        Why would anyone want to work for an employer who thinks that someone who has smoked weed is a risk? In denial.

        it sucks that people who try to turn their lives around get denied for background checks, and if it's weed, who cares.

        It has to be safety first. If you need a job bad enough, you'll give up drugs.
