Would it be acceptable to discriminate against people who take these drugs (i.e., not hire them because of their choice to live under the influence of drugs)?
It's as acceptable as hiring a known alcoholic.
If alcohol were being introduced today you'd need a prescription, if it ever met FDA approval at all (he says opening a bottle of Hefeweizen)
I would no more hire someone who came to an interview stoned than I would someone reeking of alcohol, but if someone enjoys a drink outside of work and any drinking they do doesn't interfere with their work, fine with me.
