Here is a side effect of legal pot some may not think of. I worked for a distribution company that had a warehouse near Denver. They drug tested employees (truck drivers, fork lift operators, etc) when they were hired then at random times afterwards. Staffing became a problem and closure was imminent as they could not fine clean employees. Pot stays in your system for about 30 days and if you test positive, you are considered unsafe to work in the warehouse. A lot of it was an Insurance requirement, but the local population became such stoners that they would not find anyone who could pass the test. Unfilled positions crippled the operation.

in the 1990s the Chief of police of a city in soCal declared he would hire pot smokers. Because so many applicants were smoking. The cops were having drug testing of applicants and some on the job. I don’t know where that went, if they can smoke pot. But not that it’s legal, employees have burden to prove they can’t have employees who smoke. The world has changed my friend and not every thing is better.

Which is nonsensical - what stays for 30 days is inactive byproducts.

but the local population became such stoners that they would not find anyone who could pass the test. Unfilled positions crippled the operation.

So we should ban all things that make one unproductive? Staying up late?
