    Most of us are grownups here. No one is offended no one is judging you.

    I get what your saying. Thnxs. I am serious about not using it while I have a CDL. I have to much to loose. I got kids a wife and 3 dogs to take care. We are looking to buy a house. I cant afford to risk it. Again thnxs for the heads up.

    Buy a house in Las Vegas; much more fun than old boring Ohio and the weather is good year round!

    Listen, I'm not trying to be an ###. Nobody here knows you. To be fair, your first post didn't make clear that you were dedicated to being clean while driving. If that's true, good. A little hit here and there isn't going to fry your brain, I see no reason you shouldn't drive.

    But don't take it personally that many of us are tired of hearing people with stories like yours, only to find out that they are a bit more habitual than they lead on, or they piss hot a few months down the line and they time we spent training them goes in the toilet. It's frustrating.

    You don't know us, we don't know you, (most of us don't know the rest of us) so don't get offended when people come on a little strong.

    Take it as a good thing that people are very strongly warning you to abstain, rather than just telling you that McDonald's is hiring.


    Btw, one sign that puts a lot of people off is the defense of marijuana. Nobody here cares. Some people agree with you, some don't. Some won't even touch caffeine. At the end of the day, it's still illegal, and alcohol isn't. We don't make the rules, but arguing about it does tend to come off as someone who might not be planning on abstaining.

    So take it for what it is, and don't take it personally.

    Your goal should be getting a year of safe experience under your belt. After that quite a few more doors open for you as far as getting paid more. Sometimes its not bad to go to a bigger company to get trained just do your homework on all of them. Good Luck!
     
    Goncrazzy Thanks this.

    Yup understand about getting the exp first. Don't have an issue with that. Just dont want to get screwed over in the process. At the end of the day I still have a wife and kids and bills to take care of.

    You may find a local gig in Cbus. Home every night of you are willing to drive that hour each way. Im in Cincinnati. I have never done drugs so I cant really help you on companies. I would check craigs list and see about a small mom and pop company. Thats what I did and I am very happy. Usually smaller companies wont shell out extra for hair follicle. Good luck.
