how did you stretch a weed user into a meth head?

I didn't. I was responding to GURPS (hence the quote) that what people do in their own time is their own business. His comment was not limited to weed, so I didn't limit my response to weed.
I agree that weed use at home isn't terribly likely to cause an issue at the persons place of employment, but it's also not impossible. It's now pretty well established that prolonged pot use is linked with increased incidence of schizophrenia and psychotic episodes. If that presented at work it could very well cause issues.
Well that certainly explains YOU Clem.

Interesting...i've never heard of that.
Young men at highest risk of schizophrenia linked with cannabis use disorder
NIH study highlights the need to proactively screen for, prevent, and treat cannabis use disorder especially among young people.

It is a government paper... should we believe it?

I've seen that happen with a couple people of late, never happened that I know of back in the day. The weed nowadays is way stronger and has definitely contributed, IMO, to their schizophrenia and psychotic episodes.

I think when it comes to vapes, a lot of people don't realize the potential effects they can have, especially with long-term use. I know a guy who owns a vape store, and he's seen a rise in people using thc vapes recreationally, but he's also worried about the impact on mental health. There's definitely a fine line between personal use and it affecting other aspects of life, like work. I agree with you that it's not always a problem, but like you said, it can be risky for some. I think it's important for folks to understand the potential risks before making it more widespread.

Or a paper mill. Those are enough to gag a maggot.
Chicken processing plants: same.
Zinc plating: almost as nasty. I worked in a couple out in Tulsa. Fortunately, I didn't live anywhere near them.
Dairy farms, depending on how they're run. Grew up on one, thought it was hysterical that builders began building and people began populating the apartments, condos, and houses around Hollandia Dairy in Escondido, CA (north county San Diego) and then began screaming about the smell from the dairy.

True enough, except a lot of employers care very much what you do on social media <checks notes> after hours.
Don't get me wrong; too many employees do make the places they work for look bad (not to mention themselves in the process). But where is the line between the hours an employee is compensated for, and their off time that they are not compensated for? It's not like when we were in the military and our time was not our own; not really. We were 24/7 soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen, and coasties. Our haircuts and awkward civilian fashion sense gave us away.
But civilian employers don't control their employees 24/7 that way.
Dojos are another example. To varying degrees, they care very much what you do when you're not at the dojo, especially if their students get up to no good. If you do something notable or heroic, however, they're tots okay with that, especially if the dojo gets mentioned.
Wasn't there a pig farm off of Rt235 north of Rt4 that had been there forever, and people buying into a new development nearby complained to the County about the smell?

Do we even have to answer that in this day and post-lockdowns age?

I quit inhaling in the '80s; probably half a decade before I got sober.
Main reason: extreme paranoia. Like the song says "paranoia may destroy ya".
I wasn't having psychotic breaks or anything else, and the heavy drinking at the time may have contributed to the problem, but yeah, the schizoid behavior and so on is a new one to me.
Pig farm smell is in its own category of unpleasantries.
