Can I be fired by a company for failing a arbitrary drug theory test even if i hold a cannabis card ?
I want to apply for a union job, but i am a regular weed smoker. I have already be clean for 30 days, and i know i will pass the first drug screening but i want to know if they can fire me for failing a random drug audition if were to start smoking again.
Don't bother commenting on how marijuana is bad for you or how i shouldn't be smoking etc. I have see 2 different doctors who both have confirmed i have insomnia and ADHD. Both are legitimate reason to have a card.
Answers:
They can probably fire you, sadly, unless you take them to court which probably wouldn't be worth it.
The job (any job) has no obligation to honor your cannabis card no situation what state you live in. It is completely at their discretion whether failing the drug test yet have the card is okay to them. You employer may not agree with it (probably why they do drug testing in the first place) and not adopt the cannabis card. It is up to the employer and they do have legal and legitimate basis to fire you if you fail a drug test even though you have a card.
Unfortunately in California, yes.
Why? Because it is another promise the governator fail to honor (you can see him smoking pot adjectives over youtube.)
And until last year they could take away your driver's license. But the supremer court of California put a stop to that (the one good ruling they made this year.)
Unfortunately, there is no legal protection for medicinal cannabis users. It would entirely depend on the company. It's another reason it should be completely court.
Call the company and ask what their policy is. Source(s): http://www.cannabisismedicine.com/news/s…
I don't think that it really matters, I ponder they can still fire you.
I'm surprised that you have a cannabis card for ADHD...my boyfriend has it, too, and I always conjecture him smoking makes it much, much worse.
YOU CAN GET A CARD TO BUY WEED FOR HAVING ADHD AND INSOMIA?!?!?!!??!!? Dude thats awsome ugh... Idk consult your grouping supervisor. Show him the card be like "Dude I gotta get stoned or else I cant sleep and I lunge off the ******* walls"!! He will be like "Well that makes sense the card is valid and everything dosnt look approaching a problem" Maybe he will add "If you can get me some ill go by ur test for you" ;)
You guys are douchebags come on ur answering questions at 1:14 am... At least I own a reason because I cant sleep. Source(s): Awsomeness..
That is tricky, but I can soundly say, Yes, you would get fired, because it is still illegal.
