“Current and former L.A. Times staff say it’s hypocritical to test some employees for cannabis while allowing others to cover the industry and consume cannabis on the job. Reporters that spoke to L.A.

Instead, they say it puts new hires on edge and possibly even discourages people from applying for positions with The Times in the first place.” —
