It won't matter for most responsible working people because most employers don't want pot heads working for them any more than they want alcoholics. I will say this though, I can easily see it being a blessing for cancer patients to lessen the nausea associated with chemo therapy, etc.
Maybe. I think most do the drug testing b/c of the tax credits they receive. Where I work, the boss of our company in GA, has like a 50s workshop policy, which is, if you aint fricked up at work and messing up our profits, who gives a shite. They hire a bunch of ex felony's and stuff, but really people deserve a 2nd or 3rd chance. They just did a drug test to keep the tax credits, and they did a random test and pulled the last name of employees with letter "c". Out of them, 2 of 9 passed and none of the ppl who failed got fired or suspended or nothing. Business went on. This is a company with 50-75 ppl in Georgia, who does contract work for the AFB. Most of the people who work here has done drugs and definitely smoke weed. Hardly anybody is sober at work (including caffeine), and yet we are under cutting companies like Boeing, by half of what they were quoted on making stuff for the AFB.
What you do on your off time or even work time, doesn't matter as long as you produce. Also where I work, if you frick up with shite, people could easily die. The worst injury since I've been there (2yrs), was when a guy broke his collar bone, but that was when he got in a fight with his brother. Again, just b/c you do drugs, doesn't mean you can't produce a good product. A lot of people you know and think are sober, might be on some drug (caffeine, pills, weed, alcohol, etc)
Hell our supervisor, is a uga grad and played TE (dont know how much he actually played), and our boss is a A&M grade. The boss is an alcoholic and our supervisor is on that dank. And our shite gets done, and we are about to get another contract here shortly.

Between my 2 companies I have 23 employees. 10 of us have to maintain CDL licenses & all of us (except for 4 office employees) have to have an OSHA forklift certification. So right off the bat OSHA & DOT mandates random yearly testing. Then on top of that DOT regs. & my Insurance Companies require a drug test within 24 hours of any type of accident involving my delivery/pickup trucks or forklifts which involve personal injury or property damage to my or someone elses assets...
Rest assured there no tax breaks for drug testing employees...
