The thing is, many employers (like mine) won't allow it and test. You don't want your career choices dictated by weed. Phil Jackson and his 11 NBA titles laugh at fuckwads like 43-8 who demonize weed and make it sound like you can't perform if you smoke dope. That's bullsh!t, just like most of his posts - but it won't help you get or hold a job, either. I'm pretty sure that prior to winning 4 or 5 championships, Jackson wouldn't have talked about smoking weed, either, because employers frown on that sh!t, and that's a good enough reason not to do it."

Yeah because we know the exception makes the rule and Nate and Phil are comparable? How many high performers do you know that toke a gram a day? That's what I thought , You make my point very well Napoleon. Nothing wrong with weed or a drink if the rest of your life is healthy .


I've never found it to be the exception, I've found it to be the rule. High performers perform whether they smoke weed or not.

Weed isn't the deciding factor. Weed is the excuse used when low-performers have to blame something.

I know a few high-performing weed-smokers. I've never been able to identify smoking weed as a determining factor in someone's success. Perhaps you do - but I bet some high-performers you know smoke weed and you're just unaware of it.

In any case, I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Nate, so go find a match and a gas can and...................well, you know.
