Move to Colorado. Although I bet even those that transport pot can't qualify to do so if they've been smoking.
Even then if a job has a zero tolerance policy on drugs, not limited to marijuana, it will still apply just the same as any other state would. You do a drop or hair test with alcohol in your system you will not get hired, so it is not just potheads who have a hard time with drug testing. Heck eat too many poppy seeds on burger buns can actually give you a false positive for opioids, and certain meds contain large amounts of steroids like a Z-Pak so best not get sick and be on that either.
Yes the war on drugs is a joke but at the same time would you want a bus driver stoned driving kids on a bus? Well without some limits that would be more common because even a class B driver takes a DOT physical that requires a drug test. Also ever stand next to alcoholic? If you have you sometimes can tell because you can get a contact drunk from the smell coming off of them, and yes I know that is not true but some drink some skunk brand stuff.
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

But then I won't get to vote on it in 2016 in my beautiful home state of Nevada (where, btw, we have hookers and gambling). If we get this thing passed in NV, I'll invite everyone to pay a visit to the free-est state in the union. You don't know what a good time is until you've had a good time in Nevada.
I'll stop again... sorry.
Here you go! A list of driving jobs in Nevada. Some company on this list in the "free-est state in the union" will undoubtedly hire you.
Check out the videos regarding the physicals Roehl does. It's been a bit since I watched, but I seem to remember the rep saying something about just being honest, that they understood sometimes good people have rough pasts???
Okay, okay, you're an awesome dude, thanks for the encouragement! Truck driving sounds like a pretty awesome job to me. I want to buy some audio books and listen to smart people on the road. How does that sound?
that's the best thing I've read in a really long time.
being productive is a dying art.
Yeah dude not gonna lie, I sure like weed, but I'm totally unsatisfied with my place in life right now. The best I can do is vote for it and hope the govt. and companies soften up their policies. In the meantime, I'll just play by the rules.
cops smoke weed. i know this for a fact.
Makes no sense. I can go home on Friday and drink a gallon of Vodka, drink all day Saturday and Saturday night, sober up on Sunday and jump in an 80000 lb killing machine on Monday and as long as I don't smell like liquor, no problem. But if I go home on Friday night, smoke a bowl, and sit and pick my guitar, and even on saturday, then I'm not fit to drive on monday? Ridiculous. But it's the rules so it's what we have to live by. By the way.....I can't drink a gallon of vodka. Not much of a drinker at all. And I also know this isn't a forum for this, so I'll also stop now.
One time I was sitting in orientation for a major company and the guy running it was talking about weed. He said, "You smoke pot for a while and it gets stored in your fat cells and can stay there for up to 30 days. So say you quit smoking a week ago but you have a super busy day and you don't get a chance to eat for quite a while. Your body is going to burn some of those fat cell for energy and it releases that THC into your blood stream and suddenly 'boom!' you're high again!"
About 3/4 of the class had veins popping out of their forehead because they were trying so hard not to laugh. The guy sitting next to me leans over and whispers, "If only it was that easy!!!"
