I don't know what has been discussed in terms of what happens when someone crosses the border and they're asked questions: Have they used, are they using, are they in the business or are they not, and what do they have on their person? I'm not privy to those conversations. I think it's definitely a concern. I think jobs are a concern not only for the issue about trading partners but even just internally, whether you're in a border town or not. Does marijuana help people get to work on time and do their jobs in a safe and responsible manner? I don't think so.
If the issue is that we're going to be testing more, which you may want to do, THC does stay in your system a little bit longer than alcohol. Alcohol isn't metabolized in your fat the way THC is. Depending on the person, it could be three days. In some cases it could be up to 30 days. What happens if that the person has an accident and they're saying it's because of the working conditions? If you say, “Actually, you tested positive for marijuana,” they could say, “I used it legally three days ago. It was on the weekend, boss. You can't penalize. It's legal now.” I think there are a lot of those complications. Frankly, it's a lawyer's dream in terms of the lawsuit and liability issues. We've seen insurance claims in some of these jurisdictions be affected by this, because all of these other implications on accidents are happening.
There are, understandably, just so many questions that need to be looked at and confronted. Otherwise, to use a term I like, which I think Andrew has used before, you'll be building and flying the plane at the same time. We did that in the U.S., and I would say not so much because all the people wanted to do it but because there was a cash infusion by a few very rich billionaires, and people who wanted to get richer, pushing messages for years about marijuana's harmlessness, that it was safer than alcohol, and all these things. They were able to push the ballot initiative. Most people probably thought they were voting on decriminalization, not on a pot shop on Main Street.
Nevertheless, they passed it. Folks were left with building the plane and flying it at the same time. Obviously, you are trying to build the plane before it takes off. That's better, but let's make sure we look at all the parts as opposed to neglecting a lot of the parts and saying we'll deal with them after takeoff. We don't want to deal with them after takeoff.
