    with the caveat that I am by no means a lawyer, I'm under the impression that private companies can still dictate standards of conduct at their workplaces. For instance, even though alcohol is legal, Boeing forbids drinking on company property. Amazon, otoh, has sponsored beer busts on some Friday afternoons.

    I'm pretty sure that if Workplace X said pot would still be tested for and against company policy, they could.

    No big pot growers and distributors in Oregon will vote for legalization. They would lose their overpriced business.

    Me too, but it seemed like a good way to pump money into the local economy, same with the casino measures.

    That was kind of my thought on how it work also but there is a major grey area. How much power does your employer have to dictate your personal time, especially if you are engaging in legal behavior during your personal time.

    If you work for a private company that does govt. work and requires clearance, you might be subject to blood tests, drug tests, etc.

    what about a State of Washington government job with no clearance or safety concerns? I could see them not even wasteing the money on that portion of the test.

    Current Oregon law says that, if you are working for a public agency, it is REQUIRED that your company have, and enforce, a drug testing program.

    Oh, and I voted yes, too. It's safer than booze.

    Then the local police close the store because crime has increased there since it opened.
