I would imagine that a company would be able to choose not to hire you if they found a certain amount in your system, just as they would if you showed up visibly drunk or hungover; It might be legal for you to have done it, but an undesirable quality to some employers. Termination of a job you already have, however, would probably be a different situation if they only found traces of the substance through testing but you hadn't come to work under the influence or publicized your use of it.
