In order of importance, NO SYMPATHY for Ricky Gates--nor any wish to see drug rules for critical functions relaxed (medical, fire, police, transport etc. That said Ricky was on more than a couple joints IIRC; conversely I clearly remember ann evening when I was a couple joints to the wing and pulled over asking someone else to take the wheel. That said, I also clearly remember an evening in college (505 years ago) when I went out to the station to meet the one passenger train which stopped in town--a regular behavior on my part as a study break. When I enquired about the third crew member who was not in sight I was told he was so drunk when they started the run in Chicago that they put him to bed in an empty roomette for the ride to the next division point where they would change out. The fact is that while 'Rule G'has been in every RR rule book for overa centuiry, it was often ignored sometimes with the connivance of supervision.Now, as to minor drug busts and jb ineligibility, one hotel/restaurant chain used to take hair samples as part of the employment process. In my view, what you consume onyour own time is none of theirbusiness unlass it degrades your work behavior. If it does, you should be admonished or disciplined for the poor performance.full stop The fact that you smoked several joints at a concert on a night off is no more relevant than your ordering drinks at a bar while hearing music. We have comp[eting agitation to abolish or enhance requirement of past criminal records in employment application procedures. One side says, did the time, released, start from zero, not negativexxx. The other says once a perp, likely forever a perp, get out. The straw man case is the pedophile applying to be a childcare worker--NO. OTOH, having been popped for just enough grass to do a short sentence should not bar you from being a stock clerk, sales associate, etc. As to "cuddly victims" in my view grass is like alcohol--you know how smart prohibition was, right? OTOH, addiction to stupid drugs is just that, stupid IMHO. And that despite my liking of Keith R, Jerry G, Janis, and many others. The good news is that Keith cleaned up unlike many who dind't and are dead. About what's legal and respecting "the law." Given legal repression of persons on account of race creed, national origin, respect for law is something the law must 'earn' not automatic. |
