I agree that just like with alcohol, there are those who should entirely stay away from the substance due to its effect on them. The problem I see with the current laws is that marijuana shows up on screening for a month or more after use. There is no way that someone is still being altered by a substance that was ingested days, or weeks ago. Many who would otherwise be available for employment are rendered ineligible. Agreed, a change in habits removes this boundary but reality is what it is.

Well, I think they should keep the screening the way it is. If someone is going to do that, then they might as well mow yards for a living... LOL...

[ I don’t think they’ll ever get out to mow the grass even... :-) ... ]

That is a problem for pot abusers. Not for the occasional tokers however. 7-10 days after indulging.

I don't see the difference between someone who gets drunk every day and someone who gets stoned every day.

Even after the effects have worn off, it still effects you physically and mentally.
