If I was the GOD of HR I'd say "Do what you will on your own time, but while at work you will not be under the influence of *insert laundry list of drugs and alcohol*".

Well that's the rub, see. If someone smokes a bowl before going to bed, they would almost always be fine for work the next day. But drug testing will say that they have THC in their system and thus are a risk, so they'll be canned. "Zero tolerance" isn't always a good policy.

Yep, and the more damaging drugs like heroin and cocaine, leave your system a whole lot faster. Marijuana stores in your fat cells and stays for about a month.

I have personally said this for years, but that wouldn't stop some companies from testing for it, just for safety reasons. I have personal experience with the rules and regulations concerning drug testing and the Department of Transportation. I am the Safety Director for a small flatbed trucking company. To drive for us, you have to have a preemployment drug screen and subject to randoms, as well as an alcohol test. Others have mentioned the issue of driving under the influence. Now imagine if you were driving a vehicle that was the equivalent of 80,000 lbs of death flying going down the highway. Truck drivers are subject to extreme testing requirements and I don't see that changing even if it were legalized.

Fixed.
Not the dreaded "Legalizing pot fixes our economy" talk. That's a circular discussion.
Another upside to legalization is Marijuana sales represent a significant portion of many dealers profits at least in my area. So making it legal really knocks them out of a good chunk of their take.
Dealers just piss me off in general they drag their communities down, most don't give a shit who they sell to, and about every one of them is collecting welfare/government benefits .
