You have a case for perhaps changing your companies policies, but not for legalization. Last time I checked, employers had the right to set strict standards for employment, even if they weren't justified.

No, the Feds have coerced my company and many others into adopting these policies due to govt contracts, OSHA regs, insurance mandates, and a myriad of other requirements that I'm not sure if anyone really knows about. The only way to change it would be to go out of business.

Oh, I forgot to add, none of these drug tests actually test for impairment.

Again a condition of employment that you don't like. You should really find a different employer if not smoking pot causes you such distress. Stop trying to force other people to accept your behavior.

You don't want just legalization, you want to force people to employ you against their will.

Here's a news flash, legalization won't in itself change a single employer requirement. Employers are well within their rights to have a zero tolerance policy on alcohol if they want. If they are a Christian school, they can have a zero tolerance policy on employing Muslims.

You have a serious issue with wanting to force people to accept your norms in the workplace. You'd be best to stick simply with legalization, and accept that many things which are legal are not allowed in the work place.
