Three years ago I lived in California and was told by a doctor that i saw that I might want to try marijuana to help me keep weight on. Yes, I know, Jerry Garcia and his muchies, lol. Anyway, at the time I was still working for a major engineering firm that required drug testing. I called HR atthe company and asked them that very question. i was told i would fail the drug test and either get fired or have to go to rehab if i failed a drug test.
Of course, within the next week i was called in to pee in a cup. I passed, as I hadn't gotten the marijuana based on trying to keep my job. Then, in the next 4 months before I quit, I got the call to be tested at least once a week. One week I got the call twice.
Since that time, I retired. I have health issues. I use marijuana. I live in Arizona and there is no medical marijuana policy here, so i break the law. I only lived in California for 7 months, for job related reasons. In spite of the fact that Arizona voters approved medical marijuana in TWO referendums, twice the governor overturned that based on the fact that federal law still holds it illegal.
So, I break the law. It helps me keep my weight up. Sometimes I just get sick thinking about food, soit really does help with that sometimes. It also seems to help with pain, but only sometimes.
The fact is, despite breaking the law, nobody bothers me. I know the cops and sherriff deputies around here, and they know I use marijuana. They know i am sick too. Most of these guys I have known since we were kids. They are really down on the meth though, they might overlook a joint or two, but let them spot someone with just a trace of meth and they will bust them in a heartbeat.
