More businesses are mellowing out over hiring pot smokers

If you're looking for a job... for the sake of your family and livelihood... you only have ONE job:  pass the drug screening.

If you can't do that... you can't do squat.  How little do you think of your family and your ability to feed them that you can't pass the screening?

I would be curious to know if businesses in weed-legal states perform more random drug tests to make sure the person didn't get "clean" just to pass an initial drug test to get the job. 

It seems a lot of folks are confused by the fact that just because a state has legalized weed, it doesn't mean businesses accept pot smokers. People who move to a state like Colorado don't seem to take that into consideration so when they go to take a urine test, fail, and are told they don't get the job due to a failed drug test they are shocked. Now they have no job and no money because they spent what they had in moving expenses. This has been a trend there.

From conversations I've had and what I've read, businesses in Colorado generally test more often now than before legalization. 

Anyone not researching for a major life change like moving and starting a new job enough to know about a company's drug policy are probably too dumb to do said job very well.
