Our insurance company requires us to drug test. I'll ask applicants of they require additional time prior to the test.
It's a dumb standard but there is nothing I can do about it.

I've noticed the phenomenon of government getting more involved as well. Past a very limited point, restrictions on workers only serve to make the economy less efficient.
I also suspect a lot of the problems with unemployment and discouraged workers come from workers who can't pass a drug test. While many companies fully support barring pot-smokers from working for them, that can mostly be blamed on the policies of insurance companies. Insurance itself is only a problem because of a judicial system where any idiot who slips on some stairs or spills their coffee can take you for millions.
If I was an employer I would not want to hire a meth-head, but for some basic office work I wouldn't care less about some guy to smokes weed or drops some acid on his own time, as long as their work was good. Its just unfortunate that insurance companies treat all of those people as being the same level of liability.
