Could you explain this more? I have been curious how that works with legalized Mary Jane, especially when it is still illegal on the federal level. How about when crossing state borders to a state where it isn't legal, but it is still in your system?

I'd imagine this is something lawyers and the courts will be hashing out for quite some time and OSHA regs may be revisited at some point.



Just like my employer in Oregon. Pot is legal here, of course, so is alcohol. But if a piss test shows any trace of either in your system while at work, it is the same as crystal meth, or heroin.

Zero tolerance.

Should be the same for anyone herding 80,000 to 105,000 lbs down the road with nothing to keep him from crossing the lane and hitting me head on, but a yellow striped line on the road.



Are you saying there is zero tolerance for BAC? As in 0.0000 readings? Therefor anyone who was out a little late, got 8 hours sleep after drinking at their kid's wedding reception, but still had, lets say a detectable level below the legal limit of 0.03, a valued employee would be out the door?
