The world of employment has made THC a hindrance for determined and dedicated workers. I strongly feel THC doesn't need to remain on drug tests in this millennium. Marijuana has come a long way from when the U.S. first put laws against it. Coming from 1937 when the Marijuana Tax Act was first introduced to now in 2021 where marijuana is slowly becoming legal in the U.S. and, in my opinion, shouldn’t be looked at as illegal anymore. It’s been 84 years since that act has passed, almost a century, and we’re still slowly making progress. I feel that laws to make this legal should’ve happened a long time ago. There are plenty of people who are productive human beings who don’t let their recreational life interfere with their productive life. I am a prime example of one of those people. There have been many times where I have had to stop marijuana use to ascertain lucrative employment. Every time I had to do that I felt defeated before I had even applied for the job. There are other drugs also such as, but not limited to, cocaine and opioids that have a shorter half-life than marijuana does. So somebody who has an addiction to pills can “stop” for maybe just a weekend and take a drug test Monday and have a job just like that even though they will get right back to their addiction and that pill addiction will most likely end up hurting them in the long run. Now somebody who consumes marijuana has to wait way longer for the half-life of the plant to wear off to get the job and they can go right back to their consumption of the plant if they even want to, considering marijuana isn’t even addictive, and they can simply be just fine. I don’t believe in coming to work under the influence of THC, that’s not my argument here. My purpose is not to influence drug use. My sole purpose here is to get THC off of drug tests expeditiously so more job opportunities can be filled. If you ask me, businesses will thrive more if they just simply take this one simple step for us as a nation.
