Just don't rub it on your head. You'll be fine.

This can go on all day. Pretty sure there have been some tragic marine accidents too involving huge loss of life and alcohol. The idea that one can use alcohol "responsibly" but not pot is ridiculous.
I'd say pointing to transportation workers who suffer from alcoholism will gain little public sympathy in the effort to raise marijuana testing thresholds as presently mandated. But if anyone is busy drafting bill language, we all know in what color the regs are written. Nobody 'walks back' a failed test. If you think I like discussing this, you couldn't be more wrong. I hate it.

I have read this addiction resource that proves weed is addictive
id suggest that most people who use marijuana use alcohol and/or tobacco first. Perhaps those are the scary gateway drugs.

or we could just accept some personal responsibility and let people do harmless things.

Lonely a scare crow's life.
Strawman is a tired broadside cried out by those incapable of defending a position, should they adopt one, directly. Is social studies a class anymore? Risk is someone's prediction, possibly expressed in a matrix, of a hazard actually causing harm. The hazard in question is substance abuse. A risk jumps when its window of opportunity is cranked open. Creating uncertain passageways for the vulnerable along side a society's growing invitation to use. Most workers get stoned seldom or never. Some are bound to fall in hard over. Just how it goes. Such people can be very adept at fooling themselves, and others. Different jobs, different boundaries. Since we're talking commercial transport, it's imperative to keep those few out of harm's way. As far away as reasonably achievable. Which is the hard part, to me. If you've a stronger versus status quo plan, let's hear it.

Stay in the fight young'uns. Miles to go before you sleep.

I'm guessing you're a gOOfff spitting misleading phlegm better suited to someone else's family, friends and country. No thanks.
