“No Smoking” means NO SMOKING
not hard
The business can still make smoking pot against the rules and a firing offense. There are governments that won’t hire smokers, so its okay for a business too
True, a private business can put any kind of restriction it likes on it's hiring practices, PROVIDED it's of their on volition, and not forced ON them by a regulation of government.
Ironically, government cannot drug test except in very specific areas because it's a violation of the fourth Amendment.
The thirty-seven page judicial opinion, issued today by Chief Judge Joseph R. Goodwin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, held that the constitutional right to privacy outweighed the government’s interest in drug testing virtually all public school employees without cause

and
About 400,000 federal workers in testing designated positions – those who have security clearances, carry firearms, deal with public safety or national security, or are presidential appointees – are drug tested when they apply for jobs.

How many MILLIONS of federal jobs are there, again?

This is yet another double standard by government. Forcing private business to adhere to rules they, themselves are not subject to. Many FReepers understand the concept of "A law for thee, but not for me"...but refuse to see it when it's staring them in the face because they personally don't agree with the subject of the rule itself.
