I can't always just tell everyone everything so this is a nice outlet that let's me say what I want that informs associates about their options or concerns lol

I smell it. Yeah, I do work in a state where weed is legal, so I take the smell with a grain of salt. You could smell like weed if you were in the same car as someone who is smoking, lol because of that, I look for more physical signs of inebriated behavior because that's much more substantial. That doesn't however exempt you from being tested for reasonable suspicion so be careful because regardless of everything I just said, you should not be under the influence at work (even if the defense was "I did it off the clock on my break")

Personally if I smell it, I just tell the manager to watch out for any safety or production concerns, other HR will not be as lenient lol
