> How is this benefiting Amazon? Larger candidate pools is probably the biggest thing. But they might also realize that drug tests for weed aren't really that great because it stays in our bodies for so long compared to other drugs that could be used on a Friday night, and not show up in a drug test taken on the following Monday. > Is it a competitive/recruiting move to have unskilled workers prefer working for Amazon over Walmart/Target?

I can't speak on their behalf, but it could if an employee prefers to work for a company that does not drug test them for cannabis. If their other potential employers are drug testing for cannabis, it's an incentive for the employee to stay.
