Bad for you specifically or personally. Did you have to do something to leverage it or did it judt naturally unfold to an optimal outcome?

    I got pulled over and the cop found a 1/2 gram of pot in my car (a very small amount), which ended up with me having to do community service and take regular drug tests. I was working as a line cook at the time, but being forced to stop smoking weed gave me the push to finally apply for an entry level manufacturing position at a local company who does drug tests. Years later I still work there, but as a software engineer, and attending online college. I wouldn’t quite say I’m grateful about the ass backwards drug laws and invasive drug screening, but I really can’t argue that my current situation is a lot better than it was back then. Without that event, I might still be working random entry level jobs.
