Duuuude? Funny to get people high accidentally? More evidence America has headed in the wrong direction.
We don't mind if we get people high on illegal drugs, but don't dare knowingly smoke a cigarette or cigar at work.

Last week we asked SodaHeads what they thought about a woman who accidentally brought "special brownies" to work. Was it a laughing matter or a horrible mistake?
Here's a quick recap of the original story:
The majority of people who responded, and there were a lot of you, thought the story was hilarious, so we've sent out notices to all of your employers informing them you might be under the influence of marijuana at work.
Just kidding! Your secret is safe with us.
But we did dig into your responses to look for interesting trends, and took a quick dip into the government's database to fill you in on some big-picture statistics.
Let's dive.
Here's a quick recap of the original story:
After divulging on the chocolate treats, three of the co-workers said they started feeling lightheaded, numb and disoriented and were taken to the hospital.
Investigators later found that the brownies were of the marijuana variety. It turns out, the co-worker's son had baked the pot brownies about a year ago -- nasty, we know -- and put them in the freezer, only to be discovered by his mother a year later and brought into the office.

Pot is much safer than alcohol. I would much rather be around someone smoking pot than someone drinking alcohol. Do I believe people in a position of responsibility, like a parent or someone at a particular job, should smoke pot? No. I don't think they should. It should be done in a responsible manner and, yes, you can be responsible and be a pot smoker. I no longer smoke pot, because I am a parent. I wouldn't put myself in a position where I couldn't have my wits about me properly to take care of myself or my child. The only thing I'v...
Pot is much safer than alcohol. I would much rather be around someone smoking pot than someone drinking alcohol. Do I believe people in a position of responsibility, like a parent or someone at a particular job, should smoke pot? No. I don't think they should.

I wouldn't put myself in a position where I couldn't have my wits about me properly to take care of myself or my child. The only thing I've ever noticed pot do to me is slow my response and attention. It's never made me make poor decisions, act out violently, etc. like alcohol regularly does.
I firmly believe that if alcohol is going to be legal, pot should as well. It's faaaar more harmless. This is coming from someone who has been scarred by alcoholism.
Weed is way less dangerous than alcohol, yet alcohol is legal.
............ why do I think you'd be just a little less understanding ..... it's not like she got you fired, you're the one that peed a Hot Test, not her .... right ?
You can't possibly make this sh*t up ... it has to be true ..... where the hell is the wall ....
Unless you're driving/making life threatening decisions.
So smoke when you're lazy and when you're with friends (it's a social drug, and it's easier to make sure that no one gets hurt, the same that you do when you're drinking).
Marijuana is so much safer than alcohol, makes me wonder why it hasn't been legalized nationally yet.
Alcohol has intoxicating effects, and the majority of governments trust their citizens to make effective decisions about their inebriation.
Alcohol has life-threatening short-term AND long-term effects, as well as having cognitively destructive potential for addicts. Irrecoverable damage.
Marijuana intoxicates its users, and the majority of governments DO NOT trust their citizens to make effective decisions about its use.
Marijuana has no life-threatening short-term effects, and is only loosely related (in nearly addictive cases of usage) to the development of cancer - much less so than abusive alcohol habits. Other than that, NO PERMANENT DAMAGE. All cognitive effects diminish within 3 months of abstinence. Also, it is physically nonaddictive (everything is psychologically addictive). Not to mention that light smokers have been clinically found to have improved IQ scores, productivity, and mood.
..Argue with me some more, it's kind of fun.
