Had a colleague pose an interesting question.
So what happens to companies, like Boeing, which requires drug screening tests, which includes that for weed, when that drug is legal? Does the state tell Boeing what concentration of THC is acceptable for workers building planes that you plan on boarding at some future date? What of police and firefighters? Will such folks be completely restricted from using a drug completely legal for everyone else? This has a potential for some interesting Constitutional quandaries.

They should be free to not hire. Many hospitals will fire staff if they smoke cigarettes.
If a company stipulates up front that you will be terminated for pot use, then that is what that person will have to abide by.
Companies are refusing to hire people who use a completely legal substance - tobacco. They can set the terms of employment. If using a substance impairs their ability to do their jobs, they should be able to fire them, or refuse to hire them.
It remains a terminating offense at the company I work for. Pee tests are still in place. I imagine it is handled the same way alcohol is handled - they can’t stop you from imbibing on your own time but you better not have a trace of it in your system on their time or you’re outta there.
