Do you ask them now?

Do you think there will be a huge upsurge in users if it is made legal? Or will the people that smoke it now, smoke it after it is legal, and those that don't, won't?

I’d like to see businesses start posting signs prohibiting high patrons, as they do concealed carry patrons.

Only if they appear inebriated. The same rules should apply if they appear to have been drinking, using prescription drugs, or are ill with say the flu or diabetes. If they appear to be intoxicated, ask them, and if they give an incoherent response, or otherwise seem untrustworthy, do not trust them. If they are doing a job where they could endanger others, contact their supervisor, or if none are available, a police officer.

Importantly, even police officers sometimes confuse some medical conditions with intoxication, so judgment is not always accurate.

Not such a silly question. There are those that question the statistical validity of cardiovascular drug studies. Very important to know which subjects smoke to factor the devastating effect of cigatette smoking on cardiovascular outcomes. Unfortunately researchers only asked about cigarettes. Those that smoke marijuana regularly also put a significant amount of carbon monoxide in their system. No mammal on earth was designed to have chronically elevated carbon monoxide levels. Just another consequence of marijuana smoking.

If you are going to ask such a question, you had better cover all your bases & ask about alcohol, cocaine, heroine, prescription drugs, & inhalants. Better ask if they are queer, muslim, Jewish, Mormon, Catholic, carrying any weapons, or have any communicable diseases. Though, your most revealing question might be, “Do you mind doing business with a moron?”

Sir, I have seen some truly ignorant posts in my time, but this one tops them all.

You seem rather paranoid.

Do you use marijuana?

should we now ask every person with whom we conduct business (especially medical professionals) if they use marijuana?

It is certainly within your 1st amendment right to ask your doctor if s/he is a stoner. However, actions have consequences, and you will need to be prepared to find another doctor if they are thoroughly offended by the insult.

Then again, after King O is finished with his healthcare engineering project, you may have difficulties finding a doctor in the first place.

You should think of nothing else. Ask everyone you pass on the street. No one used it until now, ever. Now, everyone does.

We’re all gonna die.

Oh, come on with 'use'. The verb is 'smoke'.

Do people 'use' alcohol? No, they 'drink' it.

Considering the way things are heading, should we now ask every person with whom we conduct business (especially medical professionals) if they use marijuana?

Well of course you should. Just add that question to the ones you already ask now (how much they drink, what medications they take, do they practice safe sex, do they have any STD's, do they have any mental illness in their family history, do they own any firearms, etc.).
