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.
When you said, 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.
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.
