[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 700571, member: 1963"] OK. I have a vague idea that weed is a whole lot more $$$ than it was when I was smoking it, as well as being a whole lot stronger and various strains bred for different effects. I also may not be able to get my head around how MUCH he may be smoking as i was never a heavy nor daily user. I think though, that like me, your son has some serious executive function issues going on, which weed doesn't help at all. There's certainly some planning issues and a need for distraction (I think part of the not being able to be alone is partly this.), and I think some "effort avoidance" stuff as well, which probably plays a role in the job issues. Not to mention drug tests. And some companies are getting real anal. Gov't contractors were already obnoxious in the 70s, either not making allowances for weed staying in your system for up to 60 days and not being willing to test for dropping levels, or not accepting certain drugs even if you had proof that they were prescribed and they were present in therapeutic levels that matched your RX. So, with the weed use and the prevalence of drug testing, he's got a real issue with drug testing unless he can pick up that job at the pizza place, and there there's the risk of an OWI if he's pulled over and has THC in his system because the cops don't test properly, either. And would he be willing to work for a place that tested? Meaning giving up weed, in order to have a decent job, an apartment, and a vehicle, and maybe even a secure future? I've been tested for work for so many years, especially as a military contractor for so many years, and privately as well, and yes, I've been turned down for jobs due to having even trace amounts of prescribed benzos in my system [/QUOTE]
