I figured this was going to start happening to employers in Colorado ,especially after recreational sales started. I wonder if this will put any pressure on Colorado employers to relax their drug testing guidelines when it becomes harder and harder to find employees to keep businesses staffed.
From a High Time's article on the story>
(Lowe’s is one of America’s two big-box home improvement chains (the blue one); Home Depot is the other (the orange one). Christine was in a very long line at checkout when a woman in line with her explained, “The problem isn’t just here in the garden center. The whole store is understaffed.”
While in line, Christine called the customer service number at Lowe’s corporate offices. What she found out is that Lowe’s stores in Colorado are having trouble keeping a full staff because too many of its job applicants are discriminated against for the legal marijuana metabolites found when Lowe’s tests their urine.)

I can't believe Lowe's corporate admitted that, though I find it funny and I think corporations still have quite a few more years until the Feds reschedule but in the mean time, corporations will get to watch other states across the US pass recreational legalization and they too will end up having the same problems hiring employees unless they relax their drug testing guidelines.
