And it also doesnt affect the federal law that anyone who has a job that is so-called safety oriented trucking, anything transportation related has since 1991 required testing. Both to get the job and then randomly while youre on the job
Which is CLEARLY stated in the Constitution in article........in article.......in article...
Well I'm sure somewhere in the Constitution there's something that says the government can force citizens to piss in cups. Right?

Xanax is the latest “legal” drug craze. I’ve know waaay too many people taking it.

I wont work someplace that drug tests. Id pass, but thats an environment of distrust I dont want to be in 40 hours a week.
I for the most-part agree with your post. However MANY great employers simply do not have a choice. They are federally mandated to conduct random and pre-employment tests.

As the unemployment rate drops across the country
That’s because people have quit looking for jobs. So, once they quit looking, they are no longer counted as “unemployed”.

Anybody heavily hit by government regulations I don’t want to work for either. They’re too subject to the whims of idiots. And in the rare instance where it’s perfectly legit to make sure nobody’s on drugs that’s a job where my mistake could kill somebody even stone cold sober, I try to steer clear of that world too.
There sure is a long list of jobs I won’t do. Good thing I’ve got the skills to back my pickiness.

My BIL couldn’t pass a drug test. He smokes weed all day.

They have. Fewer welfare recipients tested positive than the general population.

Yet businesses turn their backs on older job seekers who on the average are less likely to be potheads and more likely to show up each day.
You are absolutely correct!
Of course, there are communistic reasons for that; it is neither accidental nor innocent.

Tried it once when I was 16 years old; made me feel stupid, never tried it again.

If they are using illegal drugs that suggests they feel they have th right to break any law they don’t agree with. I don’t want to hire anyone who thinks laws don’t apply to them. They pose all sorts of risks for my business.

Do you check them for speeding tickets too? Mattress tags? Fact is in this modern world ALL of think at least a few laws don’t apply to us, partly because there’s just too damn many of them and even really good people have a hard time getting through the day without breaking any.

I started growing, curing, and processing my own tobacco about 10 years ago.
No Commiefornia taxes and a lot better smokes.
It’s not that hard, a little dirt, a little water, and some idiot blood; and now the only thing I have to buy is papers.
I live in Northern California; actually in the heart of the Emerald Triangle (Trinity County), all the folks around me say I should grow pot and make some money, I just tell them “to much baggage with the hippy weed”.
