As in, if you were applying to delivery positions but you know they'll test for cannabis, would you even apply / interview? What about in a jurisdiction where the drug is recreationally legal?

I worked for a tech company in a legal state 5-10 years back. There were a lot of stoners there because most people couldn't handle their bullshit in a sober state of mind and the company just wanted asses in seats to fulfill their contract obligations. I'm pretty sure Subway would go out of business if the weed disappeared. Your best bet is to make good enough friends with someone who works there (as a normal low-level employee) that you can ask an honest question without getting narced on. At my tech job, I treated the stoners with the same mild indifference as everyone else. Let me do my job, pretend to be normal, and don't do anything I can't ignore. Do not brag about smoking weed in front of management or anyone who makes enough money to care. The only people who got pinched did it to themselves.
