Wouldn't the companies be benefited by using blood tests since they will return positive after longer periods of time? Basically, don't blood tests allow companies to say "sorry no workers compensation - you were high when that beam cut off your leg"?

But also, I have mixed feelings about this from a moral/ethics perspective. I think it's going to do more harm than good by making testing easier and more prevalent (we already have blood tests for cases where someone was injured by a driver, etc.). The good thing is it may save some regular users from being labeled as impaired versus a blood test. Outside of that small case it all seems bad for society to me..
