Yeah those are all good ones; actually I've had smokin friends that've done some of those jobs : Short order cook, got blazed all the time but also did lots of speed with it so... Painter, that's the guy that got busted for growing pot in his backyard, blaze on man. Night Chauffer, ended up doing coke while working and kept going to the bathroom until he couldn't drive and had to tell the fare he was high; should've stuck to weed. Though, I remember driving taxis in Boulder and sometimes those kids would stone me and I couldn't do shit afterwards, like try to find addresses and drive at night, crazy!
...anything, really, as long as you can find an office/company/whatever that doesn't drug test. My husband works at a concrete plant. He drives a huge loader all day long, and often times, he's stoned at work. The truck drivers, when they're at the plant waiting for their next load, some of them will hop up onto the loader and smoke him up while he's driving/loading trucks, etc. Doesn't make any difference to how well he drives (if it did, he, as well as the truck drivers, wouldn't do it at work) and the company doesn't drug test. I worked there for a while, doing all kinds of bitch-work. I swear, if I could find a job where I could just shovel stuff all day long, I would be in heaven. ("What're you doing?" "Moving this pile... 3ft. to the left." "That's ridiculous." "Go away, you fucked up my song.") Unfortunately, people aren't quite as eager to hire females to do stuff like that, haha. My roommate cooks fast-food all day, but he likes to see it as "killing fatties all day long", haha. Another friend is a foreman at a building supply company, another is a cook at some big, ridiculous-expensive restaurant in Calgary (he only visits for Christmas and Summer, now, but still..). A lot of the guys that I hang out with most of the time work at the sawmills, because that's a huge thing for work around here. Some work in mines, other construction, arts, theatre, music, cooking, teaching - hell, the art and shop teachers at the high school here are all smokers (I know because I was one of the few students that they trusted enough to smoke up with in high school, haha). Yep, all kinds of people do it, and there's always a way around drug testing - like I said, finding a company that doesn't test... or, like my dad and some of the other older dudes that I know, being so good at what you do that they make sure your name never comes up for "random drug testing" because the company can't afford to lose them, haha.
I don't think it has as much to do with how pot affects an employee as much as they associate it with hard drug use and thus crime like theft. Someone told me that when they went to wash windows they would pop in and steal jewelry and stuff from them; now the carpet cleaners and such advertise they drug test on tv because people are scared. Everyone I meet around here that smoke also do harder drugs and I don't know how the support the lifestyle on what they make.
and when they talk about drug busts on tv they alway mention the pot along w' the coke and meth and stuff, like they are equal. It was on the news last night, they rounded up a bunch of dealers and said the found coke, pot, and speed, so there it is.
politician? my girlfriends bro' couldn't even pull off his ocean spray job smoking on the weekend, I can't imagine any big brain work on it. I couldn't smoke all thru college. I think that homecare worker is ideal, especially like this one girl she watched some handicapped people, just watched tv and kept the peace, I like the idea of that a lot.
Pizza Delivery is the best stoner job ever. Not only can you deliver pizza, but you can hook the green up too. Walk out with mad cash, plus, you eat all the cancelled orders at work. But I could do a lot of jobs high, I could change oil all god damn day while high. Plenty of other shit too.
Believe it or not there are people in politics who smoke, there are doctors, lawyers, even judges, police officers, real estate agents, CEO's, Vice Presidents of multinational corporations, activists, social workers, teachers, fire fighters, artists, musicians, authors, people who work in the media, advertisers, parents, students, drug dealers, priests, rabbis, and people of all different walks of life who smoke herb and maintain professional jobs. 11 million Americans smoke pot recreationally and they are the ones that admit it in government polls. And there are people like me who wouldn't dare to admit it in a poll yet burn the house down daily.
well i'm going to be working at the bowling alley shortly.... they didn't test me and i doubt they will.... perfect job for a stoner.... you don't have to move from the shoe counter, and there's music and a restaurant right there...haha actually it's a pretty lame job, but it pays for my smoke
haha about the politics thing, look at jerry brown...... he's is the biggest politician druggie that i've ever heard of..... my mom's boyfriend's parents (yeah, complicated i know) threw a party for his election in the late 70's (or early 80's) i forget which, and supposedly he was doing shrooms and weed and i've heard he did a lot more than that.....
You just gave me an idea on a new sick and twisted game show. They train a bunch of stoners for a month on how to disable a bomb, then they put them in small rooms and fill it full of the most potent marijauna smoke, drop a bomb inside and watch them try to disable it.
Many of you already know this, but I worked at a headshop/pornshop for a while......until I was fired for actually being too fucked up to properly sell bongs. Go figure. So, I guess the answer to the thread title should be "It depends on how stoned you are".
Well i think its safe to say that you cannot be a brain surgeon.... i think you would mess up too many times.. According to Grandmas boy, you can be a video game tester.. but not an accountant..
