Well I'm not the least bit stunned.

This study should also note, that this is another factor for unemployment rates across the country. Many of these users cannot, or just will not quit. Those that do try, may still have the drugs in their system, and can't pass the test when seeking employment. So it is once again that I advocate for our legislators to decriminalize marijuana. Everyone that is informed knows why marijuana was made illegal back in 1936. It was bogus misinformation then, and still is today.

Legalize pot. Tax the crap out of it just like you do cigarettes, and booze. And make sure it is treated the same as driving under the influence, or showing up for work under the influence. There, budgets and problems solved.
