Cali-Based Companies & Drug Tests

[bloads]

If a company is based in California (or any other state with medicinal marijuana) it seems like they're setting themselves up for lawsuits if they deny employment due to someone's legal choice of treatment for their disability/ailment/medical-condition.

Can we have a little discussion about this?

The California Supreme Court already decided this issue a few years ago and ruled that medical marijuana patients have no legal protection regarding employment. This legal precedent remains in place, at least in California. I believe that Arizona's medical marijuana regulations provide protection for patients, but am not aware of any other MMJ states that do.

It would be very nice and a step in the right direction to change this for sure.

I think it will remain as it is until a test comes out to determine metabolites vs actively under the influence of thc. Once that can be split we could win the fight in court.
