I had nothing to gain by staying in high school
RebelTider: In response to your rolling of the eyes, I graduated high school in the summer before my senior year. Received my degree in Business Administration from the University of Alabama in my 30's while divorced with 2 children. So chill. Just trying to tell the story without my total life history.

Well, that's impressive, I won't lie.
What made you think you needed to be married at 17?

Don't know what your profession is if you've graduated, or what your major is if you are a student.
Suppose you are working at your job, and because of an accident not caused by you, your employer has to have every employee tested for drugs in order to maintain his insurance policy. You in no way contributed to this hypothetical accident, but once you test positive for pot, your employer has no choice but to have you either submit to self-funded rehabilitation, or terminate you.
Say you are a nurse, and the narcotic count comes up short during your shift. You, being an occasional toker, always make sure that you correctly account for any narcotic you administer, but again, everyone must be tested and even though it wasn't weed that was missing, you test positive for a controlled substance. Now, the Board of Nursing will require that you undergo rehabilitation, possibly suspend your license, and definitely fine you.
In either of these "hypothetical" examples, you're basically fricked into staying at the current job because either of these examples will follow you for the rest of your professional career, and will definitely prevent advancement to a management position, unless it's daddy's company that employs you.
Think about it. You were functioning with no problem, someone else screwed up. Their screw up led to the entire immediate work force being tested. Your token tokin habit screwed you, and will continue to for the rest of your life.
Is it really worth it?
Functioning=doing what you are supposed to do.
Obviously if I was at risk of losing my job, and still smoked, then I wouldnt be functioning properly.
Thanks for the lecture though, dad.

I smoke every day, and am a fully functioning member of society. I also do not contribute to any narco-terrotistic groups like was alluded to earlier. Gotta buy local.

Rebel: Let's just say, in the late 70's to early 90's, it was a very lucrative business. Location, Location, Location. The only package store and 1st real nightclub located 1 mile from the county line of a county that has always wanted to be wet but could never get the votes. In fact, it is dry to this day. But I have to believe, nothing good ever came of either one.
