    So because there are going to be scumbags risking lives driving stoned we should just shrug our shoulders????

    Never bought into the entire softness dealing with addiction. Bunch of weak willed BS to me.

    Is it possible that the trainer was blowing synthetic pot smoke up you hole and you're making a mountain out of absolutely nothing. Just asking....

    Making a mountain out of absolutely nothing? He opened a sealed package, rolled it up, and smoked the crap right in front of me. On top of that, he was attempting to drive when he could barely talk. He admitted to smoking it while he's driving. Was he testing me to see if I'd smoke it? No. Is he a POS scumbag getting high behind the wheel of a truck and putting innocent people in danger? YES.

    Maybe you hesitated to take control of the situation due to him being the trainer and you being the trainee. The only way I know of to put a dead stop to what he was doing is to warn him as soon as you see what's about to happen. Let him know right off the bat that it ain't happening in your presence and if he continues there's gonna be big trouble. If he goes ahead and gets trashed against your will, jeopardizing yours and others safety then take control and stop him no matter what it takes or the outcome. When he's trashed he's all yours!

    I know nothing about drugs, would not know marijuana if it bit me on the leg. You did the right thing, now move on. You cannot save the world by yourself.

    However, not being knowledgeable about illegal drugs, I researched synthetic "weed". According to info I read, and talking to a 'pot-head' { nephew }, it seems like it is legal to use this stuff in some areas. It is being sold in stores in my state.
    Now I am not advocating using any stimulant.Do not think I am pro-drug. But if it is legal to sell it, and I cannot find it on any list of banned substances, what gives ?
