        maybe try telling applicants that if they test positive for marijuana only they're still eligible. I'll take that over a drunk 💯

        As attitudes on recreational drugs change, the workplace will have to adapt as well.

        Free of drugs would include alcohol also right? Or cigarettes since data averages a $6,000 annual productivity loss.. Perspective.

        The quote should have read "selective" background and drug tests; another way an entire people have been demonized...by policy.

        I hope you check for alcohol use also since it is a horrible drug.

        Then don't ask or test them. Why do you care what they do on their off hours.

        Seriously? It's ok to rob banks or assault people, just as long as it's during your own time??

        Yep, as long as it's not done on company time. An employer isn't nor should be an arm of law enforcement.

        So you don't think if someone does criminal things off work, that's not at all indicative of what they might do IN work?

        Off work on own time is not a concern of an employer. They do have background cks prior to hiring. Smoking pot 🚫=🔫💣
