Remember the good ol' days when mention of the "pot hole on Main Street" referred to asphalt damage?
Common sense must be legislated because too many members of our profession think some rules don't apply to them. If and when the DOT can come up with way to test/control the use of marijuana, and the trend continues toward permissiveness, it'll happen.

Schumer can have his pipe dream, but it ain’t happening at the Federal level. The bureaucracy from DEA to the penitentiary system has way too much budget involved to let go. Business isn’t to only group with lobbyists.

Colorado is one of the lucky states in America who has been legalized the marijuana. And i don't see any problem about this because it gives us a lot of benefits upon checking the net I saw this article Cannabis Is Legal In DC, But Not For Everyone - GreenMed that Colorado is one of the few places where cannabis consumption for funsies is allowed. It’s not that way for everyone though. Cannabis is still a Schedule I drug, so naturally, this makes things a little complicated for people living in public housing, but it helps the industry also
