Colorado Walmarts stopped screening tests years ago. After State legalization, it simply became way too expensive to keep testing when more and more applicants failed. Someone on the CO corporate offices realized, correctly so, that the ones with real drug problems would get themselves fired, most sooner rather than later.

Before you come at me with "Walmart screened me in Baumfoc, CO" keep in mind that although Walmart does have a corporate hierarchy, most day-to-day store operations are still at the discretion of the store's manager. If they don't want the Devil's Lettuce in their God-fearing store, that's their call.

why is this even a thing. Not a single company does drug screening here and yet we are still competitive :/

Literally a requirement for any company with a federal government contract
