I'm sure they do it to lower workers comp insurance payments, and because everyone else seems to be doing it.

It's an easy out for them too. If anyone is injured on the job first thing they do is immediately take them in for a drug test. Any spec of weed shows up, which could be a month with a piss test, they aren't liable for any workers comp period.

A lot of companies are switching to hair tests now which go back three months. Even the cocaine and opiate users are worried because they used to be able to get a bump on a Friday and be fine on Monday.

For what it's worth the only part about legalization that scares me is the inability to test how impaired someone is on weed. Last thing I need is a heavy crane operator lifting 110 tons over our head while being stoned. That said I used to smoke and would again if it were legal. I also think it should be legal.
