It was pointed out that you could legally smoke in Calif. as well and the same outcome of being fired for having it in your system can be expected.
This seems wrong to me. If legally prescribed it should be treated the same as a bipolar meds, cardiac meds or any other.
Maybe we could cut healthcare costs if we eliminate drug testing.
People have tested positive for drugs from poppy seed muffins. Mythbusters tested it and it was confirmed.
