In time it will become less taboo, but there are going to be lots of scenarios and circumstances to consider. I'm an aircraft maintainer, do you think it's ok for me to blaze on weekends?
I would feel the exact same about it as I would about alcohol.

We've been discussing it around the office and the expectation is that it will be treated like alcohol, if your are under the influence same standard. But with pot staying in your system there will be hurdles. And no one wants to be the guy out of work defending an unjust firing.
This is something that really concerns me as a lot of employers who I’ve spoken to about this hadn’t even considered the fact that their drug and alcohol policies need to be updated to reflect the change. Mind you there is still time and in my personal experience once these employers have been made aware of it they’ve recognized that changes need to be made and have taken steps to do so.
