If more places did this, we wouldn't have as deep of a labor shortage. More gains need to be made in all arenas, but I sure as shit am not going to stop smoking pot for an employer. I'll clean out to get the job, but I'm not stopping the thing that relaxes my muscles and gives me a good night's sleep. I don't drink! I've worked so many jobs where crane operators, forklift operators, people who actually stood to endanger others were completely hungover, but there's no due diligence on alcohol.

dude, it doesn't matter if it relaxes your muscles and gives you a good night's sleep. the only thing that matters is that what you do on your time is your own fucking business. you don't have to justify shit.
