companies will now HAVE to expand the ban to pot smoking.

Imagine the liability for companies which do not ban employees who pot smoke.

I am surprised insurance companies have not stepped in and denied insurance to anyone who pot smokes (for auto insurance)

I worked in a car dealership in the 1990's. The owner decided to start drug testing. Over 70% of the employees tested positive. After firing all the productive employees the dealership also lost half it's business.

That dealership went broke, got bought out by another owner, moved into a new building, and went out of business.

When the owner gathered the employees to announce the drug testing program, I went and got my truck. My tools were rolling out the door before the dipstick finished his speech. I went to work for an independent shop. I had a job the next day. This was 15 years before pot was legal in Colorado.
