the public workforce who are very obviously using meth, which leaves the system quickly and allows a clean test. So how great is that? We wind up with poked, scattered, clearly drugged customer service, instead of having qualified, trustworthy and pleasant people to deal with. There are several businesses here that drug test at which I will not use a credit card, because their employees are meth heads and it is obvious. I told one store that I will not even shop there because of the drugs, and they said 'but we drug test' and I covered the facts. The manager looked stunned. I told him I simply can not trust his workers as they are strung the hell out. Strung out.
They even disqualify people who use marijuana exclusively as medicine, and there are many of those people, people who use it instead of heavy debilitating drugs. And they can not be hired, but a speed addict not only can be, but will be.
It is enough to make me consider moving to a more broadly based city, as there is too much speed here, and too much of the State law supports the meth users and that is in fact, a danger to the public.
Plus I get tired of seeing the bad skin, to be honest about it, hard to eat food made by people who seem to be dying of drug abuse. But they pee clean, so gee, that is great!
A bunch of idiots. And of course, it is yet again the Insurance Industry that is to blame for this.
