The court cases are waiting in the background, he is and should sue them for unlawfull termination. Because they have no right to tell him that he cannot indulge in a Perfectly Legal substance on his own time at his home! (There is no test that tells when it was imbibed, just that you did it in the last 30-45 days). That would be the same thing as telling me that I can't go home and have a Beer. So Joe is in violation of Federal Controlled Substance act, but in compliance with State Law, I don't start teelling me what I already know, that Fed trumps State. I see the Lawsuits already and you can take that to the Bank !!!

It's not an issue at all. Ammendment 64 will still allow an employer the right to restrict the use of marijuana by employees and refuse employment to those that use it. It's kind of like this. Colorado also has a concealed handgun law (right to carry). Don't employers have the right to prohibit guns in the workplace regardless of the law? Sure they do. I'm not sure what some of you guys are thinking.
