This is where you can run into a problem As MMJ is still a class 1 drug, doctors can not prescribe it. They can only recommend it. Hopefully it will get downgraded soon so docs can prescribe.

Well the problem with either of those is the fact that the state of Arizona is not a medical marijuana state. I've been trying to find recent articles on the internet about Arizona's laws and concerns about decriminalizing it for medical use and so far I cannot find anything. No bills, no petitions and bailouts. This is becoming really ridiculous

I never said that I would consume "Drugs". That's just what the other security officer stated - "Nope, but that still doesn't mean you should go off and start doing drugs" Also I can't just go to a doctor because I no longer have one. After the state of Arizona took my State Health Care plan away from me I no longer have health insurance nor my doctor, hell I can't even go to my dentist anymore due to the cut off. Even if I did have a doctor and I was then prescribed some form of medication I would not be able to consume any type of medication prescribed if it's mentally or physically altering - "The only exception is medication prescribed by your licensed physician and which medication may not impair bodily or mental functions required to respond to your assignment."

Although it was advise from you which I greatly appreciate but I'm against disability but not in general. I'm not disabled to preform and type of task due to joint pains in my knees. I can still walk a great distance, run a great distance, sit, crouch and just about anything else physical but it's the pain that is the problem from all of that and the enormous amount of popping and grinding in my left knee also tends to make it even more painful. Now if I was at the point that I could no longer walk due to some sort of knee failure then disability would be accepted in my eyes. Disability is for those who are disabled from a certain critical reason. My mother is on disability because she is blind in her right eye yet she can walk straight and drive, which is pretty dangerous and I don't quite understand how the state allows her to still drive because in all honesty she drives like she is drunk due to her blindness and also the fact that she has road rage.

But anyways if I was to be randomly drug tested and I came up positive for THC and was then terminated I'm curious to know if I could fight that possibly? If I stated that I smoke during my off days and at nights before I go to sleep, they can't possibly hold that against me can they? What I do on my freewill at home is of no one else's concern nor business and for my work to terminate me that would be their wrong doings correct?

I've had a couple of people tell me just to go on and smoke but I want to have something back me up just in case I would get drug tested. Now I'm not paranoid I'm just trying to find my way out of this, there is always a loop hole in anything and everything. One friend of mine said that he once had this job back in Kansas and he was told that they do random drug testing. He told me they never drug tested him for the entire that he worked there and he just kept smoking. He said the only time that you could get drug tested is if you were to be hurt while on the job and as long as I don't hurt myself then there is nothing to worry about. In his opinion "Random Drug Testing" is just a fear factor to keep us all controlled so that we can't have any fun."

I greatly appreciate both of your advise and if anything I'll still keep these in mind just in case something is to happen or change but if anyone else wouldn't mind dropping me some more advise then that'd be great!
