There are people in Biden administration lobbying for federal legalization of cannabis. Looks promising.

Won't apply to CDL drivers though; same as alcohol which is also legal in all USA.
Not allowed to have alcohol in your system while driving a CMV. -
And now a word from my sponsor on the issue.

The Drug Clearinghouse is doing just that,clearing out all the riff-raff who think they can smoke weed/use CBD,etc.and drive a CMV.

Stray_Dog Thanks this. -
Keeping THC as an off duty use banned item is only going to fuel more driver shortages. Like there aren't enough reasons not to continue in this occupation already.
Dangerous job
Long hours
No overtime
Improper benefits
Over regulation. This is just another example
I haven't smoked in quite a few years because of my CDL. I have noticed lately that my employer is having an extremely hard time hiring new people. Pay is going up nearly everywhere else, and the THC thing is one more reason people will look elsewhere for work.
Eventually things wont move anymoreTheIncredibleBulk Thanks this.
