On one hand, I personally don't care what people do in their personal lives and/or in their homes.  If someone wants to smoke a joint to relax after a day of work or while socializing on the weekends, I don't see any problem with that.

On the other hand, I have heard of and seen cases where people are smoking marijuana while on break at work.  This includes places where dangerous machinery is used and regardless of my personal opinion of marijuana use, a person should not be operating machinery, driving, etc. while impaired... especially on the job.

To go along with that, at the place that I work at we handle classified information and have to have a security clearance.  A person that can't pass a drug test displays poor judgement and therefor cannot hold a security clearance.

It's case by case really. I am honeslty probably high somewhere around 90% of every waking minute of my life and 2 years in a row with my current company I ranked #1 in the entire northeast.

I drive with no issue, I go to the gym, I play sports and video games. There are no Ill effects besides some cotton mouth. 

I honestly don't think I would be as productive without using it. 

On the flip side, I know people who use marijuana and then 15 minutes later you're hanging out with the equivalent of a bag of sand. 

My philosophy when it comes to using while working... As long as it isn't negatively impacting your work, or putting the company at risk, I don't care what you do as long as you show up on time and can perform your duties.
