But federal law already does.

No, it doesn't?

Private employers are free to drug test as they please.

I guess by it being illegal federally that states just drug tested for it on their own will?

As long as it’s illegal federally I just don’t see them stopping drug testing for marijuana

Yeah, pretty much. Colorado was going through the same issue when it came to firing ppl for weed. Were allowed to even if it was legal stateside bc it was illegal federally

I can see them stopping for the most part since it's essentially decriminalized, while some jobs would still check depending on what the job is
