If it’s ok to make drugs legal, it should be ok for employers to test for it’s use and make employment or continued employment decisions on that basis, among other things.

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

“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.
