Um actually, in the US you can get fired for THC in your system for recreational use. Some states, even if it’s medical.
Yes it’s bullshit, but that’s the problem with it not being federally legal and companies in multiple states.

ACKTUALLY, whether or not you can get fired is a state issue, and some states such as California provide statutory protection for employees who use cannabis. It’s true that there are some states where you can get in trouble, but the federal laws are not being enforced by the Biden administration, who has given the green light on cannabis consumption and rescheduling, so there’s really no single answer that applies to the whole United States, and your mileage may vary.
NY has similar provisions, as section 201-D of the labor law specifically prohibits discrimination based on cannabis usage, with exceptions.
Exceptions generally are for businesses that receive federal funding, CDL drivers in accordance with 49 CFR Part 382, and non-employees (contractors, students, volunteers).
