The law has been changed in many states, a small quantity for personal use is maybe a ticket and that is all, in some states it doesn't even come to that. Now if it is a large quantity it is reasonable to consider that transporting with an attempt to sale and that is a crime. The problem in requiring a drug test is and should be illegal unless there is a reasonable suspicion of a crime. What if a person is on doctor's orders for medical marijuana? They would always test positive and do you think that they should not receive due benefits? No of course not. Marijuana by prescription is an altogether different matter. There are days when I wish I had a script for my glaucoma and RA.. Didn't Florida just sign a bill making medical marijuana legal? Many states have. There are several different types, some do not have THC and some have a much lower level of THC. But they are finding out that even THC has properties that are beneficial when used against several ailments. Glaucoma is one. But remember any use of Marijuana is illegal and Welfare is a federal program operated by the states.

No, medical marijuana has not been legalized in Fl yet Are you talking 'any use of marijuana' as strictly related to the welfare system ? I'm sure if certain states pass legislation screening for drug use in welfare recipients, that prescription use would be an exception. I wouldn't have a problem with that.

For simple possession in Utah is a felony. The legislature is looking to lower it to a misdemeanor to ease prison crowding and send them to a rehab center. Less cost to the state.
I do not know of any employment here that does not require a drug test. I do not like the idea as I will always pass any and all drug and alcohol testing. However, the few always seem to take advantage of the system so, test them.
