I can't imagine anything more awful than being baked at a work social event. Especially the Christmas party.
Anyone who thinks pot is going to become as socially normalized as alcohol is dreaming. People drink in social situations to relax and become more outgoing. It's easier to chat with someone from payroll in a buffet line if you have a couple drinks in you. For most people, pot has the opposite effect - it makes them self-conscious and anxious in public. They aren't going to start smoking dope at company events, kids birthdays parties, or anywhere else they're socializing with groups of people they don't know well.
