I always find it funny when a kid at work quits smoking pot, then a new person gets hired that smokes like they did and I get asked, “was I that fucking stupid and unaware?”
And I answer “yes”
And they go, “Why didn’t you kill me out of frustration”
And I say, “until you quit, you don’t understand how how unaware you are, well because your brain isn’t funtioning properly so you are not self aware, then one day you cut down or quit and then realize it, so no point in saying anything because you would have thought you were doing just fine”
My dad always said he’d rather hire a drunk than a pot head, a drunk will be tired in the morning but work hard the rest of the day, the pot head is too stupid to know what’s going on.
Mind you there is always outliers. My uncle I believe functioned better a little high all the time. Same as a buddy of mine, it was a running joke that he got smarter after he smoked.
I never ask anyone to quit, but I ask them to mellow out enough so they are at least aware of their surroundings at work.
I always find it funny when some protest that they never smoke pot, but don’t notice the customer standing in front of them, then once they realize I don’t care tell me they smoke all the time, and I’m thinking, really no shit I never noticed, lol.
I smoked a bunch for a couple years. I stopped the day I hung a prehung door in my bathroom wrong once.
I got it in, squared, perfect, then my stoned brain for some reason thought they hung the door upside down on the frame, so I popped it off, notched out the hinges, turned it around, added the handle and went to close it and well, it didn’t line up with the latch.
I thought if I had become so stupid I can’t hang a prehung door, it was time to quit.
My stepson and I used to smoke and hang out together, it’s unfortunate after I quit he started experimenting with hard drugs.
