That is my point. The worst performing employees with whom I have worked have either smoked marijuana or tobacco, or drank to excess on a regular basis. In my opinion, there is a connection between drug use and productivity. I would not knowingly employ either kind of smoker, nor would I employ anybody who I knew to be a heavy drinker - at least not while equally well qualified applicants were available who did not have those vices.

The stereotypes are well deserved. There are plenty of hard working people that smoke marijuana, but I would be willing to bet that if a statistic exists that correlates marijuana use to employment, it will show that unemployed people are more likely to smoke than employed people and of those smokers who are employed, their salaries are lower than those who do not smoke. Unless somebody could prove to me that marijuana smokers make better workers than non-smokers, then I would not take a chance on them, given the choice. That alone, is reason enough not to smoke, IMO, because I know that is how the majority of employers view drug use.

Only because of prohibition. You are nothing more than an uninformed person. Why not watch the movie I post, then debate what you know?
