one of my friend's brought up an interesting question. What do you do if you get drug tested in another state after visiting Washington or Colorado? Can you claim immunity or something since it is legal there? You could have been visting a bar where people were lighting up.
The ball is now in employer's court. If it's not illegal then why test for it? There are employers that don't even want tobacco users but it's legal, so I guess they could even exclude drinkers as well. At least it's a medical, and not criminal, issue now.
+Brenda Curtis and +Jeff Edson – It's still federally illegal.
The legalization in Colorado and Washington aren't going to create dramatic sweeping changes, so much as be part of the rising tide of "Legislation and Regulation leads to Taxation", and an emphasis on treating recreational substances equally – with a punishment for use-that-can-endanger-others versus punishing the mere use (or even possession).
It's part of a broader message to the Feds that Prohibition Does Not Work.
And I can get behind that.
it's a process.
When you think about it alcohol isn't 100% legal in this country. There are still dry counties and you can't walk down the street drinking a beer.
