Basic facts about drugs:
This is a very good article
I pulled part of it as a teaser

The Impact on the Body
Chronic marijuana smokers are prey to chest colds, bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial asthma. Persistent use will damage lungs and airways and raise the risk of cancer. There is just as much exposure to cancer-causing chemicals from smoking one marijuana joint as smoking five tobacco cigarettes. And there is evidence that marijuana may limit the ability of the immune system to fight infection and disease.
Marijuana also affects hormones. Regular use can delay the onset of puberty in young men and reduce sperm production. For women, regular use may disrupt normal monthly menstrual cycles and inhibit ovulation. When pregnant women use marijuana, they run the risk of having smaller babies with lower birth weights, who are more likely than other babies to develop health problems. Some studies have also found indications of developmental delays in children exposed to marijuana before birth.

by being in that "circle" years ago, i KNOW there are MANY more smokers out there than you realize(probably)
my experience has been that 60-70 percent of const. workers smoke.
most Co.s rarely do any more than a pre-employment test IF THAT.

Let me put it this way: If I found out, or caught you doing it, you would be off my property so fast, you'd #### yourself.
60-70%? No wonder so many structures are built with such low quality.

actually builders cutting corners. and the general lack of a sense of pride in doing your job well so many americans have today. "just enough to get by" seeems to be the motto, it IS a shame.
one builder in our area a few years back didn't put brick ties on some of the houses, well 6 months later they had a crapload of complaints about walls sagging and swaying!
also, being that you never were a smoker you HAVE NO CLUE on how any certain individual could perform their work while on it.

It just kills me.

A hard working man,works everyday to support his family,gives his wife and kids a good life and fought for the freedom of this country IN THE WAR ON THE BATTLE FEILD...

Then tell him he can't smoke a little weed now and then.
because it's ILLEGAL....

Then right around the corner,they have ADULT BOOKSTORES set up ALL OVER THE PLACE for PERVS,POLITICIANS,JUDGES,COPS,GAYS AND LAWYERS to go into ''LEGALLY'' AND PERFORM SEX ACTS WITH EACH OTHER and spread AIDS.Thats O.K. RIGHT?No one ever touches that issue..

But they will be first to judge a man for smoking a little ''WEED'' TO RELAX FROM A LONG HARD WORK WEEK...GO FIGURE..

Who the hell passes these laws?Its crazy stuff..

It's funny you say that because I know a "HOME" builder not a house builder and the whole crew smokes.

You go anywhere around here in about a 75mile radius to any lumber yard for instance and ask who they will recommend to build YOUR home and they will most likely recommend this crew.

Talking with them you will never know.
