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.

Its just because the THC stays in your system for longer, whether you're high or not. I think it's anywhere from a week to a month. Obviously those people aren't stoned anymore, but it's still in their system and if it's flagged there's no way to tell if it was 2 hours ago or 2 days ago. So they have to adopt zero tolerance.
