Like I don’t even think it’s a pharma lobby issue anymore. They’ll just acquire nascent marijuana companies. The people around Biden are just that ideological?

Academia is a bubble, and trust me, they could get rid of you all in an instant. I've never had a job that didn't require drug testing, and I've found that that's the case in pretty much every job that actually makes society run - think utilities, healthcare, public works, manufacturing. The things that people need to live.
We have a massive trucker shortage right now, and no one is even suggesting that we drop THC testing from the DoT. That should tell you where we're at.
No one's suggesting that because the "trucker shortage" is a scam. They've been doing it like clockwork for decades now.
What they did do is manage to get age restrictions lifted and some overtime regulations relaxed, which is all the trucking companies wanted.
