If someone's job performance is slowing, then I say fire them, because, yes, they are costing you time and money. It's not always possible to tell, however, if it's because they are coming to work high or because they're just lazy workers to begin with. Some people work even harder while under the influence, depending on the job and the person. If you have a monotonous factory job, then it might make the job easier or more interesting. If you decide to fire a person because they smoked some pot on the job, but they're still bringing in the money and their performance hasn't been affected, it just doesn't make sense.
If it turns out that smoking weed at work is what's affecting their job, then it's a choice they're going to have to make on their own, and they face the consequences of their own actions -- they may smoke weed, do crappy, get fired because they did crappy. But don't fire someone simply because they smoke the herb. Fire them because they suck at their job.

I find my grades are not affected by pot-use. I've been smoking for about a year. I keeps my A's and B's, and plan to graduate with honors.
