When you call in "sick" 20% of the time you are less likely to die at work.

Have we seen corresponding increases in absenteeism and decreases in productivity? That would be the root cause, less work done in fewer hours at the job.

People that smoke weed don't have to call out of work sick, because it doesn't make you sick like alcohol does.. Jesus.

And here we go..Studies show that workers who work in states where Marijuana is legal use less sick days

Correlation does not equal causation.

No it doesn't, but the numbers are still there.

However it also depends on what kind of industry's these states have.

Take Texas for example which is a petrochemical industrial state (Especially Houston), very VERY dangerous industry to work in if you're not careful or don't know what the hell you're doing. Who knows what the hell would happen if marijuana was legalized here.

As far as marijuana use causing people to call out of work, that's just bullcrap. You're not hungover the next morning after smoking a joint. There's a crap load more people calling out sick with the "brown bottle flu".

Yeah, because people who smoke joints don't ever drink.

From your own link...

“Although there is not a direct identification of those who use marijuana for medical purposes in the data, overall sickness absence is reduced for those in age and gender groups most likely to be cardholders,” Ulman wrote.

Ulmon was hesitant to claim clear causality, recognizing that research regarding cannabis laws’ effects on productivity and the labor market are limited. “Given the lack of prior studies, more research is warranted in this area.”

Will this research result in the administrators supplying the sweet stinky of extremely high potency? If so I'm in. Where do I sign up? I'm tired of paying for it and my grows have proved unsuccessful. The green thumb alludes me.

Yes, it goes back to HandsomeRob's post where he said "Correlation does not equal causation".

Which I agreed with.

But here's the thing.. the numbers ARE STILL DOWN. If marijuana use during people's off time turned them into lazy zombies like people here are trying to imply. (One poster even said a 20% higher rate at calling out for pot smokers) Then the absentee statistics would reflect the increase in call outs since the legalization of marijuana use in these states...and they're not.

Had nothing to do with Sarcasm.. had to do with your post linking pot and alcohol together like they exclusively go hand in hand across the board.

First off, I never said or even implied that pot and alcohol "go hand in hand." You implied their use was mutually exclusive.

Secondly, "whoosh" is generally used to denote someone who failed to recognize sarcasm.

Whoosh can be used in multiple ways.

And I never implied that drinking and pot smoking was mutually exclusive.. There's always going to be a crossover with everything. However the drinking crowd and pot smoking crowd are two different groups on the big scheme of things and they have two entirely different D.O.C. preferences.
