On Jan. 24, the California Supreme Court upheld the firing of a medical marijuana patient from his job because he tested positive for marijuana in a company drug test.
For patients who do not have to undergo the onerous and humiliating ritual of providing a urine specimen in a cup or you will be fired or not hired, this ruling has no direct impact.

But for the many people whose livelihoods depend on being able to pass a drug screen, this is a serious blow to their health and welfare.

Like law enforcement's successful attempt to terrorize local elected officials by threatening to arrest them if they pass laws allowing medicinal marijuana in their communities, law enforcement has now succeeded in getting business owners to carry out their prohibitionist agenda by threatening them with loss of federal contracts, police raids and lawsuits if they allow their employees to use marijuana medicinally. At least that is what lawyers representing business owners in the case claimed in their legal briefs arguing that they had no choice but to fire a legal medical marijuana patient for testing positive for marijuana.

In a 5-2 decision, the California Supreme Court unfortunately bought into this absurd argument. I imagine their legal reasoning has some basis in jurisprudence, but that doesn't mean it's rational.
