C'mon people! Of course it's his right to not hire someone or associate with someone. Many of us believe in the benefits of cannabis, but some of us think it's the first step to heroin addiction or whatever. It's not our job to "fix" peoples' thinking when they don't want it fixed. It's just a comment...accept it for what it is and move on.

It's unfounded discrimination against a class of people who otherwise would be indistinguishable from the general population. A discrimination I've had to tolerate most of my life. I grew up fighting discrimination, only to see so much of the work of those days undone by all the bigots coming out of the closet when a half-black man was elected president, to such an extent that now it's actually socially acceptable once again for folks to openly make xenophobic comments and even to run for the presidency on a blatantly xenophobic ticket. While I may not agree with folks who are religious or conservative, I don't condemn them for it or draw any lines and mark them off limits. I ask no more or less from others. It is very much a part of the culture of Mexico to be tolerant of anything except intolerance. To live and let live.
