EMPLOYER BIAS VS. POT

An Associated Industries of Massachusetts spokesman says, "Employers 
have worked pretty hard over the past several decades to create safe 
workplaces, and that includes creating drug-free workplaces," ("Biz 
not buzzed over legal pot," March 29). In fact, however, too many 
employers have worked hard to discriminate against citizens who 
choose to use the extremely popular - and God-given - plant cannabis, or pot.

If employees may use alcohol after work, there is no reason to 
prohibit cannabis. That pot is safer than alcohol is one reason 
Colorado voters ended cannabis prohibition, and one of many reasons 
why Massachusetts voters will likely legalize the plant.
