Smoking weed now a human right in Mexico

Now lets talk about my human right not to employ this person or associate with them in any way..............

Thanks for admitting you discriminate against people who smoke pot, because that's the only reason pot was ever made illegal in the first place. Now go have a stiff drink and a fat cigar and think about that Viagra you're going to surprise the missus with later and fuggetaboutit.

Sugar poses a bigger health threat than pot, but all the slow-thinking brainwashed folks see no problem with using sugar or even with kids consuming it. #PobrePueblo

...as that was the intent of the post --- discussion.

But maybe you would be kind enough to clarify first who you mean by "this person"?

Luv it! Gone for a couple years and same ol, same ol. Jeeze! Does time stand still?

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.

If you do not wish to associate in any way with anyone who does not or never will toke a bit, the vetting process alone may become an exhausting exercise. Plus it may get a little lonely, but to each his own.

You probably do (employ and associate with) if you employ and associate with many people. I would feel as comfortable employing someone who smokes on occasion as a social drinker. I think that the irrational judgements are made by misinformed people who have never smoked and have either heard or read a ton of nonsense. I would feel safer spending time with someone smoking that someone drinking heavily. The drinker is way more likely to become aggressive and abusive than the smoker. The worst that the smoker is likely to do is go searching for oreos, cupcakes and dingdongs and spend the evening contemplating the universe. There are worse things.

I cannot opine on the rest of NA but in my country...
1. The Government (i.e. legislation etc) cannot force you to "associate" with anyone "...subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."
2. You can refuse to hire someone who smokes marijuana but not if (a) they are addicted and seeking treatment or (b) they smoke for medical reasons.
Which of course raises the question - how would you know? The answer usually raises more human rights issues.

You did want a serious answer did you not?

You already have that right. Your point?
