Should Medical Marijuana Patients Be Denied Work? (Take the poll!)

Loading …

It has always bothered me that at most working facilities, Medical Marijuana is not accepted as medicine, therefore still being considered a dangerous drug. What all this means is that employers are faced with a real dilemma. They are expected to work with their ill or injured employees. Yet at the same time, they have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace - but now, with the presence of a drug that’s not well understood. The two court cases may clarify the balance of these responsibilities.

This leads to a person either getting fired, or not hired at all. When jobs require drug tests, and find that THC (the main chemical in Marijuana) has been found in the test, Medical Marijuana cannot be used as an excuse.

There are exceptions due to working environment and are understandable and of course many jobs require that no medicine that can cause ones abilities to be impaired to be used in the working area due to machinery or something related in that nature. But many people are not even able to get jobs due to this.

I just really want to find out who really does believe that Marijuana should just be kept for home medicinal use, or should be accepted by the public and the working community as a medical requirement by a person. Take the poll and vote, lets see what everyone thinks about this one!
