Yes. Even here in WA state where pot is legal. Would you let your factory workers use heavy machinery while on pot (or any intoxicant)? We do random and "for cause" breath alcohol tests and drug tests in my office all the time.

I guess the question is whether they can be fired for being high over the weekend, rather than on the job. I've heard THC sticks around in the bloodstream for weeks after it's smoked.

Yes, but read my post. Many of these folks are high ON THE JOB.

I know that THC can stick around awhile.

Sure, it gets dissolved into the tissues of the body.

But my point is, just try to explain that when a factory worker cuts his hand off, or injures another worker.

The fact that THC is absorbed into fat will not save your business when you get sued.

I agree that workers should be allowed to indulge, OFF the job.

But some people have taken the lax pot laws to excuse usage while on the clock.
