Well, I'm kinda fucked now that cannabis will likely not finish being rescheduled legally. I was hoping to push forward once rescheduling was official with my actual medical certification and go get my commercial drivers' license.
I wanted to do over-the-road trucking, but I consume for PTSD-related insomnia at bed -- that's worse than parking up for the night and downing a suitcase or two of beer and getting up in the morning to drive fully hungover, according to the feds.
Maybe non-CDL hotshotting[1] could be a thing in my future - man with a cargo van sounds adventurous.
[1]"hot shot" cargo - small, expedient packages by truck and van, all those mysterious Sprinters on the highways.
While I'm not a lawyer, if I understand it; once rescheduled as long as I have a prescription for it, it's a valid substance if I "fail" the test. I could be wrong, but that was the interpretation I understand (since you can take opioids and still maintain a CDL - they verify the script after you fail for it).
Alcohol isn’t scheduled, benzos aren’t schedule 1, doesn’t mean you can be strung out on them while driving. I can write a prescription for all, doesn’t mean shit.
Rescheduling doesn’t make you a protected class, a trucking company isn’t obligated to accept that liability.

You must be high if you think federal rescheduling will make trucking jobs stop drug testing.

You’ll be a SAD driver. Doesn’t matter if it’s rescheduled or not, you can’t consume and drive commercially. Period.

I don't know how it works in the states, but in Canada you still get a DUI if driving while high.
MJ stays in your body long after the effects have worn off. You can test positive weeks after consumption.
