all prisons are private. They might be owned by the state but they contract out their nursing, food, maintenance, custodial, construction, and sometimes even their guards. This is why prisons in America grew so much in the neoliberal era, they were just following the laws of capital.
Also, as much as my fellow stoners don't like to admit it, it does kinda make you lazier. Unlike alcohol, you can still kinda function on weed just less efficiently, so people are more proned to smoking it before/at work.
I've done manual labor and now I do skilled labor. I definitely couldn't do my current job stoned and I was definitely worse at doing manual labor when stoned but I still did it. I got lucky and never had any major injuries that would require a piss test for workman's comp, but I definitely smashed my finger and cut myself a few times with razor knives because I was stoned. I'd drop shit more often. This wasn't limited to me, my friends at work would smoke with me and all of us sucked afterwards lol.

Weed is so much better than booze. And this is coming from an alcoholic.

I thought NY would never do it, but since every state around us is legalizing, it's only ever 1 hour away in any direction LOL

private prison industry says slave labour good, but if we legalize the reefer, we can sell it
:cap-think:
Because alcohol's been around way longer and everyone is used to it

It's always weird for me when I see people say this. I feel like physical labor is so much easier stoned

I'm stoned at work for slacktivist reasons. They want to pay me 12/hr they can get what they pay for.
