"As to dangerous, I find that most of the people using violence in this country are anti-drug, not pro." Can't exactly agree with ya' here. Just watch COPS...most of those actually committing stupid crimes are apparently pro-Alchohol. Pot? We can't have THAT be legalized now, or the CIA will lose a valuable source of covert action funding.

As to drugs and employment. I'm glad to see that you recognized that a programer, like myself, has far fewer responsibilities than a (mere?) babysitter. But, I still don't want to go to work with someone who is high on something. When people are high, they are unpredictable, and potentially dangerous. Drugs are a form of escapism.
That is complete and total bullshit. The fact -some- drugs have problems doesn't equate to -all- drugs.
Further, people are unpredictable in and of themselves. Drugs or no drugs. As to dangerous, I find that most of the people using violence in this country are anti-drug, not pro.
When was the last time a group of pot heads kicked anyones door down?
