It is hypocritical that nations who wants a casino would prohibit their citizens for using the services with some restrictions. This is the whimsical aspect of human nature. They would welcome the "bad stuff" as long as they are excellent money spinners but deny their people from consuming it. As the New York Times reported on 8 Sep 2014, "Even marijuana companies don’t want their employees stoned on the job".
Employers had maintained their zero tolerance policy for marijuana even though the state had legalized it for recreational or medical use. Brandon Coats was fired in 2010 for failing a random drug test, even though he carries a valid medical marijuana card. Coats had been paralyzed since a car crash at the age of 16, and smokes marijuana at night to relieve painful spasms.
One business council representing 3,500 companies in Colorado found that 71 percent kept their old drug-testing policies, and 21 percent actually made them more rigorous. "People were scared they were going to have a stoned work force," said a lawyer for the group, the Mountain States Employers Council.
Should the fear of a drunkard work force arise, these companies will prohibit their staff from consuming beer at home while watching a ball game or having a glass of wine with dinner. The National Football League is another double-faced employer. It generously dispenses prescription pain pills to its players and encourages beer drinking in the stands. It had the cheek to regularly suspends players — including Von Miller of the Broncos and two members of the Seattle Seahawks — for testing positive for marijuana.
