It stays in your system for days. Therefore anyone smoking it in your opinion should all then have their driving licenses taken away as they will all be driving with it in their system.
How long does it take for the effects to wear off?
Weed's short-term effects start to taper off after one to three hours. Some effects, like memory problems or trouble sleeping, can last a few days.
Researchers don’t know how long the effects of chronic use last. Long-term effects can last days, weeks, or months after weed use has ended. Some effects may be permanent.
How can anyone possibly want people stoner driving high all the time, etc.
I know teachers who go for a drink at lunchtime where they'll have a couple of glasses of wine. Does that mean they should be sacked?

Someone's experience smoking a spliff once every 6 months will be vastly different.
I never said you do.Lol, it's weed . You don't wind up hurting or killing people because you've just smoked a spliff.
Same for any other medication that might impair your abilities. You know, the ones that say things like 'don't operate heavy machinery'?What if he uses it for Anxiety and it helped him cope and be a part of society by working?
I think a lot of people who have only seen people acting high on TV or have tried it once in their life struggle to understand that. If you have any form of tolerance towards it, the effects it has on you dealing with day to day life is minor... bar short term memory. My short term memory is awful sometimes, often forget what I am watching once the adverts hit.
Hell, I failed my first driving test and the night before I decided not to smoke. The time I smoked the night before my test I passed with 1 minor.

I know someone who has drunk driven for 15+ years. he's only had 3 accidents. so out of the 1000+ times he has driven drunk he has been fine for the majority of them.
Just to recap:While I completely agree he shouldn't be smoking it at work, it's only weed jeez.
That's not something you get to decide though, especially together with all the other things mentioned. You're being paid to meet someone else's standards and to take responsibility for someone else's life.I agree with most of what you say but having bloodshot eyes and avoiding conversation are hardly that bad. I like to be left alone on my lunch breaks

This guy is well below standards - The reason is not important, at this point. He has failed himself and others, and should be removed from that role.
My other half works as a live-in careworker looking after children. It's a small company, heirarchy is
Owner>area manager>house managers.
In the particular house she works in the children are a little older and mature (15 and 16 iirc) but there should always be 2 members of staff on site with 2 children.
A fairly new member of staff has had some weird behaviour, work really sloppy, disappearing off at will to go and get himself a takeaway etc.
Constantly going for smoke breaks, eats a couple of mouthfuls of food at meal time then bins the rest. quite a few other bits as well but nothing significant.
Last night, my partner said she could smell weed on him, and he went out to his car for a smoke and when he came back in the smell was even stronger, his eyes were all bloodshot and he avoided conversation with her, he made his excuses, grabbed a drink and some snacks and went to bed for the night, but the smell was so strong that it remained in the kitchen for a while after he left.
She immediately contacted her manager (who was at home at the time), who in turn has contacted the area manager.
They have pretty much said that they aren't going to act on it because
- it will be her word against his
- a drug test wouldn't prove he was doing it on shift (WTF), he could have done it in his own time, he might have done it in his own time and the smell was in his car then when he sat in it on his break it then transferred to his clothes without him actually smoking it.
- he might turn it around as her being racist (again WTF)
I am now self employed but at my last place of work, they did random drugs tests, and regardless of when they were taken if you had drugs in your system it would be instant dismissal.
Further by their logic, he could have walked to work smoking a joint (or drinking etc) and stubbed it out before starting shift and that would be ok ??
I am shocked to see that company that is supposed to be caring for children doesn't take something like this extremely seriously.
She doesn't know what to do as it seems they are brushing this under the carpet now.
fwiw she gets on with her manager, their is no bad blood between them.
