Should helicopter pilots be able to smoke weed when off duty?

A good friend of mine recently got his helicopter pilots license. He gets drug tested randomly. He got tested the other day and might not have ingested his clean piss pills in time. He hasn't gotten the results back yet and he's nervous.
Should helicopter pilots be able to smoke weed when off duty? What about airplane pilots?

I say yes. The law, however, says it's illegal to smoke it anytime for anyone.
But they're allowed to drink off duty, right?

hangover/excessive alcohol abuse=bad for everyone(in that type of job at least,) dt for mj when not high=who cares? Unless he's some kind of dead head, I don't think anyone should give a shit. I get random dt's too, most of the time I'm worried, but I wish I could just tell those MF's to get a life.

Agreed. I would think flying with a hangover would impair your ability to fly much more than flying the day after smoking.

What about truck drivers and heavy equipment operators? Thats me. And I get drug tested. Haven't smoked weed since the early 90's because of it. But I was never a big stoner anyway so I didn't really care when I had to quit.
To answer your question, I think you should be able to do whatever you want on your off time no matter what your job is just as long as you show up sober and fit when its time to work.

So true. I never tie one on before a workday. A hangover makes me feel even more dangerous behind the wheel of a big truck then if I was outright drunk!

FTW, I'm a hilo driver as of now, but I believe as long as you show up sober to w/e your job is, what does it fucking matter. It's just businesses way of sticking it back to you so they don't have to pay.

Right. Yeah, I think pilots should be able to smoke it, but I must admit that it would make me feel nervous somehow. Don't know why exactly.

If a pilot gets a DUI they will lose their pilots license, and it is nearly impossible to get it back after that.

Fuck ya. If your off duty and your not going to be hung over next shift/day then do what you want. I sure as hell wouldn't trust a "stoned" pilot but a STONER pilot that burns after their flights is fine. So many pilots turn to drinking and become alcoholics then get shitted on by the FAA because of FAA anti-depressant regulations. Shit, I would take a stoned pilot over a drunk, even hungover. Fuck'em, a lot more people would be sober/calmer and able to do their jobs properly/normal stress level if ya could burn one, or a shitload..... after a stressful days work.

Same with a coast guard licensed captain... get a DUI a thousand miles from water and they still yank your captain license. A good friend of mine almost lost his captains license because the cops wrote him a DUI for riding a normal bicycle (not a motorcycle, or moped, or anything with a motor) while drunk in a privately owned public parking lot. The judge was cool and tossed the case.
