April 20 -- Galactic Goat away, substitute goating commences

Sooo… how did 4/20 become weed day? Quickly reading up on the topic, it seems it was code when I was itsy bitsy for the time of the day when teenagers met to get high.

So Happy 4/20… do you think the laws have kept up with the changes in the legality of marijuana use? I was reading our h/r policies the other day, and if you drive a company vehicle, you can be randomly drug tested. Failure is grounds for dismissal.

However, if marijuana use were legal, how could it be grounds for dismissal? We have medical marijuana use legal in CT. What if a truck driver needs it for medicinal reasons? I totally get the importance of not driving under the influence, but how does legalization impact that?

We all know I am a lightweight when it comes to any recreational substance, so perhaps I just don’t understand. I think it is worth a discussion… so have at it.
