Because if marijuana is legal, would it become illegal to discriminate against those who use the drug; illegal to do drug testing for pot????

It depends on whether a state's law forbids testing or not. In states where it is legal, I'm not aware of any prohibition against employer tests.

Heck, there are more and more employers testing for tobacco these days.

I think the obvious point is that there WILL be pressure to make a now-legal activity less a condition of employment, especially if a LOT more people start engaging in the activity, which is happening.

Do you think we could not legally restrict employers who want to declining hiring people who drink alcohol? It's no different now with pot.
