A lot of jobs that are allowing cannabis usage are requiring you have a medical card.

Which is not hard to get, at all, for anybody curious. I believe the amendment also extended the certification period.

I've heard penmac, bass pro, walmart quit testing for weed in the past year. My current job tests for everything but cannabis (except for positions that require operating machinery).

Ymmv, but I'm done taking breaks to pass a test for a job. I'm not going to be hush hush about my usage either. It's legal now, I am comfortable adopting that mindset in all areas of my life.

Penmac leaves it up to the employer on whether or not to test

Walmart as a corporation doesnt test 90% of positions.

My fiancé works there, she’s had a lot of conversations with hr about it. She told me it was official as of last week

personally I wouldn't want to work somewhere that my value as an employee was exceeded by my use of a legally obtained substance enjoyed on my own fucking time.

A lot of places only drug test upon hiring. Just be clean for that and then don't talk about it at work so you won't have to worry about a "random" test done.

Lkq remanufacturing does not drug test. They haven't for a few years now. Starting pay is over $16 an hour I think. No experience necessary, just hopefully be trainable. And wipe your own ass.

Enterprise doesn’t test for weed

NetSmart has specific verbiage in their job descriptions that state a medical card is necessary even if you live in a state in which recreational is legal -_- no protections etc etc

Not sure how long it will take Missouri to get to this point, but I am an Illinois resident and recreational user without a medical card. The last two jobs I have had since recreational legalization in Illinois have not even tested for THC on the drug screening I had to take in the hire-on process. Obviously you can't come to work high or be seen using cannabis on work premises, but most jobs seem to be pretty lax about it for the most part, besides the obvious ones that aren't.

Use quickfix if tested. If you work in manual labor and get injured, you can get fucked over. But past that, don’t stress about what you do off the job, just don’t post anything that can lead back to you that your employer could potentially see of what you do at home.

I recently learned the recreational amendment included privisions for employees to not discriminate against medical card holders! feel like it's high time for EVERYONE to get a med card for this reason alone

It's still illegal federally. State can say whatever they want, but employers will still be able to refuse to hire based on a drug test result, card or no card.

Then the state can revoke their business license. The state has more power than what you think. You pay taxes to the federal government but the state is the one that licenses your business. Franchises must obtain business license in each state they are opened in for this very reason.

There's definitely a swamp of interesting legal issues with no real precedent yet. Can a state coerce a business to break federal law? I doubt that would play well in federal court. But who knows. I'm just saying that until the feds make sensible policy moves, I wouldn't expect, say, Mercy hospital or the post office to care if you have your medical card. They're still not going to hire you if you can't pass a drug test.

The funny thing is the CIA, NSA, etc ... Quit testing for thc YEARS ago. So the guys responsible for national security and dealing with monsters are cool... But everyone else isn't. I wish all the idiots would be pushed into retirement and then we fix all this broken nonsense.

Secondly... Dude I wondered the same thing. The not knowing part sucks. ESPECIALLY, if you are at this new place and you still don't know yet if you'll get tested for it. Obviously you can "prepare". It's unquestionably fear mongering. Sure let this dude drive drunk and ruin the rest of his life possibly kill some people because he is BLACKED OUT. but the stoned drivers mostly don't have issues driving and they certainly don't black out.

Honestly it's just insane. Just hire good people and they will do whatever they want in their freedom... Oh wait.

So basically I'm scared to do the only thing that they've ever gotten to help my sciatica. Which then causes all these problems. You're not going to hire me because I do something that improves my health? Well Dueces then! ✌️
