Recreational Marijuana in Texas?

[bandl]

Why do you care who we hire?

People can do whatever they want in their free time. But if what they're doing isn't "protected", I'm under no obligation to hire them.

I don't, just curious. If someone is dumb enough to tell you they smoke pot in an interview, of course you shouldn't hire them. I just don't see why you would go through the trouble of drug testing tellers and loan officers.

Jumping the gun here.
I know for a fact some of my employees smoke weed. They've told me. They also drink. I don't care what they do on their free time.
What I DO care about is what they do on my dime. And as such all of my employees sign an agreement upon employment that I can drug test them at anytime if I suspect they are under the influence while at work. After work and not driving one of my vehicles? Do whatever the hell you want (although my insurance company won't cover anyone I hire who has a DUI, so driving drunk is probably not in their best interest either).

This. Testing for weed is juvenile and puritanical.

Tell that to the lawyer who sues your ass if your employee gets into an accident and tests positive.

State's rights issue. If its not specifically spelled out in the Constitution its supposed to be left up to the states. Every state should be able to set their own drug laws, abortion laws, gay marriage laws, labor laws & minimum wage rates, etc, etc, etc. Course with our fed govt (executive, legislative, judicial, and regulatory) intruding in areas they have no business intruding in that isn't the case.

*Edit "fed" govt

For something he did in the last month? I thought we were presumed innocent?

It should be up to the state to prove you were driving impaired at the time.

And in the case of jobs where safety isn't an issue…juvenile and puritanical.

Obviously it depends on the nature of the work. Operating heavy machinery or driving a bus is much different than the jobs I mentioned.

When I was hired by this latest company - they're based in NYC
They have drug testing (Piss Tests) policy
The president of the company ask the HR department
if they thought I should be piss tested since I live in Washington

The HR department said: He will take a piss test - Damn right
but we won't enforce any Marijuana findings - its legal in the state and we're fine with that

Of course I peed a spotless pee (as I am 100% drug free)

I don't want drug users handling money. They've already proven they are selective in the laws that they choose to follow--not the kind of person I want having the keys to the vault.

And you can't selectively drug test. So you test all of them pre-employment.

So you always drive the speed limit?

At some point, ALL marijuana is recreational

Z isn't like those other drug-money laundering bankers.

He always drives the speed limit.

It's not about ethics. It's about theft. And bondability. Things you wouldn't know anything about. I'll give you an ethics lesson when I start working for a "major" bank.

And yes, I do. Don't have a fucking choice with all the jackwagon drivers in this fucked up state. They ALL do exactly the speed limit....most times driving right next to each other and blocking traffic behind them.

Well, good for them. Hope their firms don't have drug testing policies.
