Well…it is expensive, but fortunately I meet the insurance deductible by June 
every year due to wife and kids getting allergy shots.  After that the 
prescription copay is not so bad.  I skip the meds every weekend so I won’t 
build tolerance, and it lets me build my own secret reserve for times when 
availability is an issue.  I can’t say I ever felt like doing anything crazy or 
butchering anyone.

And yeah, I’m glad I don’t have any severe allergies.  The shots are a couple 
hundred bucks every week and then like 800 every 6 weeks or so when they get a 
new serum made.  And they need that for several years to make the effects 
permanent.

Id love to be on ADHD meds, but that prescription availability/price is a crazy 
risk. Folks find themselves doing wildly insane things when their meds suddenly 
cant be refilled, like butchering their family.

As for the prescribed pot BS, I have found that most of the people with a 
medical card didnt get it from their primary physician, they went to a mill doc 
and got the bought card. They have all kinds of reasons why they cant use the 
non intoxicating variants. Truth is theyre simply potheads with a get out of

terminate their employment. Most of these types, its not hard to find a reason 
thats not related to their dependence on a weed.

OK, looking at it another way. Some people need meds to be normal. My son has a 
prescription for lisdexamfetamine because he has ADHD. He's not impaired, and 
it's not like he's a meth head.

That said, I can see a problem if your employee wants to smoke a joint in the 
workplace. Bigtime secondhand smoke problem. And if you don't want him 
operating machinery or vehicles, your insurance company would probably agree.

Re: [AFMUG] Pot

2024-05-06 Thread dmmoffett
What the doctor told me was if the drug was classified as a controlled 
substance (which amphetamines are, including lisdexamphetamine/Vyvanse) then 
there’s a quota applied to geographic areas.  The distributors are only allowed 
to sell x amount in a given region, and they parse the quota out to the 
different pharmacies.  Apparently this was some change implemented to combat 
opioid abuse.  He suggested try a rural pharmacy because they’re less likely to 
use up their quota.  So far that has worked out for me.  

 

If you were popping opioids it’s probably harder to maintain that habit now, 
but everyone who was using their pills as prescribed is collateral damage.

he has a pot card for anxiety.  I have a card in my pocket

employer would be OK with me sucking a flask while working.

I know certain prescription conventional drugs can make you
not safe to operate equipment.  But this guy had to operate
equipment as part of his job.  I would make an accommodation
for someone that had pain meds temporarily that left them a

survival adaptation which happens to not always fit well into the structures of 
our modern life.  A study in Kenya compared a nomadic population with a settled 
one.  The genes responsible are well known, so they could identify who in each 
population had them and compare their outcomes.  Among the settled population 
the kids with ADHD genes had worse grades in school, and the adults were less 
well nourished.  Among the hunter-gatherer nomads, the people with ADHD genes 
were more well nourished.

OK, looking at it another way. Some people need meds to be normal. My son has a 
prescription for lisdexamfetamine because he has ADHD. He's not impaired, and 
it's not like he's a meth head.

That said, I can see a problem if your employee wants to smoke a joint in the 
workplace. Bigtime secondhand smoke problem. And if you don't want him 
operating machinery or vehicles, your insurance company would probably agree.

Has he asked to bring his emotional support alligator to work yet?

OK, looking at it another way. Some people need meds to be normal. My son has a 
prescription for lisdexamfetamine because he has ADHD. He's not impaired, and 
it's not like he's a meth head.

That said, I can see a problem if your employee wants to smoke a joint in the

OK, looking at it another way. Some people need meds to be normal. My son has a 
prescription for lisdexamfetamine because he has ADHD. He's not impaired, and 
it's not like he's a meth head.That said, I can see a problem if your employee 
wants to smoke a joint in the workplace. Bigtime secondhand smoke problem. And 
if you don't want him operating machinery or vehicles, your insurance company 
would probably agree.Has he asked to bring his emotional support alligator to 
work yet? Original Message From: "Jan-GAMs" Sent: 5/3/2024 2:20:33

Pot is legal in CA, but it's treated like alcohol. You can get a DUI for 
pot just as easily as for booze. I would treat it the same as alcohol, 
permission slip or not.


There used to be an issue for pot in that it will stay in your 
bloodstream for quite a while; not sure how long but I seem to recall 
about a month. I have no idea if they've figured out how to deal with that.

This guy was MAX drama too.  One thing I tell everyone when I hire

Just like you cant operate heavy equipment while impaired, you cant use pot.
If they can manage to "not be impaired", then the water gets murky.

Note: I am in TX where it is still illegal so my opinion is likely not valid.
