*** Health Care Profession Question ***

[SampsonSimpsonZ]

I currently live in a state where Cannabis is illegal and Im about to go into the Health Care Profession (Rad Tech). Ive been smoking for about 2 1/2 yrs and did so all throughout my schooling.

So heres a couple questions....

1. If you live where its legal AND have a Cannabis card is it STILL legal to use while in the Health Care Profession?

2. Since its not legal where Im at and pretty much everyplace does random drug testing, then theres no way I can continue to smoke and work is there?

1. Most employers do not recognize medical marijuana laws and will terminate you on the spot for a dirty sample
2. That's pretty much correct.

That doesnt seem ethical lol A prescription is a prescription. Thats crazy they can fire you over something your medically/professionally prescribed to. Hopefully not ALL places are like this. I was under the impression and have heard that if your prescribed it than your prescribed it. Still getting fired kinda defeats the purpose of it bein "legal" (

That's where your wrong... Marijuana is an illegal drug and until it is completely legalized nation wide, employers will continue drug test for it.

since you are in the place where cannabis is not legalised, you should not supposed to use it. as well your employers will terminate you from your job. so better avoid it.
