The group, returning home after a vacation in Thailand, had Kush — a potent strain of cannabis — hidden in their luggage, officials said.

        unlike caffeine or Tylenol, nicotine, etc, it doesn’t boost productivity, so the oligarchs don’t want you on it at work.

          Alcohol is legal, and it is not acceptable to be drunk at work.
          Weed being legal similarly doesn’t mean it has to be acceptable to be high at work.

            I’ve been to many dinner business meetings with plenty of drinking. To the point that rides are needed to get people home.

                My point is that it’s “normal” to have a drink or two at a business meeting. So it is completely acceptable to drink at work, you just have to have the right job I guess.

                  That’s an outlier. For the vast majority of jobs, drinking during a meeting will get you disciplinary action.

            there’s a reason I left it off.

            but it also kind of depends on where you work. I’ve known plenty of “functioning” alcoholics that aren’t reprimanded until it becomes a problem.

            societal acceptance of booze is mostly because it’s been around for about as long as we have- its production certainly goes into the neolithic period; coupled with the belief that it’s effects only last through being hung over.

              Its also been proven that people who’ve had alcohol, just the proper one or two glasses, form better and longer-lasting bonds and are less inhibited, reducing social anxiety. In the context of a business dinner, that IS a productivity boost. Even if no one loses themselves completely, that sales client or coworker thinks better of you and knows you better, because of that.

              Booze has been key in human social interactions since the beginning. Shame its literally poison.
