Nothing in the Constitution authorizes the federal government to punish people for making themselves unemployable as OTR drivers.

And if trucking firms are using the standard marijuana test that detects use from as long as weeks ago, they should stop shooting themselves in the foot.

Go back and sloooowly read your post. The drugs are already available. They have been available for decades on the black market. I have been smoking weed for 25+ years (I'm also a working, successful white collar tax paying productive member of society who raised 2 kids to be the same and am raising two kids that aren't mine to be the same, so GTFO with the idiot pot makes people useless comments).

The drugs are here. This will not make more available. They already are, and that is evidenced in your comment about OTR drivers being rare. Why are they rare? Because they can't pass drug tests because they are taking drugs that are already here.

Chances are, you've never tried pot yourself, nor do you know anyone with mental illness issues that are treated by it. I have, and I have. I've personally watched pot stop a seizure in its tracks. I've personally watched people who have been in pain for years try it for the first time and realize it does indeed have pain killing properties. Pot is far better than having the opiate problems we do today, but I guess opiates are good with you because they are "legal".

Making half-aced, ignorant and uninformed comments about stuff you know nothing about doesn't help your cause.

You know, the truck drivers were always high, the only thing that changed is we started testing them...
