Marijuana statistics indicate that marijuana is the most commonly abused drug in the united States. A recent government survey tells us that nearly 69 million Americans over the age of 12 have tried marijuana at least once. About 10 million had used the drug in the month immediately prior to the survey.

Ok as a percent of the population 10 million is 10/330 = 3%. Its called math. Try it.

3% use marijuana, 97% do not.

and marijuana is the weekend party drug.”””

IF it does take up to 4 weeks to clear MJ from your system:

Let’s pretend that you & I are partners in -—a flower shop. We have a need for drivers for the 2 delivery vans we own. The employees who do the arranging of our flowers do not drive the delivery vans.

These delivery vans go to funeral home-—hospitals-—weddings—anniversary parties & other locations. They are all over town at any time of the day.

IF those ‘drivers’ wish to partake of MJ & it is still in their system for up to 4 weeks——

HOW do WE put such a driver into OUR company van & turn them loose on the streets ???????

IF there is any kind of an accident from a fender bender to worse, that driver will be tested for drugs—mandatory—and OUR insurance will be in jeopardy or CANCELLED outright.

Then WE are on the hook for thousands of $$$ of damage & the viability of OUR investment into OUR business is up in smoke...REALLY-—UP IN SMOKE !!!

Drug testing is widespread, and most insurance companies REQUIRE that it be done..Often & random & mandatory.

SKIP the tests? The insurance is teetering on the edge of cancellation. ALL because a ‘driver’ cannot leave drugs alone.

SURE-—it has been deemed legal for recreational use——but since it lingers in the system-—the employer gets stuck with such an employee for days more.

I would be drug testing at least once a week-—and the employee would be paying for it if they failed. OUT of a job & the test deducted from last paycheck.

BTW- NOT sure how it works in every state, but in California you CAN REVEAL to a prospective new employer for that fired employee you had to let go: STEALING——DRUG USE-—ALCOHOL USE.

SOOOOO=- losing any job due to failing a drug test can stay with your employment history for a very long time.
