Pot doesn’t affect everyone the same way. It always made me feel sort of stupid, which I didn’t mind if I was just hanging around the house and going to sleep soon enough. And pot varies.

It wasn’t ever enticing enough for me that I’d want to lose a job over it or anything, after drug testing became pretty routine. One of the results of drug testing laws is that if an employee is drug tested after an on the job accident, the employer is usually not held responsible, or at least the employee can be held equally responsible, depending on State law. I don’t know how the legalization of pot in CO & WA states, for instance, would affect testing on the job, since it would not be consider an illegal substance yet stays in the bloodstream.

“Jumping to his death” That is something an “upper” is known for.

Visual disturbances that caused him to think the ground was closer than it was?

Being giddy enough to “just do it”?

Pot in a dosage that makes one unable drive legally can definitely make one stupid “drunk”.

Suicidal? I just never heard of such an experience. I’d pass out first.

I guess it depends on his experience with the drug.
