When will we start seeing legislation forbidding employer discrimination against legal cannabis users in the form of drug tests?
No one cares if you've had a drink over the weekend, on your own time, as long as it's not affecting your on-the-job performance. Some companies have parties where alcohol is served, and going for drinks after work is quite common.
Yet so many companies require you to take drug tests before you get hired (and some have regular on-the-job drug tests), to prove you haven't used cannabis in the last 30 days -- even in states where it's legal, and even if you have a prescription for it.
This is obvious discrimination, and I hope one day the law recognizes it as such and forbids it.
