I've got mixed feelings about this.  I don't use the drug myself (though I might have been known to partake in my teens), but I have seen where it helped family members going through chemo.  There certainly is a medical benefit and the more I learn about CBD the more that I am in favor of having that option available for people.

On the other hand I have also seen where the abuse of the drug has caused hardship because of employment matters as well as motivational matters.

I kind of look at it like this.  On my off-days from work when I am out on my property in the middle of the woods, I partake in some beers and sometimes a bit of bourbon.  It helps me relax and I enjoy it.  However, I am not driving anywhere, operating dangerous machinery or otherwise endangering others while doing so.  I know that there are others that will abuse alcohol and drive while drunk that kill people or themselves due to accidents.  My only fear is that people that drive while "high" or operate dangerous machinery while "high" will do the same.

The other thing is, I've seen where people that abuse the drug (marijuana) have no motivation and are un-employable.

I think that the key word here is abuse.  In my case for example, if I'm off of work, on my property out in the woods not planning to drive anywhere I should be able to use mind-altering drugs if I choose to do so whether it be alcohol or marijuana.  It's the ones that "wake and bake" that present a danger to society much like the ones that wake and have a drink.  If you need ANY drug just to "operate normally" you have a problem.

When it comes to employment, it's up to the company in question.  Pretty much every company/agency that I have ever worked for tested for illegal drug use.  That's company policy not something that the government needs to dictate.
