State of Washington says medical marijuana users can be fired.

A recent decision by the Supreme Court in the State of Washington found that an employer can fire a worker who uses medical marijuana, even if the worker uses the drug at home and the employer finds no evidence of poor performance on the job. Apparently, the case stems from a employee that was fired after a  positive drug screen. The Court found that the companies drug policy made no exception for medical marijuana. The case shows the unwillingness of the courts to force private employers to accommodate medical marijuana use. The Michigan medical marijuana user should know their company policy and position before medicate with the drug.
