Would you take a cut in pay for a MJ-friendly job?
All things being equal, would you take a cut in pay if your company didn't care about MJ use?

- No tests, other than to ensure you don't come to work stoned (unless you need Med. MJ)
- Same level of healthcare (that doesn't care about MJ use)

How much of a cut in pay is that worth?

2. He meant Michael Jordan,
...not that white skinny midget female singer chick with a penchant for little cancer-boys.

9. No tests. Unless safety requires them.
I wonder who owns stock in the urine testing company. Another intrusive program that set us up to hand over rights the first time a crisis hit.

10. I used to work for a company...
...in the high-tech industry and entire departments were stoned on most days.

Everyone knew it. I think it actually improved the quality of
their work (3D animation).

I'd love to have that job back...

15. Why not a third option?
I'll take option 3: emigrate to a nation with a corporate culture not so anti-MJ. Canada's dollar is worth more than the US dollar so..

18. My boss...
My boss once asked our drug testing company if they would disregard positive test for pot. They said no.

19. My CEO smokes in our office
I don't though, because I have work to do. I only partake if I have the next 4 or 5 hours completely clear of any responsibility.

His company acquired ours and the first thing he said was "BTW this is now a pot friendly office". It was very shocking to hear. That said, I've never been drug tested and I've worked for some very large corporations. It probably helped that the home offices were on the east and west coasts.
