The police would stakeout popular packies along the border in MA and then follow the CT people (that had large quantities of alcohol) back over the border. Seems silly, but trust me this used to happen and perhaps still does. Maybe someone with inside police info can tell us.
So what's the penalty? How do they enforce it? Setting up road blocks on 91 blocking all lanes of traffic(causing massive grid lock) with drug sniffing dogs at random? All to hand out a ticket for a NON CRIMINAL offense? It's an impossible thing to enforce. There's no enforced border. It's totally open. We have a hard enough time keeping drugs out from mexico and you have an enforced border crossing with x-ray machines/officers ect.
Seems like a moot point. Plan your consumption around an overnight in Mass. I'm assuming your job doesn't do drug screens. Mine does.
I don't plan to imbibe. I've had enough of that crap to last me a lifetime!

When MA started it was a ticket, when nobody paid them they attached them to your drivers license. Supposedly they would eat it out of your tax return if you didn't pay it but I've never known anybody that actually happened to.
They can sit on the border all day, they can't start pulling people over at random and they certainly can't search vehicles without probable cause.

Well your job won't be screening anymore if it becomes legal in CT, which is likely give the tax being missed out. And like I would actually get a hotel for that. What a waste of money. haha.
Honestly, I thought about it, but decided I'm not going to try weed anyway even when it becomes legal. Who knows what the long term health consequences are?
I can't for the life of me get why people drink alcohol or smoke. Awful stuff that doesn't make you feel any good and tastes/smells like crap, so I'm guessing it's kind of like that.

Nope. My company is based out of CO and have a policy that employees are still subject to testing and will be disciplined or terminated if they test positive. Many companies do..

Seems like a workplace lawsuit waiting to happen. How can they regulate what LEGAL substances you put in your body outside of work? And what a waste of money for the company to even bother testing people.

Exactly. That'd be like saying employees can't consume alcohol when not on the company clock.
The only exception to this is if this is a safety sensitive job (transportation), but other than that, I think they'd lose in court if challenged.

Not a workplace lawsuit until recreational use marijuana becomes legal under FEDERAL law, right now it's still considered illegal to federal government.
