Reply to comment by Deprecitus in WA House Committee Votes to Protect Marijuana Users From Discrimination When Job Hunting by GivenAllTheFucksSry

The conversation isn't about people using drugs while working and the bill doesn't protect that behavior so you bringing it up here is not relevant. If someone smokes weed or gets drunk on a Saturday does that mean their ability to work on Monday is impeded? Why do you operate under the assumption that using the aforementioned must also include abuse and usage while working?

What other things are you advocating that employers know about our personal lives? If you have a porn addiction should your employer know? After all it could impact your work ethic and you could create problems by indulging at work.

Your opinion is that using weed is an immoral act and you are creating a post hoc justification for it that does not stand up to scrutiny. This is why you do the very typical thing of moving the discussion to be about using drugs on the job and not off the clock.

Things like this can easily bleed into work.

If I was an employer, I wouldn't want employees with a higher risk of any kind of bad behavior.

I am pro decriminalization for most drugs. Weed is fine. People should be free to do it. If it affects work, it can be a problem. That's it.

You know employers don't actually own their employees, right?
