Legal pot and strip clubs

I think legalized pot will be a boon to strip clubs! Most companies (the one I work for included) had a strict no tolerance policy concerning drugs and alcohol to the point of random testing. If you test positive it does not matter who you are you are out the door without unemployment since the discharge is justifiable. This policy has been tested in the courts in Colorado and upheld. Some of the fast for chains, retail stores and other places around here now test as condition of employment. Legalized pot is going to create an entire group of young people that are not employable at responsible businesses.
(Businesses are required by law to carry workman's compensation insurance in case an employee get injured on the job. Most workman's compensation insurance companies insist on a testing policy because an impaired employee is an accident waiting to happen. I know I do not want a stoned or drunk co worker anywhere near me on the job. If an employer knowingly has an impaired employee on property and he/she causes an injury to themselves or others the employer can be held liable civilly and criminally.)
(Please note the now the first thing required for ANY on the job incident is a drug test and yes alcohol is a drug)
The net result is that more stoners are unemployed and stripping likely won't require a test therefore a larger pool of girls to work in clubs looking for money to spend at the pot store down the street.

My club attendance became far more regular when clubs became smoke-free. I don't care for pot smell, either. I don't necessarily think it should be illegal to use, but I don't like it myself.
Maybe just a pot smoking patio for those who want to use?
The only drug I consume on a regular basis is alcohol, which is legal. But I think the War on Drugs is counter-productive and cruel. I take the libertarian position that adults should be free to consume whatever they want.
What do you do about stoned/drunk on the job? A true libertarian would retain the right to get rid of the stoner. I Europe they now designate addiction as a "disease" so you cannot fire them.
I support decriminalizing pot, but not so much legalizing it. Bear in mind, I don't know how tobacco is legal, given the well documented addictive nature and health effects. To effectively legalize pot, there needs to be a cost-efficient and reliable means of testing for marijuana intoxication just as there is for alcohol. That would allow responsible adults to use marijuana responsibly.

And there will never be such a thing as a marijuana free strip club. That's because smoking is only one way to get high. With the variety of edibles, concentrates, etc. available today, I can get high any time, anywhere, and nobody will have any clue that is what I'm doing.
