Here's the concern that I've brought up with co-workers who agree with this new law:

Many professional organizations and law enforcement agencies use as a disqualifier to membership/employment prior use of drugs, or at least anything more than infrequent "experimental" use in the case of pot with law enforcement. Since it is now legal, will the pressure be for these orgs to soften their requirements for membership/employment? After all, "it's legal now." Will pot-smoking teachers now be about to demand employment on par with non-drug users?

And any professional orgs who maintain their standards are going to face a massive number of lawsuits now, "because it's legal."

This isn't a slow slide into oblivion, it's a rocket propelled shot.

Even worse - imagine if booze-drinking teachers can now be employed.

Being drunk on the job can get you booted, so can being stoned - both are legal in CO
However, obama is still going to jail people who use pot for medical reasons or any other reason

Pot should be treated like alcohol! It’s pretty easy to tell if someone is high on either alcohol or pot! If you come to work stoned or drunk you should be fired! If you kill someone behind the wheel while impaired you should go to prison and loose your driving privileges permanently!
