We don't regulate alcohol use, and it's quite a lot more destructive for some. I don't get the specific puritanism for pot. Edit: Regulate as in drug testing for past use in an employment context, like what the story is talking about.
But we do regulate alcohol use... Severely...
Of course Amazon is watching out for their business interest, but they are doing the morally right thing here. I do not smoke anything as a personal preference and do not enjoy when second-hand smoke and smell affects me but I support legalization for the simple reason that criminalization of marijuana and stigmatization of pot smokers is much much worse.
Something I learned from a pot smoker: they sometimes mix it with other drugs for higher effects.
Hippie speedball.

If you were under the impression that Amazon & other companies are actually screening for cannabis use, you should realize that in any legal state they basically did everything they could to make sure their employees would not test positive. It's extremely hard to find people that would work minimum wage and are completely weed/drug free - especially if you need young, physically fit workers. Having higher turnover because you have to fire people after a while because of a drug test just means you have less experienced drivers.
It's funny that, as the article points out, school bus driver jobs would outbid Amazon since that means that schools are having the same issue but really have no choice when it comes to drug testing and are generally more restrictive.

Just out of curiosity and this isn’t meant to be mean, but, what kind of harsh consequence do you think would be appropriate for imposing that smell?
Not gp, but I think a fine is pretty reasonable. Jogging in the park and inhaling pot constantly is getting really annoying. I know a number of families that moved to the burbs, and one of the reasons they voiced is the sharp increase is pot smell/smoke in the kids' playgrounds.

yeap, that is why they specifically say: > Ibuprofen can cause blurred vision, drowsiness, and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how ibuprofen affects you
i got downvoted for specifying a fact, i now understand why certain things gets to the frontpage ;)

And also clearly have never been high enough to realize that they are more likely to be super paranoid and going 10 miles under the speed limit than driving through a fence or running over children. It’s not at all comparable to being drunk.
That’s bullshit. Someone rolled their car into my front garden at 70+ mph in a 30 mph limit on it. The only good thing was it was at 3AM so there was no one around on a normally busy street to get wiped out. And your whole attitude of irrational justification of it says you’re probably not capable of making a rational judgement about whether or not you should drive.

Right, because anybody who consumes cannabis must be doing it all the time and willing to drive under the influence.
Some do. The guy who left his car upside down in my front garden after rolling the car through my fence ended up being prosecuted for it.
