it would still make sense for employers to test job applicants for marijuana use.

It might in certain specific situations. More general application would have to balance the cost against the benefits. The direct cost of the test being only a small part of the cost. Requiring employees or perspective employees to take the test would act at least to a small extent (and in some cases not so small) as a disincentive to take the job. I've never used any illegal narcotic but while I wouldn't automatically reject a job that had such a requirement it would be something of a disincentive to me. If two jobs where otherwise equally desirable I would take the job that didn't require testing.
