Ford SA Allows its employees to smoke Pot

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Ford SA Allows its employees to smoke Pot

PRETORIA, South Africa (Reuters) – It was a moment that could only
happen when a rock star and a former captain of industry team up to check out operations in an industrial plant.

As Irish rocker Bono and U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill toured a
huge Ford Motor Co. plant near Pretoria on Friday, the pungent odour of
marijuana smoke attracted the attention of some of their entourage.

A Ford representative confirmed some of the 3,500 employees at the
cavernous plant did smoke the herb.

The plant was described by Ford as the largest assembly plant in the
Southern Hemisphere. It was one O’Neill wanted to highlight for having
a model plan to test and offer treatment for HIV/AIDS-afflicted workers.

When a reporter asked a Ford official whether marijuana smoking
affected efficiency, both Bono and O’Neill expressed interest that some workers smoked it.

“They do?” a surprised O’Neill interjected. “What do I know? That’s
something I don’t know anything about.”

The Ford official said the practice was not unusual at a huge
industrial plant and indicated there was some tolerance as long as safety was not jeopardised.

Bono took it coolly.

“I was getting off on the diesel fumes myself,” he joked.

The two are halfway through a four-country tour of Ghana, South Africa,
Uganda and Ethiopia, meeting government officials but also touring
businesses, hospitals and schools.

They spent part of Friday afternoon in impoverished Soweto, on the
outskirts of Johannesburg. Their mission is to find out why so much past aid spending so little advanced living conditions and how that might be changed in future.
