“As far as I know, employer testing is legal and unchallenged. Do you have reason to think otherwise?”

There are generally limits - and usually it is after an incident, or at the beginning of a project. Most employers are compelled to provide drug treatment to employees that test positive, give “second chances”, etc.

If you truly want the freedom to toke, you should willingly accept every consequence that comes about - including getting fired for testing positive for any substance, legal or illegal, that an employer wishes to make a condition of employment - including applying for government benefits, including applying for student loans or grants.

You want the great society AND legal drugs - you don’t truly care about what is and is not constitutional, in my opinion.

Do you have evidence, beyond your by-definition limited personal experience, for these claims?

Compelled by what statute?

I fully support that.

including applying for government benefits, including applying for student loans or grants.

So if government denies benefits or loans to tobacco or alcohol users, that's OK with you? What about readers of Marxist literature?

You want the great society

You want to lie about me because you can't refute my actual position.
