Walmart fires employee for using medical marijuana in Michigan

Doubt it. Those are legal dontcha know. Like that makes any sense....*pic in my mind of choice between a drooling oxy'd out cashier or a gonja smoking cashier..uh, no contest..pass it over to me, my friend. Good article and, as always, Wal-Mart has their heads up their azzes in an illogical sense. LoL

I don't understand how they can do that since it is legal use of marijuana, especially since he could have been doped up on valium or oxycontin and he would have kept his job. I do think thepossibility of getting out of a compensation claim is a possible reason, though I have seen time and time again workers on drugs such as vicodin, benzos, etc have no problems. It is unfortunate, the stigma of weed. I hope the guy prevails in his case.

Javabean88; Me too!! It's a real shame that pot is so stigmatized. As a retired nurse investigator I have seen what this wonderful weed can do for those with everything from chronic pain, cancer, aids, diabetes side effects, even blood pressure! It's a medicinal plant and,yes, it's a drug but so much safer than most on the market. oh, it's fantastic for people with glaucoma also.
