More companies are nixing pre-employment marijuana testing.
The tightening US job market and the legalization of marijuana in some states is prompting many companies to relax their drug testing policies.As a result, some companies are dropping marijuana from pre-screening drug tests for potential employees.
For decades, pre-employment drug testing has been a requirement at large American companies.
