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

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!

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..
