    Can employers stop drug testing for THC at this point ? Itโ€™s such a contradiction and hypocritical!



  5. @Indie_Myke on December 11, 2023 at 6:16 pm

    weed is a killer; it should go back to being outlawed outright /s

    Let the bureaucrats shuffle papers for a few more years before it’s finally available- that’s what they’re best at.

    As if the world we live in needs this extra baggage. Marijuana is a drug no matter how much people try to water down the truth. There lots of problems that come with marijuana usage and more teenagers and younger peopke will habe more acess to ut eveb uf they are not buying it themselves.
