The answer?

The law doesn't prohibit it and he passed all the tests.

Um... so he made some mistakes in the past. The 70's- that was 30 years ago... a lot can change in 30 years. Drug possession was still 10 years ago- that's a long time.

More important I think is that he passed all the tests and presumably they test drivers for drugs once in a while, right? Doing his job is more useful a gauge than what he did in the past. He could have learned better since then.

That just made me giggle. I can imagine the experiments. And the surprise when you conclude, hey, burning that much fuel under an overpass really does melt things!
