I agree but not all those prohibited legal meds are tested for and those that are in the panel of drugs that are scheduled. So if marijuana is de-scheduled where does that leave the DOT/FAA? Are they still going to test for it? As I mentioned above it would be different than lets say a valium, which would fail as a barbiturate (scheduled drug). So, if descheduled it would make it prohibited to safety-sensitive positions in more comparison with benadryl.? If so the only way to discover use would be disclosure to your AME or on the "Do not fly" honor system which is anything - may cause drowsiness or advises the user "be careful when driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery."
