Man sues employer for discrimination, fired because he uses medical marijuana.
Law questions like “Will marijuana affect my status at my job?” will have to be answered in the courts that allow for medical marijuana.
The driving question will have to be answered as well. Right now, anybody who medicates in a state where medical marijuana is legal and drives a vehicle are subject to Driving Under the Influence of Drugs charges if pulled over, whether or not they are actually under the influence or not. And pot smokers know, marijuana will show up in drug screens long after one has ceased use.
Either that, or the courts simply won’t even bother to answer these questions, as marijuana is illegal under any circumstances by federal law.
