Which brings this to mind again. This and the Where to go thread. So where and what are the disenfranchised to go and do? I'm a middle aged IT professional, recently downsized from a very good job. I also have a felony conviction for selling pot back in the 60's -- big deal, eh? Well it is now -- I've been turned down for three jobs because they did a background check.

Please list the companies. What state are you in? In some states the evil weed is more evil than others. If you were squeaky clean since, and your friends were too, you could work for the NSA, so its funny that you should run into that much trouble. Have you looked into having this removed from your record? Sometimes judges will do that. For Jah's sake, tossing a dog into traffic only gets you probation...
