i have, at times, thought of joining up with NORML. i guess there is still a midlands chapter. i live in richland county but work in lex. county...i'll look for the leaf logo. it irks me to see the casual smoker...the one not hurting anyone....suffering the most. i know. i lost a good job thanks to drug testing. the jokers caught me off guard, no clean pee in my posession! they wouldn't even listen to my side of the story, just terminated me. i didn't smoke on the job. i did a good job, considered myself a valuable part of a team, and had tons of ideas for improvements. that was all gone thanks to a sample of urine that tested positive for thc metabolites. the MRO treated me as if i were some sort of terrorist, the HR folks were rather snotty acting and my boss was shocked. i told the HR manager in the exit interview that i felt that two constitutional rights were violated and that the company has no right invading my privacy. he replied "policy is policy....we expect our employees to conduct themselves off the job as they would on the job." i guess he isn't referring to the alcoholics, spouse cheaters, speeders, drunk drivers, wife beaters, child abusers, etc. i think those of us that are in town around 4/20 should get together for dinner at yesterday's in five points and discuss joining NORML. just a thought!
