    So once we get to fully half the nation have state legal cannabis… can we please just legalize federally? I don’t even use the shit but this is just getting ridiculous watching every state ignore the feds on this issue and the feds not even saying anything

    Yeah but then we’d be ohigho and nobody wants that except for the people who hang out at the intersection of gay and high streets in Columbus /s

    Added sarcasm tag because I’m an Ohioan who thought I was being clever. Seriously we’ve needed legal weed for years. Our medical cards are too restrictive as is.

    Curious how it would be handled by private businesses, who frequently drug test employees, would those sorts of tests still happen? Would it be sort of quasi-illegal, since failing a drug test might affect employment, or do those sorts of tests just go away? How has it played out in other states that have legalized it?

      My company stopped testing for weed several years before it was legal in my city, once the neighboring state 5 minutes from our downtown legalized most of the business gave up enforcing thc tests. I’m sure the yokels continued to test but the cities gave up

      It’s gonna depend on how each state phrases the law. It just became legal in Minnesota and the law specifically states that employers cannot discriminate against employees who test positive on a drug test, and employers would have to prove it was used on the job to terminate an employee.

      Other states might leave provisions like that out, on purpose or otherwise.
