Comments on: Construction workers are the most likely out of all workforces to use cocaine and opioids; they are the second most likely to use marijuana, after those in the service industry https://twx.atlantacounseling.com/blog/construction-workers-are-the-most-likely-to-use-cocaine-and-opioids/ Client-Centric Counseling and Life Coaching Tue, 10 Dec 2019 21:37:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.9 By: Jerms https://twx.atlantacounseling.com/blog/construction-workers-are-the-most-likely-to-use-cocaine-and-opioids/#comment-118347 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 02:56:50 +0000 https://twx.atlantacounseling.com/?p=91416#comment-118347 In reply to Jim.

Considering the link between the drug use and the work being “labor intensive” and “fraught with injuries”, I’d say yeah, gloss right over them. I’ve done both, no comparison.

It somewhat follows what I have seen with some major differences I’d like to pass on to you.

I’ve been in the construction business for twenty-five years with my uncle and I chase all my pains away with advil and a weak muscle relaxer out of fear that I would be chemically ball and chained by a narcotic a doctor haphazardly over prescribing a opioid with highly addictive properties.

There are times I can’t even get out of bed, it hurts so bad but I rather deal with that then take a chance on that garbage. Marijuana would be a god send if it was legalized.

Duh!

Who cares about them, right? SMH
