This would be so great, not just for people with legal prescriptions, but also for employers. I was close with people in HR in my last job were afraid of being sued either way. They are in legally unprecedented areas. Let someone who uses a legal and illegal drug work? Or refuse them work for their Rx.
I guarantee employers will still drug test and fire you even if it’s legal. Because most states allow them to fire you for whatever they feel like as long as it doesn’t violate the Civil Rights Act.
Some might try, but it’d probably get litigated. You can’t really get fired if you have a legal prescription (legal recreational use would be different, but the DEA has suggested schedule III status, not recreational legalization). The HR people I know are mostly concerned about their liability (using machinery while high, driving, interacting with customers, etc.)
It is very much “don’t ask, don’t tell”, but legally, it’s still not legal anywhere in the US. Doctors can prescribe all they want, but federally it’s still illegal.

Reminds me of “don’t ask, don’t tell”

Still slippery even legal. It can stay in the system for a bit so someone working “high” is a factor
It would solve so many problems though just have it legal and controled
