If that bothers you, go work for someone who will tolerate sub-par efforts, potentially unsafe worker conditions, sloppy or dangerous customer service and a wide range of other problems.

I see both sides of this discussion - I think the problem lies not with the smoking of pot, so much as doing it while working. We come from an era that respected our elders, followed rules and had self respect for ourselves and the people around us. We might go out for a beer or two after work, but would not have considered having a beer while working. Yes, yes...it is illegal, but times have changed a great deal about almost everything that I believed in during my youth. We are kinda on a "slippery slope" in our society now. Drug use and sex are glorified on the television and at the movies. Stuff that would have been considered disgraceful 50 years ago is commonplace today. It will be very interesting to watch society over the next decade or two (God willing).
