How does that make sense? What if an employer had a no-alcohol or no-tobacco policy, or just to create a point, no-dairy or no-sugar policy, and tested prior to employment for that? (hypothetically) All this is is the employer dictating what you can and cannot do when you are off the clock, completely on your own time. That seems as if the grasp is being extended a bit. Maybe in a case where housing and everything is provided, and you live on the employers campus or something, but other than that I don't think it's at all fair. Tobacco creates much more of an insurance risk, and alcohol is a much larger problem in the workplace and at home, so why is marijuana the bad guy?
I'm not saying it's ok to come to work high or drunk, because that would affect performance, but if you want to spark a joint at night and relax, why should that be looked at in such a different light as cracking open a cold beer?
