Can I lose my job with a marijuana prescription?!


Question: Can I lose my job with a marijuana prescription!?
I live in California, and I have a medical marijuana prescription!. I have a very good job that I can not afford to lose!. The company I work for does have a Drug Free Policy!. Can my employer terminate me for using marijuana even though I have a medical prescription!? Probably a stupid question!. I never have gone to work on drugs or never will, its just something I do on my own time!. There have been rumors going around at work among my department that I use marijuana but no one has ever seen or even knows for sure that I do!. Right now its just hear say, but some how someone found out!. They have to prove it so I'm just getting prepared to come up clean if they do test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I doubt it, but it would be a VERY good idea to look up the laws and/or consult with a lawyer!. I seriously doubt they can fire you for using a medically perscribed substance, just like I can't get fired for using my allergy medicine, even though it makes me dopey sometimes!.

Once you talk to a lawyer, don't wait for the test! Go to your employer and say, "Look, I've heard rumours that are pointing at me as a drug user!. I wanted to let you know that I have this perscription, it's legal and was issued by a doctor, and I never come to work high!." By addressing the issue before they do, you get points for being honest and for resolving a problem before it comes to a head!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ha!.!.!.I posted an answer, and it didn't post!. Anyway!.
No, if and when you are tested for drugs, simply state that you are prescibed medical marijuana by your doctor!. So they can call your doctor to verify it!. Medical marijuana is not illegal!. So you're good!Www@Answer-Health@Com
