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

Do you have to employ someone who shows up to work drunk?

I hear they sell pot in other States too, but employees just won't be as open about it.

Probably why the employer moved.

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.

Not sure about that, but it's not illegal to fire employees who come in drunk, even though alcohol's legal.

At this time there is no law that forces an employer to employ people who are impaired by drugs or alcohol. You can fire someone who is impaired by prescription drugs as well.
