yes, everytime I converse with a mod you seem to show up to agree, ass kisser.
While I don't agree with WalMarts decision, I believe they have the right to do so.
He was also employee of the year, but I guess using medical marijuana for his cancer was too much for Wally World.

the war on marijuana is an abomination.
it's a terrible indictment of America that we would wage war on people....
to the point of destroying their lives....
merely for smoking a plant that is LESS DANGEROUS than
alcohol
tobacco
nuclear power plants
nascar
football
boxing
hockey
mountain climbing
unjustified invasions of foreign nations
eating mcdonalds burgers and fries
MILLIONS of good, HARD WORKING, decent Americans smoke pot and
get college degrees
get married
buy houses
own businesses
pay taxes
have children
send these children to colleges
laws against marijuana are based on lies, fear and ignorance
they should be overturned NOW.
they are an abomination
legalize pot
regulate it
tax it
While I don't agree with WalMarts decision, I believe they have the right to do so.
How the fuck ?
If a doctor prescribed it, and it is then legal, how the fuck is that action defensible?
What if WAL MART took a moral stance against insulin? Maybe the company suffered a hostile takeover from C Scientists? Would economic sanctions against blood transfusions be ok with you? What about dialysis?
Equal
protection.
under
the
law.
The fucking law.
How hard is that to follow, really?

The aspect of this that always amazes me is how quickly the 'right' comes to the defense of corporations?
There are probably people working there on much worse drugs. Too bad, the guy seemed like a good employee. I'm sure Walmart can take that into consideration.
The dummies.

yea like prescription Drugs....the Antidepressants come to mind...my wife is a Epilectic...they gave her Tegretol....she said she felt like a Zombie....does not take it anymore....
The aspect of this that always amazes me is how quickly the 'right' comes to the defense of corporations? If individual freedom meant what they say it does, then why fire a person for something that has nothing to do with their work? Are rights only on the side of corporations?

ok a question.....if you were the manager of this store,and this guy came to work with a buzz....and it wasnt medical pot,he just smokes the stuff,what would you tell him?....

And that's the crux of the matter. Not all that long ago, I sat in court helping defend a business in a work comp claim involving denial of part of the claim and the firing of the employee. The employee failed a drug test--marijuana--required following a work related accident.
This isn't an issue about Wal-mart policy. This is an issue whether any business or entity has a right to have a zero policy regarding any substance, legal or not, prescription or not, that can affect a person's judgment or performance on the job. Marijuana and some other drugs that are detectable in the system for long periods is particularly an issue. They can affect a person's judgment or performance, and there is no way to determine in a drug test when the person last used it within the last two to six weeks. So if the policy is that the policy is violated if there is ANY found in the system, and the employees know that when they hire on, then that is a reasonable policy.
We won the case.

If you are a lawyer you know that WalMart has to equally enforce that rule. If someone is taking a prescription dru be it marijuana or whatever then they have to either fire them all that take it or not fire anyone.
It is an issue of policy. I can not believe you would deny that. You state yourself about the "zero policy".
Which is it?
Name one company in America that has a "zero tolerance" for prescription drugs.
Opinion follows: I think in some states an employer can fire any employee without cause. They don't like to do that because it opens them up to costs incurred through the unemployment system, so they usually fire people for cause...no matter how slight, no matter what description and depending on the will of the other employees and supervisors driving the issue, no matter how true.While I don't agree with WalMarts decision, I believe they have the right to do so.

Yes, prescription drugs can hurt more than they help sometimes.
