How would the legalization of marijuana affect employment requirements? Could a company still discriminate against anyone who has consumed marijuana while letting people who drink work?

Also, could people still stop referring to functional alcoholics as being solely wife beaters and child beaters please. There's plenty of functional alcoholics who don't do those things.

The other thing, unless you're missing work from hang overs or coming to work drunk, is that no employer cares about alcohol while they test for marijuana and will either not hire you or fire you on the spot, even in states with legal marijuana.

Radbot posted:It's not really comparable, seeing as how alcohol doesn't have a special sales tax in any state I'm aware of, and considering that nothing is stopping states from levying additional taxes on producers even if this sales tax passes. http://taxfoundation.org/article/state-sales-gasoline-cigarette-and-alcohol-tax-rates-state-2000-2010 Every state has taxes on alcohol, usually split up into spirits, wine, and beer. They even have them in states where the liquor stores are state-owned, like Pennsylvania.

It's always been legislated against prior to the schedule system so it's probably just from that. Now why it was banned in the first place is because Mexicans and Black people used it.

Hell in Alaska you can still have up to 24 marijuana plants in your home, which was upheld as part of privacy. Glad to see them go done the legalization route.

Install Windows posted:Diamonds can literally be produced anywhere, but the jewelry business has a vested interest in denigrating man made diamonds to maintain their profits taken from mining regular ones from minimal law areas. Calling the DeBeers cartel 'the jewelry business' is a bad attempt to legitimize what it is, a cartel built on exploitation.

Install Windows posted:The jewelry business as a whole is complicit in refusing to support man made diamonds at all, and thus helping to sustain DeBeers. You're ignoring how much De Beers controls the industry to the very concept of diamonds being valuable in today's world and common for engagement.

Flaky posted:and everybody loves to (rightly) demonise smokers You can get bent with that kind of attitude. I do love the complete hypocrisy that people approach nicotine addiction, even compared to the other great legal and profitable social ill that is alcohol. If Australians want to make some money off of some cancer, why not tax the waste of space and CO2 behemoth mining companies like the "Sterilize the Aboriginals" spawn Gina Rinehart instead of getting off of taxing addicts?
