My ex-husband had to do a drug test for his job. He told them he uses medical marijuana (he's in California) and they said it shouldn't be a problem. I was worried about what "should" means. But he clearly would have failed that part of the test and did get the job. So possibly, and I don't know, there is a (and I think valid)sliding scale on importance of some drugs over others. Plus, he might have gotten himself a pass by fessing up before the fact.

And by the way, it has been both a godsend and a destroyer in his life. His MS is in virtually complete remission (although he's also been doing some extensive chiropractic rehabilitation so it's hard to say which thing had the most impact) and he is off all pain meds, and that was a substantial amount. Also, he spends his entire life in his mancave, has no friends, no social life, no fun and will probably end up unemployed and homeless. So yeah, yin/yang.

Quite frankly, his remission might be just as due to Paris Hilton wearing a pink dress as it is to anything he did. MS is one confusion making mf'ing disease. That's my experience, anyway.

Re legal pot, everyone will get over it once they realize legal pot is to illegal pot as Miller Lite is to moonshine.
