> You can completely be responsible enough to enjoy some cannabis on personal time, while also doing your 40 hours productively.

The problem is one of information from the POV of the employer: they are ultimately responsible for what the worker does on the job.

Even if P(no problem | drug use) = 0.99, the amount of negligent liability they will incur if an accident does occur, the person was intoxicated, and the employer could have checked for drugs, but didn't, is probably so high that they can't take that route.
