Why do energy companies care if a guy doing surveying smoked pot a week before he goes out in the field? Who knows. But they do. And their policies have stood up to challenges for decades.

Those policies make sense for an illegal substance, but when pot is legal there's no way the current testing method can work. It would be the equivalent of testing for alcohol and if you had a drink in the last 6 days you'd fail. No way they'll do that.
I wouldn't doubt if these companies already have a plan in place come July 2018.
