I’ve never smoked marijuana, nor do I plan to, but I agree that it should be legalized and treated like alcohol....Do we ban alcohol just because some people can’t handle it? I would also however, allow employers to test for it and they should have the right to fire or not to hire those who do use.
The war on drugs is an bottomless money pit that I am tired of seeing my tax money shoveled into.
Already being done in my profession.
Since you didn't use any qualifiers such as "employers of employees performing hazardous tasks - e.g., air traffic controllers," I take it that you truly do mean ALL employers should be allowed to require ALL of their employees to submit to drug testing, right?
In other words, you'd like to see employers be given carte blanche to extract body fluids from their employees, right? And to be able to fire them, even if the employees have only been using perfectly legal substances on their own time?
In other words: Employees = chattel.
That's a very strange opinion for someone with a regard for our Bill of Rights to hold!

Yes, this is critical. And I guarantee you that if marijuana were legalized, this would be the first thing that liberals and conservatives would battle over. Liberals would seek to make pot smokers a special class with the special rights, namely the right to be hired and to work with THC in their system.
