New York City and Nevada will make it illegal to skip over job seekers because of previous pot use. Lawmakers in both jurisdictions recently passed new laws, among the first of their kind, that set guidelines for how employers can treat prospective employees who used marijuana prior to taking a job.

But they could spell the beginning of the end for a drug test that’s been commonplace for decades, as lawmakers elsewhere loosen their own weed restrictions and employers take a closer look at the policies they have in place when considering a job candidate's pot use.
Both medical and recreational pot are legal in Nevada. Not so in New York. While medical marijuana is legal, recreational marijuana failed to gather enough support for legalization, though thefor municipalities to move forward with decriminalization of possession of small amounts of marijuana.
