I then took it to the sheriff’s office to have it tested for dna evidence. The deputies thanked me and said they would get their best detectives on the case right away. I never got word of the results of their investigation, but I’ll bet someone is now doing hard time for offense. I believe the Villages is a safer place because of my efforts.

The OP started this thread by making a reasonable comment ... workers were smoking pot on the job, and she expressed surprise with the implication she did not approve. Now, some posters may want to legalize pot or not, but using drugs on the job is a common sense no-no and it is not difficult to understand why it should not be permitted.

I also note that a number of posters seem to express trendy opinions about this as well ... recycling the arguments we've all heard our entire lives. It's no worse than alcohol etc, don't be so up-tight yadda, or using sarcasm to write snarky replies and in effect belittle the OP.

If you think it's ok for maintenance workers to smoke pot on the job, and using your amenities fees, just come out say it plainly. I am curious to see who truly support such a position.
