Go back and read the article - he wasn't high at work. You guys are making straw man arguments.
To summarize:
2008 associate of the year (ie a great worker)
Sinus cancer and inoperable brain tumor
Prescribed medical marijuana to deal with pain
Not high at work, but tests positive (which you'd expect - it is detectable for days/weeks after use)
Fired for testing positive *and* Walmart tried to make him ineligible for benefits.
