Unless a state passes a law making pot smokers a protected class, then there's nothing preventing an employer barring them from employment. For example the owner of the company I work for hates smoking cigarettes and won't hire anymore people who smoke. Perfectly legal in the state of Kansas.

Lyapunov Unstable posted:I guess I'd agree that Drudge stories in and of themselves are fairly inconsequential, but US press teaches controversies that are framed in language engineered by people like Breitbart and developed into coded talking points by Fox News, et al. The Drudge stories themselves don't make it into cable news that often, but American news obsesses over this kind of noise, and that obsessive repetition of coded-racist frames dominates a lot of what we hear about and the topics we're permitted to discuss in US politics. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this process defined Obama's legacy in the same way history was re-written to make Reagan out as some kind of Kim Il-Sung god figure. Who the gently caress cares? I am so tired of Democrats using the big scary Fox News narrative as an excuse for completely giving up on being an actual leftist party. Legalizing weed isn't a particularly radical position, it carries something like a 50% approval rate in the US.

When your arguments start with talking about weed caused COPD cases and psychosis from eating too many pot brownies it's pretty hard to take anything further you say after that seriously, especially when you continue to use rhetoric like, "burden the nation excessively" w/r/t marijuana use.

RichieWolk posted:Why not? Why is is a bad thing to "rubber stamp" approve people to use a substance that alleviates pain and has negligible risks? You wouldn't complain that a doctor is rubber stamping anyone who came and asked for tylenol, why should it be any different for cannabis when cannabis is absolutely less dangerous? It's a problem because it only legitimizes the use of weed for people who can afford to pay a doctor to give them a diagnosis.

Revenue is not the only reason to implement a tax, they can also be levied to curtail or discourage activity. I thought a portion of the tax money from legal weed was supposed to go towards substance abuse treatment and poo poo anyways. It's not like it's all being dumped into the general fund AFAIK.

This is massively off topic for this thread so I won't really respond further but At Will employment is spun as the ultimate freedom! You have the freedom to quit your job any time you want, and your employer has the same right to terminate you whenever they want. Everything is equal! Don't mind the fact that there is little consequence for the employer terminating an employee or an imbalance in power dynamics or anything.

I think most smokers nowadays realize that their habit is generally pretty terrible. Hell, I smoke and I like the no smoking in bars rule because I don't come home smelling like I started a forest fire and I don't end up smoking a pack and a half in a night out. Everyone wins. A similar ban on marijuana doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me, not everyone enjoys the smell of a good skunky strain.

There is no wording in stone on this because private employers are not required by any law to test their employees for substances. You need to coordinate with your boss and figure out what your company's policy is going to be regarding this, no one here is going to be able to help you.

It's because drug tests as a condition for employment aren't about safety at all, it's about screening out the massive pile of applicants for jobs, which is why it's ubiquitous in poor paying entry level positions.

I'm really not sure that is going to be the case unless the product is significantly worse and more expensive which just seems really loving hard to believe. You might have a few people complaining but so what? Some people complain about paying taxes on their moonshine, it's an utterly trivial problem for 99% of people who drink.

So apparently hiring someone with any semblance of experience in a laboratory environment just didn't occur to them? Jesus. potheads man. Or more likely they're doing the equivalent of selling people vaped weed or oregano to kids in middle school because people don't know any better.

I think you need to like reread your marx or something, legalizing weed isn't going to make class war worse. Removing a law that overwhelmingly affects minorities isn't going to somehow increase white supremacy. It might not make it a ton better, but then again no one in here has been saying that.

My place of employment drug tests on hire (except when they don't, I didn't get drug tested for stupid office politics reasons) but after that it's pretty much just a tool to fire someone with cause so they don't have to pay for unemployment. Management knows if they actually tested anyone they'd have to fire well over half their employees. Even in conservative as hell Kansas the attitude is really pretty blase, as long as you're white.
