FIRED FOR SUPPOSEDLY SMELL LIKE MARIJUANA AS A LICENEDSED MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENT - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Local Lighthouse: Mitarbeiterbewertung

For legal reasons we are not at liberty to disclose specific details regarding this former employee or the events described above. Local Lighthouse maintains a zero tolerance drug & alcohol policy. The use of controlled substances or alcohol is inconsistent with the behavior expected of employees, and subjects fellow employees and visitors to unacceptable safety risks. Neither federal nor state law prohibits employers from disciplining or terminating employees for marijuana use, even when the drug is used to treat a disability in accordance with California’s medical marijuana law. Although marijuana is now legal in California, it is still illegal under federal law. The Controlled Substances Act lists marijuana as an illegal drug, even if used for medicinal purposes. In regards to your "advice to management." Local Lighthouse takes these matters very serious. Your concern is appreciated. We will investigate the matter immediately. Remember we can only address those issues that are brought to our attention. If you would like to further discuss the matter please contact HR.
