I’M A MEDICAL MARIJUANA USER, CAN MY CA EMPLOYER FIRE ME FOR DRUG USE?

In California, many employees are given prescriptions to smoke pot for medical reasons. If you have a legal prescription from your doctor that enables you to smoke marijuana, you might be curious if your employer can fire you for testing positive on a drug test. Medical marijuana is a hot topic in Los Angeles. The law is currently not clear about whether an employer has the right to not hire or fire someone because of their drug use, legal or not.

Therefore, if you are a CA employee who believes that you have been discriminated against by your CA employer because you smoke medical marijuana, which you have a prescription for, call an experienced employment attorney. Your rights are protected under CA and federal law. In this economy, it is important to do everything you can to protect your rights as a CA employee and your job.
