Nope. Employers are lawsuit targets if an employee fricks someone up while high on the job. Testing will continue.
There lies the problem though. A positive test for marijuana does NOT indicate that you are high on the job.

Well when you still have alcohol or drugs in your system on work time, you need to be fired.

So if I smoke a joint on a Friday night and I don't have to be at work until Monday morning, I deserve to be fired? How am I endangering anyone?
Let's do this again.

So you want pot heads running chemical plants and refineries?

The weed will still be in my system. I would fail a drug test.

While that may be true, that's life. Some times it isn't fair.

The U.S. military is having the same problem. Besides failed drug tests, millennials tend to be fat and out of shape, have criminal records and are too dumb to pass the ASVAB.
The latest I saw was that 75 percent of Americans of fighting age would be ineligible for the military. Of course, the government's answer would be to lower standards.
What a world that liberalism has wrought.

How often do you drive over the speed limit? Which is more dangerous to yourself and others, driving over the speed limit or smoking pot?

See above post.
I think all drugs should be legal, so I'm not hating on anybody, but reality is having drugs in your system on the job isn't going to fly, ever.

So to combat this issue, we have stopped drug testing employees. Genius!
Sounds like progress to me. We are almost approaching a sane and logical state when it comes to this.

Lol... Pot is the most harmless drug and the only people who still hate it are the bible thumping ol timers who don't know any better.
No, those of us that have service deadline/agreements for responses and quality hate it. It may not be meth, but it affects consistency and customer experience. It sounds like many are of the...it's no big deal, but would probably chew out some manager who I'd short staffed because two waiters couldn't make it in. Or theirmortgage app is taking to long or too mistake ridden

Would you disqualify someone if they had a couple speeding tickets on their record?

Jesus fricking Christ. You people seriously amaze me sometimes.

Unless you are flying planes or handling explosives, why should you have to pass a drug test?

I'm all for legality, but is this a serious question?
Yea it's a serious question. I got out of flying because the FAA kept creeping in on having alcohol in your system the day AFTER you drank. Sorry, but I didn't learn to fly jets for a living to listen to arm-chair aviators trying to legislate my cockpit. And for the record, yes there were pilots I flew with who drank even in the pilot's lounge, and were some of the best natural sticks I ever witnessed. Never phased them.
Drugs take a different effect on the body and can really affect reaction times in certain situations, like a multi-axis approach-to-landing. I firmly believe there is a difference in flying an airplane down to minimums with a pot-head versus a guy who has been drinking his whole adult life and can handle it.
But, I digress. Being an attorney now affords me two luxuries. I get to wear suspenders, and I get to keep a bottle of scotch within arm's reach without looking over my shoulder everyday.
Cheers, men

If lawyers were drug tested we'd lose 1/3 of the field.

What is a pot head? Why would the termination of testing = potheads are running this ship now. "Do you guys really want that??!!! Oh the horror!!??" I wouldn't want an alcoholic running shite for me either, and he can show up completely hungover and actually inhibit or injure someone do to his physical state the next day, but he would be able to easily pass a fricking drug test. You think someone that smokes a joint the night before when he gets home from work is as much of a danger or any danger at all to anyone around him the next day? Here's a hint, he's not. Here's another hint, a lot of professionals that you trust/work for/work with/associate with/guide you already do smoke weed to unwind on occasion. You just don't know it.

I like to smoke pot and drink beer on the weekends. You actually think my weekend pot smoking has any measurable effect on how I perform my job??

No doubt the software development industry would collapse if they all started drug testing
