MEDICAL MARIJUANA: NO ACCOMMODATION

摘要

Employers in the 13 states that have medical marijuana laws will want to pay attention to the result of a recent ruling by the Montana Supreme Court.rnThe court said an employer could fire an employee who tested positive for marijuana use, without breaking the law. The employee used the drug outside work hours to control pain, under a doctor's supervision.rnThe court's rationale: Montana's law allowing the use of marijuana for medical purposes merely decriminalizes it. It does not require employers to accommodate medical marijuana use.
