What it meant was, if you work at a place with all the cash controls of a casino, you have to be stoned to steal petty cash from them. You’re going to get caught, and you’re going to get a felony over a small amount of money. Nobody sober does that.

It was not meant as “all stoners are thieves” but as “you’d have to be high to think that’s a good idea”. And since nearly everyone who works at a dispensary is high all day every day, it happens, a lot more than armed robbery which almost never does.

This is like a tour of logical fallacies. How about some data?

I don’t think there is much data to be had, at least public. But I can tell you in the 5 years my brother has been there, they have had zero armed robbery attempts, and several employee theft attempts. And a quick Google about whether dispensaries get robbed frequently will show you people from the industry saying the same thing.

But no, no data, only anecdotes. Still, I feel like only somebody who has never been in a dispensary would think they are attractive robbery target. I’ve been in them and maybe 10 states, and they are all pretty tight Security, because they know they have a lot of cash and people would like to steal it.

If you smoke weed, why do you care if people judge you negatively? Aren’t you making the deliberate choice to free yourself from society’s expectations? Judgment is society’s very weak tool for getting narcissistic individuals to behave in a civilized manner. If you don’t want negative judgment, maybe try conforming to what society views as positive? Or don’t conform and just deal with what people think of you.

Don’t bully people for smoking a plant. Easy.

Why? Society doesn’t owe you acceptance for your personal choices. For the vast majority of people, smoking marijuana is an anti-social choice that makes them a less productive member of society. Why should anyone have something other than a negative opinion of such a choice?

Judging people is wrong. This isn't a controversial statement.

"Wrong" is a judgment. Why are you judging people for judging people?

If you're arguing that judging people is ok, I think you could do a better job than tu quoque.

"You judged someone on a separate occasion, so you can't object to judging people now" would be tu quoque. What I actually did was point out the internal contradiction in your stated position.

Sorry, I just don't think that arguing that it's ok to judge people is viable. It seems to be very important to you, however.

I've said a total of four sentences on the matter, none of which hinted at its importance or lack thereof to me, so it's interesting that you've come to that conclusion. Either way, my internal motivations are a non sequitur. You are continuing to take a self-contradictory position by stating that a certain behavior, namely judgment, is not "ok", which constitutes a judgment. You have offered no defense of doing so. Should I conclude that you simply believe that oxymoronic positions can in fact be correct?

No it's not. Judging people is extremely important in order to enforce social conformity and norms. It's how we as social animals maintain civilization.

Please tell me more about your desire to “civilize” people through conformity to your chosen social norms

What if being productive to society is actually harmful?

It's not. It's why you're not living in a hut, or worse.

Those who build weapons to kill children, then, are productivity heroes.
