What if an employer request a drug test from a mmj patient? Can employer deny employment because of it? I have a job interview and curious as to what will happen if i need to get a drug test. Should i be upfront about it or not say anything at all?

Most companies follow Federal Guidelines. I wouldn't say anything and do what I can to beat the test. :( I'm worried about the same thing. I used to work for Comcast until they moved out of the state. They followed Federal Guidelines and did fire a medical marijuana patient in Albuquerque.Quote:

This is all too new for anybody to know for sure what will happen....
employer can do whatever they want to do. there is no law that says they have to hire you if you have a mm card and can legally smoke.Quote:
