149. My husband, a MMJ patient has lost two jobs for testing positive.
Actually, they were new jobs who both said they didn't have a problem with it initially. The first one laid him off after two months after asking him to use a different medicine for his pain (which he did not). The second job ignored him for two weeks after offering him the job, then had some secretary call him to say they wouldn't be hiring him after all due to "policy." There are NO protections for patients and corporations have no morals, so the result is a segment of people who cannot get jobs without compromising their own principles and finding out first hand that honesty does not pay, literally. It's a sad realization for people who pride themselves on being truthful.
