and what happens when all places start demanding it?
I don't know exactly where you are, but if you're in the States, then you are simply looking for employment in the wrong industries if you don't want to be drug tested. Here is a list of industries and/or positions that I know of, that I've worked in, that do not drug test:
1) Anything music related, like working at your local Guitar Center or equivalent
2) Hospitality (at least, the restaurant/night club side of things, as opposed to the hotel side... this can mean as a server, a barback, a bartender, a bouncer, etc.)
3) Hydro shops, or even just some boutique-style garden centers
4) Many valet-parking jobs (I know, figure that one out!)
5) Many technical support type jobs, like help desk or call center jobs
6) I don't know, the list goes on and on
So, my thoughts are to just change up your search tactics a bit, and stop looking for work in industries that are guaranteed to piss test you. But that brings me to my next point: I fart in the general direction of piss tests. They've never stopped me from getting important jobs in the past. It's called "urine substitution kits."

And that has what to do with drug testing? I think you've shown your true colors in this thread.
With that kind of thinking you deserve to be a stoner with no ambitions.
Employment drug testing is a sickening violation of basic humanity.
Its a private company, they can do what ever they want within the law. Don't like it, don't apply there or don't support their products.
So you're saying they should bow down to some stoner and stop drug testing so you can smoke dope in your leisure time?

Almost forgot, as far as the second part of your reply,
Yes, I do! Actually, I DEMAND IT!
People are being fired in medical states. Sick people. Get it? doubt it.
If federal and labor laws trump medical laws then whats to get? A business owner has to do whats best for the business not whats best for a pot smoker who might put himself, other workers and the business in danger or legal problems.
