“With the litigation happy society, I don’t blame businesses for being cautious about keeping an employee failing a drug test.”
I agree. The thing is, many businesses don’t want to hire someone who is the kind of person who smokes pot at all. Again, their right. They don’t care if the employee is impaired on the job; they don’t want him if he *ever* smokes.
The only problem I have with this is the duplicity of claiming that it’s a matter of safety, when it is really a combination of exposure to lawsuits and a moral judgment.
And yet again, that is the employer’s right.
I work on oil rigs. There is no duplicity. It IS a matter of safety.
Don't even try to tell me someone is just as safe to work around stoned as they are straight and sober.
