I know that even you aren't that stupid.

You give him too much credit.

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure he's just attempting to troll or something. The bill doesn't even make it legal to smoke marijuana while walking down the street. I don't even know if the bill addresses that sort of regulatory question.

That's what my brother Chris said it did.

Yep, K_A gave you to much credit.

Well, considering I've never really even considered smoking pot before, this really doesn't concern me, to my knowledge, other than economically.

You might be more tolerable if you started smoking pot.

More likely.

I dunno. Pot made me less retarded and a helluva lot more tolerable. It also helped me to put my anger issues into a controllable state as well as stabilized my entire mood. We can only hope, K_A.

Read on the news that they can still drug test you for it in those states and not hire you because of it

I can only imagine the number of people getting fired, for being high on the job.

Doesn't surprise me.

Would you expect this to change? I wouldn't. If a business doesn't want to hire you because you do drugs, I see no problem with that. A lot of businesses get significant discounts on their insurance costs because of the fact that they drug test employees.

My employer sets a BAC limit (0.08, same as driving,) which I have to remain below to remain in compliance. Alcohol is legal. Same deal.

I personally am against mandatory drug testing for a job. But I'm okay with it in cases of workplace accidents and the sort.

It's pretty hard to justify that opinion if you're talking about a profession that has life-or-death consequences. Would you be okay with airline pilots not being tested until they have an "accident"? How about nurses/doctors? The thing about accidents is a lot of them are preventable.

Now, I would be against a law that requires that all jobs require drug testing. That's the thing. You have a choice in the matter. If you want to get a nice job, clean up your shit. If you want to keep smoking pot while you have a job, work at burger king. I think that's perfectly fair.

I still hold to my beliefs. Life-or-death consequence jobs would be the exception. Jobs that require you to work with inmates or the mentally ill in asylums would also be another example. Outside of that, I see no reason for it.

I've only had one job where I was drug tested and it was at Goodwill when I was younger. But it was surprisingly a really physical job in a factory.

Back to the OP, I really do wish my state had done this.

I have a serious question:
How does this affect people who are not smoking pot?
I mean, drugs tests, etc. all happened regardless. Will this make any difference for the little man?

Less taxpayer money wasted on enforcement, more revenues from taxation (which ideally would lead to lower taxes elsewhere). More cops working to prevent and solve actual crimes rather than being occupied with stuff like stopping potheads from smoking pot (which ideally would lead to lower crime all around, and a safer environment for everyone.)
