  1. With more and more states passing some sort of recreational and/or medical laws, employers really need to start to think about abolishing testing for THC. Especially when the adverse effects of the plant are dramatically lower than legal substances such as alcohol and tobacco. And in some cases, can actually be a medicine for such diseases as cancer, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, arthritis, and several others. Even disorders like PTSD can be treated with Marijuana, and in a lot of cases, the quality of life improves for the people in comparison to the pharmaceutical drugs doctors prescribe. I understand, no employer wants to lose everything because one person got hurt while working and they tested positive for THC. But there is a huge difference between being under the influence and testing positive for any substance. No one cares if the last time you consumed alcohol or tobacco was 2 weeks before you get seriously hurt on the job. No one is going to point fingers and blame the booze, but if someone smokes a joint instead in that situation, it's the blame goes to the weed, because THC stays in your system longer than any other drug that is tested for. Drug testing is an out of date practice, based on out of date laws and science. My personal opinion, ebolish the total testing for THC. Except in a situation where a person is severely hurt or injured while working. Then and only then, should it be determined if that person is under the current influence of any substance. Unfortunately, when it comes to THC, finding the window at which the person consumed the drug, is extremely hard with what we know. And our beloved government blocks almost all research, testing and experiments with marijuana. They know it's potential, they have it patented as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants. Don't believe me? Look up U.S. Patent #6630507. Thank you for your time if you actually read all that
