The biggest problem my contractor friends have is finding employees that have a clean driving record and that can pass a drug test...

Drugs as well as driving records are a big problem around here. I was talking to the manager at the local Lowes about their problems with customer service. He stated that all their employees are overworked as they are 30% short on their approved staffing level. They deny work to way more applicants over marijuana in their system than they hire. Any residual iand you are out. Opoids are now a big item also. Just because it is legal in WA sate does not make it legal in the work place. Insurance companies including state WC set those rules. Job requires driving, even your own car, you better have a clean record or join the homeless.

People still have not gotten the drift of the way the world is, not how they want it.

It is going to hit here big too... that being in California as it will be legal for 21 and over to partake and grow for your own use... a few days ago a CHP officer was killed when someone under the influence struck his cruiser...

I thing it will take time to realize showing up stoned is the same as showing up inebriated... but stone has residual.

The Occupation Medical Clinics have been gearing up big time in anticipation.

Could this be the final work on the lost generation?

Or maybe the plan is to simply placate a segment of the population?

I was in Colorado a couple weeks ago for work. Happened to ask one of my coworkers how pot legalization effected current employment drug tests. He pointed out that if you wanted a decent job, you abstained. Many jobs fall under federal guidelines, and insurance considers it the same as showing up intoxicated. With the residual, you would be hard pressed to prove if you were stoned while working or not. So workmans comp won't cover you if you have an accident.
