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.

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.

I think the obvious point is that there WILL be pressure to make a now-legal activity less a condition of employment, especially if a LOT more people start engaging in the activity, which is happening.

Do you think we could not legally restrict employers who want to declining hiring people who drink alcohol? It's no different now with pot.

Owner of the company never heard of drug testing?

This says far more about the owner to me than it does pot being legal.

Um, they’re sculptors. And they’re going to be just as stoned in Myrtle Beach

I think the difference is that in CO they were coming into work stoned because marijuana is normalized and without the social structures of alcohol (one drinks in the evening and not at work is the norm). Marijuana users that use in the evening are not the issue, that they were coming in and using is the issue, they were impaired.
