Here, you can actually get weed "legally." All you need to do is apply for a medical marijuana card, and you can get that for almost any reason that translates to "I like weed." I have some friends who got it simply for "stress" -- hopefully, everyone here has taken a midterm at some point.
I think that medical marijuana should be accessible, but that it's currently perscribed for bullshit reasons, like you say. That said, at least they've gone through the hoops.

I guess like every organization sees it differently, but how mines sees it, at least, is that it's a risk management issue. If you're caught with a joint at a chapter in Texas, that's grounds for expulsion. However, here, you don't even need to bother hiding it when the chapter consultant comes.
Assuming you jumped through the hoops.

As for tests: a good portion of jobs available don't do drug tests. Personally speaking, regardless of whether or not I actually use any drugs, I'll comfortably refuse any one that requires testing. Luckily, I haven't actually applied anywhere that tests.
Good luck. It's easy to say that when you haven't actually been faced with that choice.
