Time to invest in drug testing companies the employers use. Legal doesn't mean the employers won't start random drug testing. Get ready pot heads!
LOL, you would be wasting your money. Employers are moving away from drug testing and companies that do random testing outside of heavily regulated industries like commercial drivers are very rare. Some of the top tech companies do no drug testing at all, drug tests destroy their ability to attract the top talent they need to survive. The US Secret Service just announced that they were going to relax their hiring standards with respect to marijuana use.
Society is moving away from the War on Drugs, Reefer Madness, drug testing days whether you like it or not.
me too! I like to see how close I can make the little blips on my radar screen get to each other without "dissolving" and have the Tower Manager yell at me.

I don't get my knowledge of pot from Hollywood, but from having read 20,000-25,000 pages (mostly online) from hundreds of sources. Why do you think something that can help people have longer, healthier, and happier lives is one of the worst things in the world? It was in over half the meds in pharmacies last half of 1800s: cannabis oil, tincture of cannabis, etc, over 200 products.
There's about 25,000 studies, but about 20,000 of them had to be approved by the multi-trillion $ pill cos.
When you look at an issue, doesn't it make sense that the side that stands to make or lose the most $ is the one that is most likely to lie or mislead? Do you really think potheads can make or save tens of trillions if cannabis becomes 100% legal?
Alcohol is much cheaper than cannabis and more intoxicating, so it should be obvious that cannabis users are looking for something other than maximum intoxication when they pay hundreds an ounce.
There's never been a proven death as a direct result of cannabis use by over 1 billion people in last 10,000 years. No pharmaceutical poison was tested that long by so many.
Our drug laws are not based on safety or effectiveness, just special interests buying protection.

Reason: better comment
Yes, many need to escape reality. My reality is I've had a neurological disorder that started at maybe age 1, maybe a reaction to all those shots they force on babies before age 1. I can't concentrate or remember anywhere near normal. If I'm trying to do something unpleasant it takes me 100+times as long as someone else. If I'm trying to do something without too much brain strain, maybe 10-20 times as long.
I've had depression/extreme anxiety since a baby. I didn't walk until age 18 mos & my mom knew I was very fearful of falling. But I discovered if my body is numb from cannabis, anxiety & depression disappear.
But I'm in a state with ultra-limited program, hard to get in and unaffordable to low income people.
Mind-altering does *not* mean permanent brain damage and the antis have usually insisted pot came before the problems but how many would say they felt fine all the time, but just decided they'd rather be mentally ill, so they started pot?
The US Dispensatory of 1851 listed cannabis as an excellent treatment for mental health issues. It's also very good for treating most physical pain, & has no risk of death, not from single overdose or long term use.
Most legal drugs might be considered mind-altering & body-altering as well. Propaganda is mind-altering so you may believe things that aren't true for the rest of your life.
Alcohol kills maybe 88,000 a year, hundreds of thousands each for food, pills, & tobacco, pot 0. Cannabis in oil form has saved so many lives, making even stage 4 cancers disappear! Who could be against this, besides people who make all or part of their living from prohibition?

Are you saying all potheads have neurological disorder? Good to know.
