DUDE. Amazon will no longer drug test workers for cannabis.

[634-5789]

Amazon is no longer screening most job candidates for marijuana use, the company announced this week. Instead, it will treat cannabis use the same as alcohol. Amazon has offices in a handful of states and has fulfillment centers in nearly all 50 states. Marijuana is legal in 16 states and Washington, D.C. and medical marijuana is legal in 36 states.

1. There goes delivery times.

There will be a mad rush of deliveries just before Adult Swim comes on.

2. That's good

But given that it’s Bezos, it’s probably just for PR reasons.

3. Business reasons too

When workers are scarce, it doesn’t help when a high (no pun intended) percentage are culled due to positive piss test results for cannabis.

It’s a step in the right direction.

8. Spit out my coffee with that one. I remember eating raw macaroni because we ate everything

else and the power was off...

9. It's always been a false barrier for employment

We've come a long way in the USA. The attitude of most Americans towards "recreational" use of marijuana has swung so far in the last 50 years, that these barriers to employment need to be abandoned.

When an employee uses alcohol on their own time and it doesn't affect their on-the-job performance, that's considered fine by most American companies. How is cannabis any different?

10. EXACTLY

and unlike alcohol, which will leave your system the next day. You can smoke one joint and be positive for weeks so it's only fair.
