MM Patients Can Now Be Fired For Using Medical Marijuana Even with Doctor Approval

CA Supreme Court Rules Employers Can Discriminate Against Workers Using Medical Marijuana

Jan 24th, 2008. The California Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that employers can drug test and fire workers for using medical marijuana. The court dismissed a lawsuit brought by Gary Ross under the state's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) arguing that he had been wrongfully denied employment by RagingWire Telecommunications on account of testing positive for past use of marijuana on a urine test.

The court took a narrow interpretation of Prop. 215, ruling that it did not create a general right to use medical marijuana, but only protected patients from criminal sanction for possession or cultivation of marijuana.

Sponsors of Prop 215 contested this interpretation. "Prop. 215 was intended to give patients the same right to use medical marijuana as other, legal prescription drugs," said California NORML Coordinator Dale Gieringer, a co-author of the initiative.

Assemblyman Mark Leno announced that he will sponsor a bill to restore workers' rights to use medical marijuana. "Today's California Supreme Court ruling strikes a serious blow to patientsπ rights," stated Leno. " Through the passage of Proposition 215 in 1996 and SB 420 in 2004, the people of California did not intend that patients be unemployed in order to use medical marijuana."

In the meantime, the court's decision leaves the door open for discrimination against medical marijuana users via drug urine tests, even though not a single FDA study has ever proven that urine testing is either safe or effective in ensuring job safety. Text of the court's opinion in Ross v.Ragingwire:

Excerpt from majority opinion by Justice Kathryn Werdegar:

"Plaintiff's position might have merit if the Compassionate Use Act gave marijuana the same status as any legal prescription drug. But the act's effect is not so broad. No state law could completely legalize marijuana for medical purposes because the drug remains illegal under federal law (21 U.S.C. flfl 812, 844(a)), even for medical users (see Gonzalez v. Raich & U.S. v Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative). Instead of attempting the impossible, as we shall explain, California's voters merely exempted medical users and their primary caregivers from criminal liability under two specifically designated state statutes. Nothing in the text or history of the Compassionate Use Act suggests the voters intended the measure to address the respective rights and obligations of employers and employees. "



Excerpt from dissent by Joyce Kennard (joined by Carlos Moreno)

The majority's decision leaves many Californians with serious illnesses just two options: continue receiving the benefits of marijuana use "in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or [] other illness" ... and become unemployed, giving up what may be their only source of income, or continue in their employment, discontinue marijuana treatment, and try to endure their chronic pain or other condition for which marijuana may provide the only relief. Surely this cruel choice is not what California voters intended when they enacted the state Compassionate Use Act. Nor is this cruel choice something that the FEHA permits. One of the FEHA's stated purposes is "to protect and safeguard the right and opportunity of all persons to seek, obtain, and hold employment without discrimination or abridgement on account of . . . physical disability . . . [or] medical condition . . . ."

[However, Kennard also ruled that employers could not be sued for wrongful discharge in violation of public policy for firing medical marijuana users:

I agree with the majority, however, that because federal law prohibits marijuana possession (21 U.S.C. flfl 812, 844(a)), discharging an employee for off- duty, physician-recommended marijuana use will not support a claim of wrongful discharge in violation of public policy (see Tameny v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (1980) 27 Cal.3d 167). ]

____________
Most jobs, especially good paying jobs drug test. So this ruling basically puts EVERY medical marijuana patient at risk of losing their job if they use their medicine (which was prescribed by a doctor). This is bullshit!

Boo hoo.
I am a patient, I do not have any "special" rights that anyone else doesn't have.
I am soooo sick of the movement being solely focused on "patients rights", what the hell does that mean? It's bull shit and is not going to do anything to advance legalizaion or decriminalization, which is the right thing to do. The medical marijuana movement has been proped up and supported by George Soros, and his goonies. Most of the people that buy into this argument and advocate for it are very telling, they believe that "certain people" should have a special set of rules. That's wrong. This is the same thinking that gets you affirmative action (which is a racist policy) and hate crime legislation that most guilt ridden white bread democrats make themselves support so they feel less guilty about how they really feel, or they are really brainless and are just "true believers".

As for companies abiding by federal law, yeah, good idea. That is their right, you have the right to look for a different job, find something that fits your lifestyle, whatever. Figure it out, if you are a patient that truely believes that you should get "special rights" then you are truly clueless. Why don't you care about anyone that just recreationally uses marijuana losing their jobs? You as a patient, including myself, are not entitled to squat just because of a medical condition, that's not how life in these United States works folks. Good thing we live in a free country where anyone can start their own business at anytime. You can also choose where you work. Personally I am glad that this guy lost the law suit, I hate the entitlement mentality, and unfortunately that is the prevailing attitude out here in southern california.

i have to agree. employers have the right to set their own rules and standards, when it comes to their business practice. i heard of a guy trying to sue a production company because they didn't let him smoke bongloads on set - that is just RIDICULOUS. so i agree with no "special rights" comment.

So lets say we counter this by making it illegal. Whats stopping the employer from firing you because they dont like you or the image you are presenting, or for an even dumber reason?

Remember that silly little thing that says you can be terminated without notice for any or no reason? Read that next time.

Does anyone ever read the fine print on their contracts? Or do you passively sign everything?

Beat me to it buddy.

yeah, this is nonsense really. You can't be dismissed for taking migraine tabs or painkillers, alcohol? or valium, all of which have a comparably identical or greater effect on brain chemistry in comparison to MMJ.Anabolics Steroids?



MMJ , Supress! Immediately! MMJ Is the devil, satan! etc. Sigh.
Same BS spouted out in the early 20th century, reefer madness! one puff and your gone'

Peace,

Yes you can be. Go ahead, down a fifth of jack and go to work and see what happens.:D

hopefully most companies will just send you to rehab classes for a couple weeks and you can keep your job. its cheaper for the company to rehab you to can keep you than hire someone else who probably gets stoned anyways and wasn't unlucky like you who popped on a piss test.

what about before you have the job? can they discriminate against mmj patients? would the prescription show up on a background check or anything like that?

If it's there policy, and they state it prior to employment then that's their right. IT'S ILLEGAL.

There are alcholics that will have severe medical withdrawl that could cause death should they not drink, they are not entitled to drink at work. If an employer chooses to allow it then that's on them, but it is and should remain a choice. This is still a free society. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SPECIAL RIGHTS BECAUSE YOU USE MARIUANA FOR MEDICINE!! The idea that you are is EXACTLY what is completely wrong with the MMJ movement in California and a clear indicator of the far left political affiliation that members of this movement share, for the most part. If they have a policy you don't care for then CHOOSE to do something else! Work somewhere else. START YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Then see how happy you are when the government tells you that you have to hire "certain" people for the business that you started, and invested your money in, and take the risk to run. Or that you can't fire someone that is violating your company policy. People get fired over plenty of other issues that they do that are COMPLETELY LEGAL. Why do you think you can violate federal law and MAKE your employer be ok with that? The issue isn't whether or not employers have the right, they do. It should be over the prohibtion of marijuana itself period.:mad:

People that use medical marijuana are entitled to the same rights as people using any other medicine. No special rights. They are not in a special group. People that use medical marijuana should be treated just like people that use Vicodin, Aspirin, or Xanax.

Pill painkillers should not be taken before work, depending on the job, and neither should marijuana, still, depending on the job.

Drug tests are an invasion of privacy.

8182KSKUSH - What I find so interesting about your posts is how you are so quick to criticize somebody standing up for freedom in America, as if we should never demand such a crazy thing from our government :rolleyes:

The whole war on drugs is a war on personal freedom, government doesn't give you freedom, freedom is a natural instinct and the constitution respects this. However, so many people now ignore the constitution that they forget we don't get our freedom from the government, but that we get freedom naturally and our government has no authority to take away our freedom. That is what the constitution is, our defense of freedom and the war on drugs is a war on our freedom.

If you don't understand how the war on drugs is a direct cause to the problems associated with medical marijuana, then you will never be able to change things for the better. The reason there are problems is because nobody is standing up for personal freedom, and we think we need a law telling us what drugs are legal and what are not. The reality is that all drugs are legal in a truly free society, and it is up to our own free will to decide for ourselves what we should or should not consume.

The government has no place in making personal decisions in people's lives, that is not what a government that preaches freedom does, but this country preaches freedom at the same time they take it away, and people like you don't even think it's worth pointing out the hypocrisy, rather, you support this corrupt government dictatorship with the false flag of freedom draped over the cover.

I firmly reject any such ideas as any true patriot should. Live free or die baby :) I swear I'm going to steal that state motto from New Hampshire and make it California's. Too many damn socialists in this state, need some true patriots to fight back! :D

With all due respect,
What about my freedom as a small business owner or for that matter as a c.e.o of a fortune 250 company. It's my business, I own it, I make the policies. That ruling would be exactly the government legislating my personal freedom to it's death. Taking it away. Your personal liberties and freedoms cannot infringe on the rights of others, that is in the constitution.

Fact is, we don't live in a "truely free society", fact is no one on earth does. America is far from perfect. Full of contradictions, I am a great example. I believe in my heart more than anything on this earth that marijuana should be free and legal for anyone that wants to use it for any reason. I am sure that is a shared belief by many here. Wouldn't that be perfect! Fact is, we live in this world right here right now. We have to work within the confines of our actual world! No matter what we think. And while I think that marijuana should be free and legal for everyone, I do not think that cocaine, heroin, or any other drugs as currently defined by our society should be. Yeah idealy that would be great, and I agree that people should have the right to be as stupid as they want, and if they want to smoke crack everyday then let them. I would love that. But that will never be reality. We have to accept what we are facing now and find a way to work with it. I have a deep fundamental promblem with anyone that is going to infringe on someone else's rights and not bat an eye. Whether we like it or not we live in the "gray". Our society has already established the things that it does and does not accept, and to simply say that society or the government if you will is taking away something that I feel is a right, so I am going to do the exact same thing to someone else? That is not the right thing. No the employers can determine any standards they want, luckily we are free to choose which employers we want to work for, or if we want to BE the employer. No one is "entitled" to a job. You can have a job if I want to give you a job, and if the government is going to tell me different, then I believe we have a serious promblem with losing liberty.:thumbsup:

I'm duplicating my post from the other thread on this subject...


of course it's illegal period by federal law, even if state's have enacted legislation granting specific exclusion for those individuals who have consulted a physician and came to the conclusion that marijuana is the best medication for them...This is America...Federalism? ha...that doesn't exist in america any more.

Point being, these people are obviously making their lives better, and as I've mentioned, likely using it to enable themselves to be more productive..they aren't treated like everyone else when it comes to the enforcement of marijuana laws, and they most certainly shouldn't be treated as are your regular every day citizens when it comes to their use, and marijuana testing by their employers.

Let's put it in this sense, people who fail for opiates in their systems can show their prescription from a doctor, and no biggie, it's okay because your doctor says so. Why the fuck should marijuana be treated any differently in states where it's approved for medical use? People can INGEST pain pills at work as long as they have a prescription. I can understand how they wouldn't want someone to light up there at work, but they shouldn't be punished for using their medication by being terminated or discriminated, just because it's marijuana and 'against federal law period.' State law says it's a valid medication, the employers within those states should have to honor such laws.

And for the record man, in a country where it's 'safe' to smoke tobacco and get the higher mortality rate, emphysema and all sorts of cancers, and drink alcohol until I have a disease called alcoholism, but I can't smoke marijuana because it's too dangerous?? Something that wont kill me...I'm sorry, but we already have lost our liberty bro...I think it's yet another loss of liberty for the individual improving their quality of life with marijuana, by depriving them of a job simply because of how they have to consume their medication...Marijuana IS medicine, I don't care what the fuck the feds say, if I live in a medical state, I should damn well be able to work just as anyone else with a valid prescription medication of opiates.

Even this forum has rules, and "censors" certian things. Where is the outcry for personal freedom? Sorry I think you are just a little far out there. I don't think you know what a dictatorship is either.:wtf:

No they don't, not even if it was legal. I am a valid medical patient, I have a job, and I have my own business. I don't need any special help. I am not entitled to it either. Neither are you nor is anyone else.

I would again say that I am a medical patient, I live in a medical state. I have a job. I have a small business as well. Are you telling me you can't work because you have a fucking recomendation for marijuana? :wtf: If you are then you are full of shit. You don't want to work. Is that what it is? Pretty much here in this country there is so much fucking oppurtunity that people are coming here by the 10s of millons, (37 millon last year) to work and earn livings. You have to want to NOT WORK to not have a job. Are you all aware that you can choose where you work? It's true! Jesus Fucking Christ people!

What gave you the perception I was seeking help? Or that I didn't want to work?? I'm saying people who use marijuana as medicine should have equal rights in those states with legislation recognizing marijuana to have medical benefit as do those who are prescribed opiates. And for your information, I'm in a state with no medical laws.

For the record, I've had the same employer for 2 years now. However, some of the best paying jobs are those that do marijuana screening, and I say marijuana screening because that's the only drug that shows up for longer than a few days. If I had a prescription I'd damn sure want to have it honored as medication by my employer if I was screened for marijuana at work.

People who have a valid recommendation for medical marijuana in the 12 states should be treated in the same regards to drug testing as are those who fail for opiates. It's obvious that in the medical marijuana sense the states are more respectful of the will of the people, and the federal government's stance on marijuana shouldn't affect the thinking towards it in those states.

It gave me the impression that for some reason you could not work specifically. Sorry I miss understood, I understand you are speaking hypothetically.
You are wrong though. People choose to use medical marijuana knowing that it is against federal law. When they do that they choose all the consequences period. Whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter, that's reality. :)

Employers do have the right to discriminate who they hire and who works for them. They can't discriminate for "certian" reasons, but MMJ hardly qualifies as a civil liberty. Choosing to use it is not the same as your race, religion, sex preference, gender, ect...
That is why employers can discriminate. I use MMJ, don't get me wrong. But it is a plant. Current federal laws just make a bigger issue than it should be. But employers can and do discriminate and should have the right to.:thumbsup:

IT'S THEIR GOD DAMN BUSINESS!:D

Not so much reality as it is a violation of the constitution..."The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

I don't know...I guess for some reason it makes more sense to follow the constitution...Apparently most people don't see it that way though..

But I'll guarantee you they don't discriminate on individuals using opiate-based prescription pain medication...I see it as more of a matter of compassion..Someone who uses marijuana to treat pain is just as efficient of a worker as is someone who uses opiates..And perhaps even a more efficient worker if marijuana is more effective than are the conventional meds..

Constitution huh?
Does that apply to everyone or just people that smoke weed?
Does the constitution apply to someone that owns their own company? Because if it doesn't that's where I am all messed up I guess.:D

It is a matter of personal choice and compassion. I know if I wanted a higher paying job that I knew I had to piss clean for, I would piss clean.
You could always start your own company and run it exactly the way you want to. Anyone could, that's why I don't agree with you at all. Maybe some of us have, maybe we would like to not have our personal liberties trampled on. The constitution applies to everyone equally I thought?:wtf:

Thank god, my job is cool with it.:rastasmoke:

The jobs that dont require tests wouldnt care as long as you are making the company profit. And if they try to fire you soley over this then they most likely have something against you and you were gonna get fired anyways

what about this....

i work at wallmart for roughly 6 months and stocking shelves, got tired of that so went on to maintenance and working with floor cleaner and wax and other shitty chemicalls for a bit and we coat the clothing floors with floor cleaner/then wax.. after the 1'st time doing this i fealt all messed up like stoned but in a WAY more intense way, my lips turned blue, and i couldnt taste anything for a week... so i end up haveing to go to 2 hospitals 1 being the drug test and the other is an asessment for 3 days i had to stay there with them stairing at me the whole time..

then i was transported back to my work and this new manager takes me in and askes me if he is stupid ? and then i get fired.. for what i ask.. he sais you tell me, i say i didnt do anything wrong so you tell me.. then he askes me if he is stupid again and said im fired..


i ask a 3'rd time "why am i being fired" and he finally sais for gross misconduct and also you have been useing marijuana.. "ok give me proof of this acusation" he sais your test results came back positve for a VERY small ammount of marijuana and other bullshit he read off the list (is it possible to have test results come back positve for certain chemicalls if breathed in ?).. then walks me to the door.. but i know it was the floor cleaners fault haha ! nothing can be done about it now though o whell.

o yea i was also stuck with 1 of those intervenises and that sucked big time:(

OMG if thats true, then 2/3 of the workforce in the state will out of a job. Stupid idea. What if a CEO or vice chair uses MMJ? Companies will close down or go through some kind of fucked up changes. Stupid law.

I would have told him "yes, you are stupid and thank you for firing me because i dont want to work for a stupid employer. Gonna get me a better career."
