Alright, I read through all the responses and I'm surprised nobody commented on this. I've used marijuana for less than a year, but I've had periods where I used it heavily, and periods where I didn't use it at all. But I can tell you, no matter what you're puffing, if it's weed, it won't do this to you (Unless you take a few dozen puffs, then
maybe.) I think drugs might be the scapegoat in this situation, because that's a ridiculous claim. I forgot small things, like what I need to buy at the grocery store, but I don't "high dial" people and profess my love. That's more of a very drunk thing to do. The only time I've
ever not remembered doing something was when I got pretty drunk, smoked a few bowls, and then drank some more. What I remember was a lot of fun, I was with a lot of people and I was safe, and I'd do it again.
I've gone to work high, and I do more/better work than people there that are sober. The thing that matters in these cases is your work ethic, not if you're high or not. I work at McDonalds, just for some spare spending money in college this semester, and it's not the most demanding job mentally. If I know it's going to be a busy night and we're going to get some busses, then I won't smoke. But if I know it'll be a slow night, why not? Just being there is mind-numbing, so I lighten it up a bit. Like I said, I get my work done, and I pick up the slack for the lazy sober people there.
Last summer I worked for an engineering/contracting firm in my hometown. I had to be there at 7am every morning, and I smoked pretty much every night. The smoking never impaired my work, and I never smoked so late that I'd have a residual high when I woke up. The company used me, and I did more for them than I should've, but that's over and done with.
Personally, I'm not very good at doing homework and schoolwork when I'm high, but I know some people that are. That's just a personal thing.
On the original topic, drug testing in the workplace: I think anything other than a post-injury or serious complaint drug test is an invasion of privacy.
