Is it good that the Canadian military is cracking down on cannabis?

[Cuauhtemoc]

One of the stupidest military moves of all time. Hey guys let's invade that piece of ice.

There was a time when Canadians were considered tough, but now Canada is known for frequent apologizing and virtue signalling. Sad.

He’s a national embarrassment we know

No but just because something is a substance doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be allowed to take it while working. Can you still perform to an acceptable standard? Then it should be allowed.

Testing for marijuana is common in many professions. Truck driving, for example.

Whether you agree that it should be tested or not in general is one thing, but I don't see why the military doing the same thing should be considered weird.

 

[Soul Crusher]

Lol when were Canadians ever considered though. You guys are like 33% French.

When we were kicking your asses

Who cares? If you are dumb enough to join the military that's your own fault.

If anything, it should be 48 hours.

That's fine if you're sitting behind a desk, not when you're issued a gun and sent out to who-knows where.

 

[Andy Capp]

As I said I don't know. But it all comes down to the fact it's very hard for them to tell when you had it and how much.

It is this aspect of DUI enforcement I am concerned about when it comes to weed (leaving the military aside for a moment and speaking of civilians). They can measure the amount of weed in your system, but at lower amounts, how is that any way to judge if you are impaired or not?

the canadian military has worst problems then fucking canabis. How about fucking increasing your defense spending .

Canadians got the best French though. You know, the ones with enough sense to leave France.

Stop picking on our fellow Canadians


You really don't want to make us... apologize!

Since you consider it reasonable, are there other jobs you would like to see month long bans of smoking marijuana with threat of charges?

I would like to see these rules apply to all government employees.

If it were my tax dollars paying their salary, I would appreciate a guarantee that the employees perform to their full potential.
