Since this is FT, imagine if your pilot smelled of pot as s/he entered the aircraft (the smell does cling to clothing, after all). They might just get pulled from the flight (can't afford to take chances) and find themselves peeing into a cup. Depending on just how much smoke infiltrated into their room, they might fail the test - possibly with serious consequences to their career.
You do realize that someone smoking pot in an adjacent room is not going to lead to one testing positive for THC, right?
And that being in a room adjacent to pot smoking isn't going to make your clothes reek of pot, right?
