(CNN) — Starting in 2020, Nevada employers cannot refuse to hire a job applicant for failing a marijuana screening test, making it the first state to pass such a law.....

I'm sure everybody saw this coming. The only question is, how long before this becomes the law of the land?

So when peter pothead gets damaged on the job, he won’t be suing gov sissypants. Still waiting on gov sissypants to sign the anti-gun bill that was passed during the 180 day session of the NV legislature.

So what happens when insurance companies refuse to cover said companies, because of the added risk?

[dfwgator]

But it’s legal to refuse to hire cigarette smokers.

[SVTCobra03]

Cigarette smokers are a health risk. Smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.

"But it’s legal to refuse to hire cigarette smokers"

LOL, yes, but you have to remember Lefty/Progressive/Pothead logic:

- Inhaling combustion products from tobacco, BAD
-Inhaling combustion products from weed, GOOD.

Pot-Using Job Seekers Get Protection

Does that include robots?

Ditto for Pot, so why the difference in treatment?

Unemployment in Nevada is about to skyrocket.

Some people put pot into foods instead of smoking it...

Just some more dust and detritus from a crumbling civilization.

But you can safely operate heavy equipment or drive a truck while smoking a cigarette.

You are a hazard with the same equipment while smoking a joint.

Say what you want but Zero Tolerance is stupid, especially in states where it’s legal.

We have younger relatives of both sexes (yeah only 2), who are middle management and above in industries where use of any illegal drug is banned for safety reasons.

Random drug tests are used, and termination occurs with a confirming drug tests shows recent use.

They saw this bs coming and now this endangers the random testing policies.

Simple: Don’t hire Democrats. That’ll take care of at least 85% of the pothead right there.

Insanity. There are lots of jobs where you don’t want people who are taking euphoric hallucinogenics.
