(This is not about gay marriage though I support it

and I'm not a cannibal or a necrophiliac)

I'm going to say cannibalism and

necrophilia should be legal

as it can be a victimless crime

this would never happen as nobody would support it but here's my plan of how it would be

if this hypothetical person didn't murder or assist suicide,

(have a clean background check)

both participants are checked for mental health problems

both over 21

and gets full consent from both parties under a judge and witnesses

checked multiple times over a year to satisfy consent

have to be carried out no longer than 48 hours after death

Just because society finds it disgusting or wrong

does that mean it should be illegal?

some people find pre-marital sex, gays, mexicans and broccoli to be disgusting

do you agree or with just one of them

try to give better reasons than just saying it's wrong

OK there really isn't a good category to put this in but I want to ask this question to see what others think. I have a background check coming up for a job. On the pre-check paperwork I put down that I have smoked marijuana X number of times in my life and the last being in 2010. (i'll leave out the number so it doesn't mess with the poll) I also put that it was just experimentation and was something I did when I was younger and I have grown from that bad experience and moved on.

Now this company doesn't have a Zero Tolerance policy in fact they have a 3 strikes policy. They try to help you before they fire you but this is only if you are hired in the first place. I have a spotless background and have never been arrested or even caught with marijuana but I had to put it down because a lie detector is going to take place also.

So by your definition what would you consider to be "excessive use" or "use beyond youthful experimentation"

Try to place yourself in a hiring position when thinking about this answer. Remember this person has a spotless record and has excellent recommendations and is a really good candidate for the job but he has smoked marijuana in his past. How would you handle this?
