Sure, you can test people's reactions, but some people are just slow no matter what. I would think some employers would simply have a "no THC" policy, regardless of legality, since there is no way to know how recently it was used. Some employers have a "no alcohol within x number hours prior to work" policy, but that's something that can be tested.

But again, theres legal problems in prohibiting someone from doing something thats illegal on their own time. Thats what I meant when I said 'policy has to be in line with the law'...
You cant have a policy that dissalows people from doing legal things on their own time. If you give companies that power, whats next? No smoking cigs on your time? No riding motorcycles on your time?
Punishing someone for doing something legal. That opens up a whole new slew of lawsuits.
