I live in a state that has legalized MJ. Sounded sooo great to the voters and everyone who smokes was thrilled to finally be able to legally purchase weed. Great so far.
Now try and find a job? Yeah, okay. I don't know about other states, but all of a sudden EVERY employer in my state tests for THC now and I mean like 98% of them do.
I get it if you're driving a city bus, heavy equipment, working with kids or even if your working with a lot of money. But it's ridiculous to test for jobs like data entry or answering phones. If a person was seriously high on the job, it'd be pretty obvious. I refuse to even drive my car to the store if I've smoked any at night. I almost never smoke it during the day and certainly NOT before going to work, just like I wouldn't drink alcohol before work.
Legalizing it seems to have made urine testing a standard and unlike alcohol, THC stays in your system for weeks after quitting. So why have it legalized if you can't really smoke it anyway??
I can't wait until I retire.
