I don't believe smoking cigerrettes falls on to a general liability policy.

I carried 2million in GL insurance as required per my federal contracts. The only thing asked was for a "illegal drug use policy"

I don't know how your fitting in smokers in this.

It affects medical insurance. Cigarette smokers pay a higher premium than non smokers unless of course you get free Obamacare.

Ok.


I'm speaking as far as general liability insurance.

Me being a smoker has no bearing on my companys GL.

Health insurance, sure I can see that.

Anyone that read the article should understand you are more likely to get into an accident if you have THC in your system than if you didn't. Plus, getting high is for losers. Grow up hippie.

For some reason, you and McDad are continuously suggesting for smokers to lessen the risk against themselves as if that isn't obvious and apparent. No one wants to go to jail, no one is trying to go jail. Right now it's mostly illegal, and generally if you're doing something illegal, you should try to be smart about it and not get caught. Yep, we get it, that part was never in question. But it's not relevant in any way to whether weed should be legalized or not, nor does it excuse the countless problems that citizens have been subjected to by oppressive and unreasonable, petty laws.

I know lots of people who can't smoke because of their jobs. People like CPAs and Lawyers risk losing their license to practice if they smoke. Yeah, the guy doing sales at Telemerica can get away with it, but that guy isn't everybody.

And this shouldn't change even with legalization.

BTW I've never heard of a CPA or Lawyer being subjected to wee tests unless it's a company policy.

Of course self-employed people smoke. We're talking about everybody, and not everybody can be self-employed.

Legality and employment don't go hand in hand, but employment limitations will drastically change with legality.

If your employer doesn't care if you smoke, but you go to jail for 10 days for getting busted, your career is threatened. One way or another, legalization will make a huge difference for users and potential users. It's insanity to say otherwise.

Nope, you forget that pesky workmens comp we employers are required to carry.

The only thing high drivers might have trouble with is keeping over the minimum speed limits on the highways

Yeah, it would change. The reason lawyers can't is they have to obey the law. If it's not the law, then they can smoke. I'm not talking about employment screening, I'm talking about licensing. If a lawyer gets caught with an 1/8, he's probably done, regardless of what his employer wants. It doesn't matter if he's using responsibly/safely. It's the law, and lawyers have to obey.

That only applies to some jobs. Not everybody is using forklifts and working under hazardous conditions.

Almost all employers are required to carry workmens comp and most carriers require or give substantial discounts for having drug testing policies. If you ever get hurt at work and WMs comp is involved you will most likely be tested and good luck with your claim if you're hot.

The same loser that cannot stop talking about me in every thread. I think I've finally permanently made some fool perpetually butthurt himself.

A fat, stinky joint is every bit as American.

Workers comp is required for every job with more than 5 employees.

But it has no bearing on this conversation if you work on a call floor. There is no additional liability for having a pot-smoker in the work place if you just make outbound calls.

Doesn't matter, all of my office employees are subject to randoms just as my non CDL techs. Why? Workmens comp requirements.

Honest question. Is it a WC requirement because it is an illegal drug or because of the effects weed has? I'm not sure if you know but it would be interesting to see the verbiage there.

Also, this goes back to one of the first things that I said in this thread. Problem solved if you have a way to test whether there is active THC in the system or if there is only the residual that stays for a month. No more randoms testing for pot because you could find out if a person was high during the accident, not 8 days before or whatever
