Depends. Was he high when he caused the accident? If not, I don't see what smoking weed a few days before would have to do with anything. High, drunk, or hungover should all be treated with equal intolerance.

Even with a script you shouldn't be allowed to work on opiates. Even if prescription pills are being used illegally it should have no effect on someones job as long as they are using on their own time and not coming into work under the influence.

Things you have done yesterday, should have no effect on your liability today. Yesterday is over, it's no longer part of the equation. If you can someone for smoking weed a week ago you're not saving the planet or doing anything noble. It's just a way for companies to pass off their liability.

"oh he had an accident at work? Well it looks like he smoked a joint 20 days ago, so obviously it's not our fault"
