I'm sure they'll settle to keep things quiet, but I still don't think state medical marijuana laws apply here.

Don't those just allow an affirmative defense of a crime (state level)? What crime did this guy commit? Why would state medical marijuana laws apply in this scenario?
i tried to edit my post above. I also read the complaint, and I guess it's up to the aclu to prove that the guy got fired for being disabled, not just the act of failing a drug test. Or something.
