If an employer doesnt want someone using, they can test and there are consequences. Im sure that wont change now. Thats probably the best way to deal with the issue rather than spelling it out in the law in some way or another.

I think there certainly should be a change, since it is now legal for recreational use. That means that on my own time, I should be able to light up a a bowl and chill at home with no consequence when I go to work sober the next day. We dont fire people who have a couple beers the night before work, why should we fire those who choose to toke up instead?

My state has enjoyed high levels of happiness, productivity, economic success, environmental protections, and overall health, for many years. We have also enjoyed some of the highest per-capita consumption of good beer and marijuana in the nation.
Coincidence? I think not.

"...if we can't overcome an evil let's just legalize it and profit from it, and eveything else will sort itself out in the end..."
What did I miss???
After some very deep and profound brain things inside my head I have decided that some of y'all are really really up in smoke.

| The specific chemical that makes you high that they measure for a DUID that leaves your system within a few hours: zero. The rest of crap that stores in your body that as far as I know doesn't have much affect on you doesn't really matter. This is my opinion but it seems fair and safe. Did anyone read the link I posted awhile back? Useful information. |

Useful information. | I could have sworn that prior to this, THC was directly responsible for increased focus, efficiency, and productivity according to many of the studies. Especially the ones that were posted on TB. |

But yes, on a typical night out drinking, my BAC is at zero by 9am the next morning. On a really heavy night of drinking it might not be at zero until a little later in the day. The last "bennder" I had, I was at 0% BAC around 10:30am the next day. Quote:

Generally, it would be below the legal limit depending on how much was consumed and amount of time sleeping it of. Quote:
