Little Spider Creations had been making scary creations in Denver for 24 years, but the owner of the company says legalizing recreational marijuana changed everything. Now, he's moved his company to South Carolina. Marc Brawner, the company's owner, says since Colorado legalized marijuana, too many employees were coming in high. He was firing too many people, and he made the decision to move to North Myrtle Beach, S.C. "The main reason we pulled out was because of marijuana, " Brawner said. "Marijuana got into our industry. Half of the sculptors will come in high. As soon as we'd catch it, they'd be let go. We went through 25 sculptors. Only five of [our sculptors] either were quality or would show up unimpaired." Brawner says you could definitely see the difference in employees work when they were high, and he says they were just not as productive and had an "it's good enough" attitude.

Well said! That describe the future in America.
What the hell kind of work ethic does he expect from 'scary spider sculptors', anyway? Weirdos hire weirdos.. - And it aint gonna change in the Carolinas..
So much for "marijuana increases creativity".
I wonder how long it will be before Colorado does away with legal dope, cause sooner or later more companies will leave and unemployment will be sky high??? Oh wait never mind the federal government will bail out the state, gotta keep those votes coming in for Democrats... What do you expect? You hire unskilled workers who only moved to Colorado to get high because they can not get high in their native state. BTW if you are smoking pot or drinking alcohol during the week you need to address your addiction!
You'll make any excuse for drug use. You kinda have to now... or be embarrassed with your past pro drug yella bullshit. Here is fact, after 24 years, this company saw a CHANGE in productivity. That change started to happen after you liberals forced your yella propaganda on the sheep in the state of Colorado I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The kind of work that people are paying his company to do.
What the hell kind of work ethic does he expect from 'scary spider sculptors', anyway? Weirdos hire weirdos.. - And it aint gonna change in the Carolinas.. You're flat out dreaming that I've posted pro drug bullshit. I've posted plenty of anti-prohibition facts, because prohibitions are unconstitutional. So you and the prohibitionist author claim. I doubt it. Rave on, grandiose.. --- You're an anti-constitutional prohibitionist, as is well known, thus your own 'yella' agitprop is just stupid.
You doubt the 24 year old company left comatose Colorado? It's kinda fact... don't ya think? lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Drugs are only constitutionally guaranteed in your mind. States have the absolute right to regulate or prohibit drugs. We've discussed this before, many times.... and if you doubt me, then bring a kilo of cocaine to your local PD... see what happens. Then have your attorney file a motion that your constitutional rights were violated and let's see how the USSC rules. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
So you and the prohibitionist author claim. I doubt it. Read much? I commented on your original 'fact'. What in hell are you 'laughing out loud' about,- your own stupidity?
You're flat out dreaming that I've posted pro drug bullshit. I've posted plenty of anti-prohibition facts, because prohibitions are unconstitutional. Drugs/booze/etc, aren't mentioned in the Constitution, -- nor is the power of the State to prohibit them. So you claim, without ANY constitutional backing. Yep, the entire country has, many times. And it's time to end this unconstitutional war... Laugh on, --- you dunce.
Looks like he was just using the potheads as a convenient scapegoat - apparently he had the move planned all along. Boo comes to North Myrtle Beach; props company to bring 35 jobs Marc Brawner will tell you how much cheaper it is to do business in South Carolina than Colorado and how easy Sandy Davis of the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corp. made the move East for his company, but the real reasons he’s making scary sculptures in North Myrtle Beach are two feet in the sand and a book in a hand. “My wife told me,” he recalled a conversation they had after a day on a Grand Strand beach, “this is the way I want to live.” They toured possible locations, talked about taxes and checked out the workforce. Davis arranged meetings with Horry County Council Chairman Mark Lazarus and Jim Apple, CEO of Burroughs & Chapin Co. Inc. She even arranged a kind-of date for one employee to reassure him that life on the Grand Strand would be OK. After all the attention, Brawner said he was aiming toward a warehouse in Conway when Marc Jordan, CEO of the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, stepped forward with a $25,000 check to help offset the cost of the move. Eighty percent of Little Spider’s customers are along the East Coast -- the big one is the Six Flags amusement park empire -- and Brawner said the company will save $50,000 to $60,000 in shipping costs this year. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much What the hell kind of work ethic does he expect from 'scary spider sculptors', anyway? Weirdos hire weirdos.. - And it aint gonna change in the Carolinas.. And two bits he'll have trouble finding 'scary spider sculptors' with good work ethics in Myrtle Beach too...
Send me your Live-Scan booking picture... and I'll laugh even more. Wear a TSHIRT that says "drugs are constitutionally protected" while you're getting booked on a CPCS charge. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You poor dunce, the only thing you can post that makes any sense is "lol" ...
It's very obvious that my "lol" owns you. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Dream on, dunce...
Who ever claimed that? There are drugs that will make you more creative,but pot ain't one of them. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Yeah,THAT makes sense. Anybody that wants to claim an entire workforce in any state comes to work high on pot is a liar. Only an idiot would even make the claim because it clearly implies the workers he had hired before never smoked pot until it became legal. People will tell and believe any sort of lie if it reinforces their prejudices. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Not a chance! Smoking pot is still illegal in SC,so we all know that nobody there does it! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Only in your mind does the average family have faggots in them and few come to work high in Colorado. Any Democrat would agree with you.

I suspect you are just one of several closeted queers in your family. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
two bits he'll have trouble finding 'scary spider sculptors' with good work ethics in Myrtle Beach too... Yet another non-sequitur type post from the grandiose one. --At least he didn't end with 'lol'.
My lol still owns you. Puppet Strings I pull them LOL I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
As I noted before, it's your own grandiose thinking that leads you to imagine I give a shit.

Doughnut eater, get with the program and slice off some of your fat. Tpaine argues that drugs, narcotics, douhgnuts, koffee and even wearing school crossguard uniforms are personal choices and freedoms decreed by the US Constitution. Placing laws limiting personal freedoms are foolish is all, as it limits self-responsibility and in fact increases loss of self-responsibility. I agree with tpaine, too.
Alcohol is a drug just like pot. If you can not make it till the weekend then you have issues that need to be addressed. These are things you do for pleasure.
I don't understand your perspective. Why is the weekend limited for "pleasure?"
Brawner says you could definitely see the difference in employees work when they were high, and he says they were just not as productive and had an "it's good enough" attitude.
