fires worker for medical marijuana (employee is out of work – his
unemployment claim hasn’t yet been ruled on – at least he still has his
medical marijuana–of course that’s why they fired him – he uses medical
marijuana because of two separate conditions – he has nausea as a result of
hepatitis C and he has severe back pain because of an injury he suffered
while at work – he was involved in a minor non-injury accident at work a few
months ago, he was tested for marijuana and the test came up positive – he
will probably sue for discrimination – the constitutional amendment
legalizing medical marijuana in Colorado states that employers do not have to
make any accommodations to the use of medical marijuana while at work but is
silent on the subject of use outside of work)
