And it is especially stupid for someone who is struggling to make ends meet, like the OP stated. There are plenty of ways to relieve stress without spending money or doing dope. Also, prevents a person who is barely making ends meet from getting a better job in a lot of cases because most companies do drug testing.
I will say that I don't think it's fair that they do drug testing. A person can do an ounce of cocaine and sweat it out in 24-48 hours, but weed stays in your system for a long time. I don't think it's a company's business if you want to smoke it on your own time, but it's a black mark against you if you do.
You don't believe that an employer should be able to require that you be clean and sober on the job? Why?
That's the point. You can smoke marijuana once a month, and your drug test will come up positive, even when you are doing it on your own free time! Whereas, an alcoholic or a heroin addict will come up clean.
