Gov. Stitt declares Oklahoma special election for recreational marijuana vote

Several years ago, I was visiting a mine and plant we had in Green River, WY. Driving past the local Walmart, I noticed their sign, “We are hiring, no drug test required”.

If I ever get some forms of cancer, I’d smoke pot to dull some pain and increase appetite. That’s about the only reason, just making it legal, no thanks.

The question on the form is pretty simple. You either answer it truthfully or you don’t. The question of whether or not it should be on the form is a separate issue.
Let me ask this question. If you owned a business and you had 2 applicants of equal skills, 1 smokes dope and 1 doesn’t. Would you consider that in your hiring choice?

I was service manager for a company and the boss asked myself and the sales manager if he should start drug testing. I told him we would lose my best 3 techs including myself. I was smoking at the time. I looked over at the sales manager and he reluctantly said he’d lose him also. Lol

My old company owner in a staff meeting when we had to start drug testing for a Federal contract;
"If I fire all the stoners, who is going to do the hard dirty work? The pot smokers are the only ones who work without drama"

I managed very large workforces for many years. Attendance was one of my pet peeves. As a general rule, those who drank alcohol and smoked weed had worse attendance and work performance. I agree both can be used in moderation without a problem. Of course those outside the norm on either poor performance or attendance had other issues as well. I am in favor of both drug testing and a polygraph prior to hiring. I realize in todays world I wouldn’t get many applicants. Good thing I’m retired I guess.

A polygraph?! What kind of things would you ask?

A polygraph?! What kind of things would you ask?

Several things.
Have you ever stolen from an employer?
Do you or have you used illegal drugs?
Is everything on your application true and accurate?
Have you ever quit a job after being told you were being terminated?
Many of the same questions you would ask in a job interview.
It used to be a lot more common to have to take a polygraph test prior to employment. Many places now just hire warm bodies.

Better be a seriously high paying and very important position. I would seriously laugh my ass off if someone said they wanted a polygraph. Would you like them to wear a tracking device too?
