In the states that have legalized Cannabis, how do pre-employment drug tests work?

I'm curious as to how they are addressing this, are they taking the panel off that shows Cannabis use?

I work in MMJ, and engelMaybe is right. Each state that has allowed MMJ or recreational cannabis, there is a specific clause in the legislation allowing each company to maintain their own policy. Because of this, there has been very little change, job-wise. If your company drug tests you and they have a zero-tolerance policy, your ass is fired, whether you're licensed or not. We in the MMJ industry (and the soon to come recreational industry in WA and CO) are obviously hoping for some changes in that direction, but until they come up with a test that clarifies the length of time since your last toke, there is little chance of that. Another factor is the large corporations-- since they are based out of different states and do business all over, they pretty much have to abide by federal law. The small businesses in "legal" states obviously have more leeway, and there are some of them that don't even drug test anymore unless something happens and you're trying to get workman's comp.
