a stranger request that i suppose goes here

[Wyld Cannon 0]

In the name of research, suppose I was looking to procure some sort of harmless recreational substance. I used to use such a substance back in the day, and I said "like hey. . . .man" alot. Haven't used it in awhile, but I was thinking about picking some up.

 

The thing is, I don't anywho who works in that trade anymore. I don't want anyone I know to know, because I work with most of my friends and my gf is against it and whatever.

 

So the real question I pose: Is there a way to find someone in this field on this new fangled intraweb? Locally would be best. I would think the internet would really help this line of work out, but then again maybe there is too much risk involved.

 

either that or a retailer on the web, but I would think having it mailed is more dangerous.

 

Any ideas?

You want to buy weed online?

 

Even I, as someone who never smoked can attest: Always know your dealer.

Wyld Cannon's a NARC!

[Guest Legalise Drugs and Murder]

If he's not, there's all manner of cops scanning the internet, so he'd better be careful. Were I to undergo something this dumb, I'd suggest meeting someone on craigslist for a thoroughly different purpose that would lend itself to attracting a pothead. Try finding members for a reggae group, or solicit gay men. Every gay dude I've ever known smoked dope, or at least knew where to get it.

I'm impressed that not only is it a stranger request, he is also requesting a stranger.

Can't you just find some affluent but sketchy high school kid?

[Guest Dirty Killingsocks]

yes, i can.

Where would I find some affluent sketchy high school kid?? THat would just turn out to be some bizarro anti drug commercial.

 

"Hey kid! Hey, c'mere. Lookin' to have a good time this weekend? Well you know what you need to have a good time right? MONEY. Wanna sell me something?"

 

I wish I could just call Samson for a delivery. I never should've moved to New Hampshire. Well that's bit extreme it's really not a big deal.

Dude, Canada's right there. Just get off your duff and make it happen.

Look for some guy from another country working at a hotel or resort. Remember to ask for Leon, he has the good stuff.

[Guest "Go, Mordecai!"]

I think there's a bar around here that sells it outside behind the building.

Keeping it secret from the gf is never a good idea. Soon enough you'll be answering all the questions about why there's so many cereal boxes laying around and why your Tivo is always programmed to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

If you got college bars near you, hit them up.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Yeah best suggestion is to take some time to just meet some people, and if your friends will judge you because you want to smoke bud, sorry, they're not really your friends. And fuck what people at work think. If you come in to work bright-eyed and kickin ass, it doesn't matter what you do in your personal life.

 

That last sentence is actually quoted from a manager of mine, after he walked into the after-work Halloween party we had at my GM's house. That was a good store to work at.

Obviously Vitamin X has never worked for a real company before as if I went up to my director and just started telling her about the great dime bag I had last night, I don't think she'd be to thrilled.

 

As a matter of fact I think I'd be heading at least down to HR for a form to have my urine sample taken for free.

[Wyld Cannon 0]

Yes, my large corporation would not take kindly to slow production and incessant giggling.

 

The thing is I don't want to make a bunch of stoner friends. I don't want to sit around and wax poetic for hours on inanity. I just want to do it by myself and play videogames. I only ever spend 1 or 2 nights a week alone in my apartment and it would be nice to revisit that one aspect i miss about the habit (the videogames). And taking long walks. I always used to enjoy that. Again, something I'd want to do alone without someone droning on in a stream of consciousness rant. I have a girlfriend for that shit.

He never walked up to the guy and said that (like smokers even say things like "dude, I had this great dime bag last night" in the first place), it's more of a "if you're doing your job well we don't care" statement on the part of the manager. Unless you work for a company that does weekly drug tests or something like that, it's probably the unspoken policy everywhere.

 

And also, would you be more accepting of an alcoholic simply because it's legal?

I'll reiterate. In most major companies if your manager were to find out you are doing drugs, you will probably get tested no matter how good your work is. Why?

 

Liability.

[The Man in Blak 0]

Wouldn't liability only enter the picture if a person was working while they were drunk/high? The company that I work for strictly outlaws working under the influence, as well as partaking during company activities (alcohol at a corporate sponsored event is an exception), but there's no verbiage pertaining to recreational use outside of work.

[MrRant 0]

Most companies drug test immediately after an accident due to OSHA/state laws. Even if you aren't high at the time, but have traces, it could deny you any claims or if you were to hurt someone else (say you accidentally knocked down a ladder) and the company was aware that you smoked and you tested positive, there could be a lawsuit after all, who is to say when someone is no longer being affected?

 

The other thing a company would worry about is even if the person only used drugs on their off time (let's say it's Meth as that is the glam one now), what is to stop someone from selling company data/ripping off the company. Again, we are supposing that the management knows of said drug use and allows it to continue without some form of discipline, hence the trip down to HR.

 

I personally don't care what people do on their off time. I have no problem with people smoking pot (except pot heads), but they shouldn't advertise it and a manager should discourage it. Plus MIB, I'm sure that if your work found out you were shooting heroin up on the weekends, they would terminate you. The beauty of a at will employment.

It would be curious to see if such a suit would hold up, since such a contention would be completely based on conjecture.

 

I wasn't familiar with the OSHA/state mandates on testing after accidents, though, so I suppose it would truly depend on where you worked. As I stated earlier, there's no explicit policy for substance abuse outside of work in my company's code of business conduct and the only drug test I've ever had to take at this current job was when I was initially hired, three years ago.

 

Of course, I work in an IT shop for a telecommunications company, so it's not like I'm operating heavy machinery or anything.

And terminating somebody based upon mere suspicion could possibly earn an employer an lawsuit in return, for unjustified termination.

 

That being said, advertising that you were using during your spare time to a superior would probably be sufficient grounds for "unprofessional conduct" and I'm sure that many managers wouldn't have any hesitation putting you on a performance improvement plan as a response. I would think that outright termination might be a stretch, though, even for at-will employees.

 

Plus MIB, I'm sure that if your work found out you were shooting heroin up on the weekends, they would terminate you. The beauty of a at will employment.

As long as I wear long-sleeved shirts to work, they'll never see the scars.

I dig how my strange request has chinese-telephoned into a human resources seminar.

[MrRant 0]

I agree. I'm giving you the possibilities. Especially if there is sensitive data at risk, such as credit card numbers etc. Again, unfortunately we would have to break down each individual drug, it's side effect, and the risks one would take to obtain it if not having cash for example. It would be an endless circle as there are some "eh" and some "holy shit, you're fired" drugs.

 

I've never been drug tested except when hired 5 years ago either, but when someone hurts themselves at work they have to submit to a drug test if they report it. It was that way before and that way after we went self insured as there is an effect on the companies insurance rates.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I'd like to point out I work in a bookstore, not a real job. Thus, such things are acceptable since it doesn't take an incredible amount of comprehension to shelve books and give good customer service. Easy, college job. Nothing serious.

 

However I did work for a major telecommunications company before and yeah, the same thing that MiB pointed out went. The incident I described above happened at during a Halloween party my work had with most of my coworkers there. A few of us were smoking there, particularly me with one of my supervisors, and then that was one of the managers who walked in and said what he did. Obviously if it was at a more corporate level there'd be an issue and I don't even think the party would even take place since it would have something to do with some kind of company policy about managers/supervisors fraternizing with their underlings. I never said the rules weren't in place, it's just some people care and some don't.

 

That was actually the last time I had any ganja on my part, as a matter of fact, and even when I smoked more regularly, I never came into work high. Although I will mention that, considering my career path doesn't necessarily entail working for a large corporation (which I detest anyhow), it doesn't matter to me or who I'm working for whether I am or not.

The place I work at is employed primarily by 20something dropouts or carnies that get stoned on break and come back in to drive around machinery that weigh as much as an empty semi. A machine wreck results in a swab test that is about 75% accurate up to 18 hours.
