 I work in the oilfield and could never figure this out. Saw so many lose amazing opportunities due to weed. I used to smoke the odd joint but a couple months before starting in oilfield, I simply stopped. It seemed like the most simple decision

 Crazy thing for me was totally stopping, doing training and taking that seriously. First job and i end up being told by my boss to smoke a joint! Very first job was in the middle of the jungle in Gabon in Afruca and we went to see the local tribal chief in the rondavel in the lical village and he passed one round. Boss just told me later that he would cover any issues arising!
